Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) treatment approach: Function is the key! Jun 28 2:41pm | By Tanya Crowder, OTR/L (@tanyaot)Comment receiving replies
I have been diagnosed with CRPS . My pain started with small abdominal muscle tear 2010 that was left for 6 yrs untreated. It became a very serious injury due neglect. Ultimately it went to the Celiac Plexus, im not sure in what form, irritation im guessing, seeing a Neurologist to find out but altho im not diagnosed with nerve centralization I think this is a more apt diagnosis. I result a received spinal cord stimulator last yr....with terrible results. Its just removed but due my nerves issue recovery is extremely hard and its caused numbness in my legs/ right foot.
To answer your question, if you understand Neuroplasticity ( I have read extensively on the subject being bed bound for months) theoretically you absolutely should be able to reduce/ improve your pain.
Have you heard of Joe Dispenza/Dr Sarno etc. If not Pls research. I had to read extensively to become a believer because I had had no understanding of the concept.
One has to be be very dedicated and if you choose to Meditate it is extremely hard for many to be well disciplined.
Pls Google Joe Dispenza stories of transformation for inspiration.
At this point I have nothing to loose, western medicine has pretty much destroyed my nervous system to the point of being predominantly house bound.
However post Stimulator removal 5 wjs ago im throwing myself wholeheartedly into hollistic healing. Also have you heard of TMS, similar I believe to central sensitization. ( Dont quote me on that!)
Sorry this is long.
Pls would you be kind enough to update us after your pain class. I would love to know how you make out. The Spero Clinic does wonderful work but hugely expensive. Gd Luck !!

@anniesezu812 have you heard of the Spero Clinic in Fayetteville AR? They have a wonderful program for CRPS
@anniesezu812 Hello, I am just seeing your message from September of last year. I have been trying to find out what has been causing my chronic pain in my right side/oblique/flank area just above my right hip.
This has been going on since July of 2023, and I have had multiple images of my abdomen, oblique muscles, low back and hip area, all with the same reply from the doctors; they do not see anything that would cause my pain. I am in pain from when I get up until I go to bed, every day, all day. The muscles on my right side have been permanently locked/spasmed, and none of the procedures / treatments I have had done has made any difference.
Something I wondered at the beginning of this pain cycle, was if I had a torn muscle in my abdomen or oblique muscles. Every new image that did not show anything wrong made me wonder less about a muscle tear. But you mentioned how many years your tear went undiagnosed, and I wanted to reach out to ask about your experience with getting imaging done, and what the doctor(s) were telling you.
Thank you, I hope your weekend is going well,
Marc

I took the 5 week pain class and sadly my health continues to deteriorate. The pain class seemed to help the other students, though.
The only relief I get is from the benzodiazepine Ativan. I avoid taking the drug every day because of its addictive potential. But it has a huge effect on my pain, confusion, and disability. The “Ativan days” I can cook, eat, walk, think clearly, and clean the house. Does anyone else have this experience? The neurologists seem surprised by this correlation.
