Looking for answers for chronic pain
Chronic Pain | Last Active: May 21 2:44pm | Replies (11)Comment receiving replies
hello, i am also going through something kinda similar. for the last decade i have had severe GI issues and gynecological issues where i can’t work or go to school. they have stopped doing tests and said i have chronic pain syndrome and want to send me to a three week pain program but i think it will make me worse. keep fighting for answer. the CPP diagnosis is when they don’t know what to do. u r only 8 months in to ur journey do not give up yet ther could totally be more wrong. chronic pain syndrome does take six month at least of ongoing pain with no cause but like there could be soo many reasons for things that they aren’t possibly thinking of that i have had to think of for my own self. like look into genetic testing i think is a very big first step

Thank you for your response. It feels good to talk with someone who is feeling what I’m feeling! I am waiting on my genetic testing results now. I’m not sure how thorough it is but I’m hoping it has answers for me. I am waiting and hoping to see a rheumatologist if I’m accepted. I have been feeling exactly what you described, that CPS means my doctor doesn’t know. I don’t want to live on pain meds. It can be hard when the medical professionals keep telling you that there’s nothing more to be done. Luckily I saw a nurse practitioner for a second opinion and she has justified my feeling that there is more to look into. She wants me to start with rheumatology and then look into oncology. Thank you for validating my opinion to not give up and just accept the CPS diagnosis.
