@tigernike1 I would like to make two points on your post. 1. Psychosomatic means an interaction of mental health effects from stress or some other problem, and from an actual physical problem. So he could be merely indicating you have stress or anxiety or something similar that is aggravating your physical problem. 2. Doctors can be wrong. My mother told her doctor she was having heart problems and the doctors for years dismissed it as just her anxiety. Finally she went to her present doctor and he sent her immediately to the hospital. She was diagnosed with a badly deformed heart that was terminal. They told her to go home and get her affairs in order. Her doctor who sent her to the hospital refused to believe it and found a teaching hospital that was willing to operate. She lived another 12 years. So if you believe you have a real problem, do not accept a diagnosis of nothing wrong. Keep trying and do not quit until you find a doctor who is willing to work with you to find out what is happening.
