Hi @suerc. Thank you for your reply, and being curious to learn more about CSS. I took a quick look at your previous Connect comments and threads, and I see you have had a lot going on. I'm sorry for your pain and struggles.
Here is a video, from Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sletten, explaining Central Sensitization Syndrome. This is a great place to start.

Do you mind getting back to me with your thoughts, after watching the video?

Dr. Sletten's presentation is excellent...straightforward, logical, and compassionate. I am privileged to view it and will save the link to go back to it in the future. My gratitude to Mayo for this video and for Dr. Sletten's expertise...I have been disgusted with Mayo for their past failures in helping with my condition, which was actually created by the failure of 23 physicians to diagnose anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment over 3 years AND their cruelty in dismissing my pain. Kudos, Dr. Sletten. Wish I could take part in your rehab program./Julie Marx
My thoughts on the video are that the doctor does an excellent job of explaining central sensitization and how we can deal with our pain. To me knowing the "why" helps me to move forward with the suggestions given. I first heard the term central sensitization when diagnosed with fibromyalgia at Mayo clinic in 2016. I again heard the term while with my brother at his pain doctor visit in 2019. I plan to share this link with friends and family who have similar pain issues.
