I have been in therapy for quite some time, but it hasn’t helped. I’ve been told I need a trauma therapist so I’m looking into that. I just don’t seem to be getting into the right places around here. I can’t find anyone who knows about central sensitization either.

@sandywilford Not many doctors understand or have training in Central Sensitization, nor do they care much because it is outside of their specialty box. We really can't blame them, they're just doing their jobs. When traditional medical approaches begin failing, specialized doctors typically stay in their lane and don't know how to treat CSS. That's why a pain management program that treats the whole body holistically is the best approach to CSS. It requires commitment from the patient too. They have to want to work towards personal growth, improvement and management of their symptoms.

Have you looked at the link I provide you for Mayo's pain rehab center? You said earlier that you want to go. Is it something you are serious about? Do you believe it's an attainable goal for you?
