@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?

Yes, going to the pain center would be attainable for me. I just didn’t know how they could help the bladder. Is their an anxiety program their also. Would a doctor who specializes in css evaluate me?

I would suggest that they need more training in understanding the biopsychosocial nature of pain. Then they would handle sensitive patients differently for a start. And those with an existing central sensitisation condition also. I told my surgeon before surgery that I was hypersensitive. There was no clue that this was heeded in any way.
