Has anyone been diagnosed with Central Sensitization?

I was just diagnosed with Central Sensitization Syndrome and I'm enrolled in the pain rehabilitation program at the end of this month. I have been dealing with issues since December 2017, which have ultimately led to me not being able to run or walk normally and the pain has been so severe that I have been unable to work. I am hoping and praying that upon the completion of the program that I will be able to return to work finally. If not, I don't know what I'm going to do. I would love to hear about other patient's experiences with the pain clinic and how they've been able to not let this take over their life. I was extremely active prior to all of this happening to me and it has been really depressing on the limitations it has caused in my life.

I went through the PRC program in Rochester nearly a little under two years ago and can say, without hesitation, it changed my life!! I had been dealing with Central Sensitization Syndrome, and a vast array of debilitating symptoms for many years without the proper diagnosis. Before I got sick, I was active and proud of my career. I hadn't been able to do much of anything, let alone work, for about two years prior to attending the PRC. After the program, I was able to go back to work and do all of the things I previously loved - hiking, yoga, camping, traveling, etc!!! The PRC will help you learn how to manage your symptoms and live your life to its fullest potential. I always say to people...I am not who I was before chronic pain - I am even better! I credit all of that to PRC (and so do my family and friends who saw me go through everything). I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the program but my one piece of advice to you is this - it might seem strange at first. It might not "feel" like it's going to work but just trust it. It can work if you follow the plan. These are some of the world's most brilliant doctors and therapists who have researched chronic pain and understand what actually works. I (and many of my cohorts that I went through the program with) are living testaments to its success rates. Wishing you the very best of luck on this life-changing journey you're about to start on. Congratulations on getting the proper diagnosis, finding the program and taking the steps to take back control of this horrible monster (CSS/Chronic Pain) that ruins so many lives.
