Has anyone been diagnosed with Central Sensitization?

I have had a similar experience at Mayo Jax. Been thru PRC there. I first received a CS diagnosis 8 years ago but have since been treated with moderate success for a Spinal fluid leak. PRC gave me some great coping tools but I believe the central sensitization diagnosis is way overused at Mayo. Even different departments disagree about it.

I concur with both of you. If diagnosed correctly you can get better. If just given a dx bc they don’t know what it is, then you’re kinda screwed. I do my own PRC treatment (I have an idea of what that is, I haven’t been), it helps with coping, but doesn’t do much for all my true physiological problems and diagnoses. Glad I have the correct dx’s now. I do believe that C.S. is the correct dx for certain people with certain pain conditions, but to use it off label is basically like saying any neurological problem is C.S.
