Very curious as to why I always hurt, even though I'm young?

Postby Azzurro » Fri Dec 12, 2014 2:17 pm

I remember ever since I was smaller I would always complain about pain. Even now, my back and shoulders are killing me and my wrists and hands hurt. I often complain about migraines and headaches every day. My parents are always kind of annoyed of my complaints, but I truly am in pain. I don't want to come to any wrong conclusions, but could I possibly have something that makes me feel like this all the time? I'm younger, not even eighteen yet, so being in pain constantly isn't something I'd like to deal with forever. :?

I'm really curious, does anyone think there could be a reason for all this pain or is it just random? :|

Have you talked to a doctor about it? I think you're right that there must be a reason. I don't think that much pain is random.
We think too much and feel too little.

 More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

I've been suffering with chronic pain daily since I was around 15 (I'm now 25). I've pleaded my case with so many doctors. Somehow I fall through the cracks. I've been told it's psychosomatic pain and that they can't do anything. I've had all the tests done and everything comes up negative (weirdly, I'm sad about that). My doctor told me that until I have a piece of paper that says what I have that it's all in my head. What's weirder is I've been on every anti-inflammatory drugs and they don't help in the slightest.
I feel highly pissed off that my pain is being ignored, and the more I think and research about it, the more I think it's fibro. Funny how there isn't any real test that can be done to prove that it is...
I've even fallen a pray to illegal opiate painkillers because the doctors didn't do anything. I've become dependant on them and now I've actually been clean for 26 days. My doctor would tell you I'm an addict for life, but really, I don't even think about them. What I do think about is how I was pain free with them.
So now I'm trying to boost my endorphins level to try to achieve what the opiates did, naturally. Eating spicy food, high protein, exercise a lot, listen to music that makes me happy. I'm also looking into Low Dose Naltrexone...but I feel I'm getting very off subject.
Best to get the tests done and kinda hope there is an anomaly somewhere so that he can help.
I'm sorry about your pain, I know way too well how it feels.

If you are able I think it may be of help to see a psychologist. I am in NO WAY saying that you are not experiencing pain (I do believe you), but could there be a chance that you are repressing something that is actualizing itself as physical pain? If so, talk therapy could be very useful.

Also, have you tried physical therapy?

I do wish you well because at such a young age that kind of pain is NOT normal.
