Yeah I didn’t want to imply all chronic pain is not serving a purpose. I meant we should figure out good base rates what the underlying issues are by fixing a bunch of cases exhaustively.
I’m not exactly sure I know what you mean with “fixing a bunch of cases exhaustively” in the current state of medicine. It sounds similar to me like “cure a bunch of cancers exhausively”. It seems quite far outside of what mainstream medicine is equipped to do.
Yeah I didn’t want to imply all chronic pain is psychosomatic
I don’t think that’s a useful way to look at it. Pain arises as a complex interaction between the body and the mind. The pain that patients have at the dentist certainly isn’t psychosomatic, that doesn’t mean that you can shut it off psychologically if you want to do that. It’s just pain.
On the other side, you do need a sense of safety to get acetylcholine release in fascia. Without that you won’t get certain bodily tension released.
If someone has sensor motor amnesia downstream from suppressing an emotion like anger, just shutting of the pain might not solve the psychosomatic issue at it’s base level.
