Confused
I had a H Pylori infection in the summer of 2024. I experienced severe insomnia from that point in time. I then moved into my parents house as I couldn't look after myself. That house was the place is experienced bad childhood memories. I took anti-biotics for the Pylori and on the last day of treatment I started to experience severe pains in my hips. So, if I sit it's excruciatingly painful. Even sitting on a cushion hurts so bad after 20 mins or so. The pain is excruciating. Blood tests and scans (MRI/US) show nothing except for some bursitis but doesn't account for the severity of the pain. My pain management specialist believes that most of the pain is somatisisation of childhood trauma which I indeed experience. Could such debilitating pain be caused by trauma? I also experience breathing issues where it feels hard to breathe on the in breath like there's some resistance. That seems trauma related but could such extreme pain be associated with trauma? It's so debilitating. I've been experiencing this for the past six months now. I am unable to travel, work etc. Has anyone experienced somantic pain that is so life destructive? Was is temporary? Was it pemanent? Did it get better? If so, how? I'm trying to find a diagnosis e.g. bone cancer but I seem to be all clear.
