Hmmmm, I am only listing my physical symptoms as an example, no violins required.
Things that I have told my doctor about in letters but he only wants to deal with mental issue first. I understand that due to brain chemistry affecting perceptions of feeling etc.
So, anyway, time to bore us.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (annoying, but not getting worse) Guyon canal syndrome( restricts nerves to the smallest 2 fingers of the hand. Cubital tunnel syndrome and/or radial tunnel syndrome (sometimes these could be confused with elbow tendinitis etc. Usually after weight training (or my feeble attempts) I have an allround the elbow joint/arm circumference ache (cubital/radial/tennis elbow???)
Using screwdrivers, gripping things, aches after a while. If I lean on a window sill, palms down, the usual approach, I start to feel a shoulder joint ache, and the numbness of carpal/guyon in the palm/wrist area.
Since about 23 years old, I have had a stiffness of lower back/feels like a restriction, wondered if it was
ankylosing spondylitis etc.. arthritis blah blah...
The maddest thing about those issues above is that they feel like they are on both arms, both elbows, both shoulders. WHY would that be?
If I try to read a book in bed, it aches after a while either because my neck hurts lol to look forward (oh, I have specs now, that might help, OR my carpals/guyons (easiest way to see it)shoulders ache.
So, it's just plain silly because these things surely under normal wear and tear should be one side and certainly not all things on both sides?
I looked at fibro, does not feel at all like me.
So, I understand the hypochondriac sensitivity very well.
I have put up with these things for between 7 and 13 years, mainly because of couldn't care about tomorrow attitude.
I summarise that it may just be chronic lack of exercise and tardiness (not the carpal thingies etc though). I suppose I better tell the doc "oiiii, give me a scan or something or whatever, just in case it's a magic curse that was cast on me by a disgruntled customer"
Also, I don't like to bother the doc, as he has hundreds of "real" (my way of thinking) people to deal with.
They have families etc, so its important that they get healed/treated.
Depressive feelings certainly do not help anyone, that's for sure.
People can live a life, with most traumas if not depressed. I am practically jealous of those people. I just don't get it!!!
Anyway, no violins okay?
