Hi Mantas ,

Thank you for your post. I'm very sorry to hear about your chest and stomach pain. It sounds like you have been trying to get medical help for a long time but your doctors could not improve your condition.

As you say you have been feeling like this for ten years, I suppose all potentially life-threatening causes have been ruled out which is good! However, you are still suffering which is understandably causing a lot of frustration for you.

Pain generally signals that something is going wrong in our bodies, but unfortunately, with chronic pain the "cause" of symptoms is not always straightforward. Sometimes there is no detectable problem to be diagnosed, but that doesn't mean the pain we feel is not just as real.

I don't know the details of your situation, but it may be helpful at least in the short term to focus on trying to improve your pain itself. You mentioned going to many doctors and psychiatrist - can I ask, if they have suggested you to enter into a pain management programme?

Many people with chronic pain find - especially those who did not find medication helpful - that psychological and physical techniques can greatly improve their pain experience. We have some information leaflets on our website. If you would like to read about this, you can find it here: painconcern.org.uk/manage-y...

Other materials on the Pain Concern website may also be of help - they are all reliable resources if you are researching anything relating to chronic pain.

Wishing you the best,
