I have been told this, but the doctor who diagnosed this (central sensitisation or CS) was wrong.
I'm not saying that CS doesn't exist, of course it does and pain management therapies can help significantly with this. However CS or 'hypersensitivity' is a diagnosis of exclusion and I wonder if they have looked at other differential diagnoses to exclude them.
so sorry you had an answer like that Helen that is not helpful.. we do not make things up ..most folk want to feel well ..do not give up see another doctor ...then another if needed untill you get an answer and to someone to listen to you ...
What type of surgery did you have. I am going to have Pudendal Nerve Decompression and every one I talked to says it is painful but they are dancing, playing with grandchildren and climbing stairs plus they have control over bowel and bladder. Don't know if this info helps but I hope it offers something.
