I've been doing EMDR since January. Things have been going pretty well. I've gotten used to the process, and I've been making progress. I have also been staying in my body more. I've had a very good last few weeks espescially.
Something strange that has been happening is that I've been noticing a lot of physical pain. It has been steadily increasing until today when I could barely make it out of bed. At first, I thought I was maybe getting sick, but I haven't had any other symptoms. I don't think I've done anything recently to injure myself and it's more of an all over feeling. I have had a lot of injuries and it doesn't seem the same.
It's confusing. In the past, I've been a little concerned about maybe not feeling enough pain. I've walked off quite a few injuries only to realize later that I needed to see a doctor. I've passed kidney stones without taking any medication or feeling any more than a little discomfort. I've even broken bones and had that only hurt when the ER wrapped it wrong and I had to wait until the next day to get a cast. It just itched occasionally. Also, feeling like my body might not actually be real is something that I've struggled with.
My doctor has been concerned about my consistently low sed rate and is planning on sending me to see a rheumatologist to see if they can come up with an explanation. Is it possible for me to have been in pain all the time and I've just been blocking it out? If it is, how am I supposed to explain that to a doctor?
