A very interesting read. I developed chronic pain after a fairly minor injury (at least, now I can see it was minor) and then proceeded to waste 4 years on diagnosis and physical therapy and exercise that wasn't helping at all. My latest doctor did mention 'central sensitisation', but it wasn't suffuciently contextualised for me to do anything with that information. I gave notice at my job of 4.5 years for unrelated reasons and had a complete reversal of pain within a couple of weeks. While it is great to be out of that hell, it is completely terrifying that I wasn't able to recognize what was keeping me in pain.
