It’s not all in your head

Have you ever experienced unexplained pain, weakness, or other symptoms that were dismissed by medical professionals as being “all in your head”? You’re not alone. Many people undergo a grueling journey of MRI’s, muscle and nerve testing, x-rays, and more, only to be told that there is nothing wrong with them or that their symptoms are the result of stress or anxiety. This can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening, but it’s important to remember that your symptoms are real and there are solutions available.

It’s not uncommon for medical professionals to dismiss symptoms that they can’t explain, but this doesn’t mean that the problem is imaginary. Pain and other symptoms can be caused by a variety of physical issues, including nerve damage, musculoskeletal imbalances, and inflammatory conditions. However, these issues can be difficult to diagnose, and many medical professionals lack the specialized training and knowledge necessary to identify and treat them.

It’s also worth noting that mental health professionals can be an important resource for patients with unexplained symptoms. Chronic pain and other physical symptoms can have a significant impact on mental wellbeing, and addressing mental health concerns can sometimes help alleviate physical symptoms as well.

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained symptoms, it’s important to advocate for yourself and seek out the help you need. Keep a detailed record of your symptoms, including when they occur, what makes them better or worse, and any other factors that seem to be related. This can help you and your healthcare provider identify patterns and potential triggers that may be contributing to your symptoms.

It’s also important to be honest with your healthcare provider about any stress, anxiety, or other mental health concerns you may be experiencing. Mental and physical health are deeply interconnected, and addressing both can be critical for long-term symptom relief and overall wellbeing.

Finally, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Many people experience unexplained symptoms that are dismissed by medical professionals, but there are resources and healthcare providers available to help. By advocating for yourself and seeking out the right healthcare professionals, you can find solutions that address the root causes of your symptoms and help you feel better.

In conclusion, if you’ve been told that your symptoms are “all in your head”, it’s important to remember that your symptoms are real and there are solutions available. While it can be frustrating and disheartening to be dismissed by medical professionals, there are healthcare providers who are dedicated to helping patients with complex and chronic conditions. By seeking out the right healthcare professionals and advocating for yourself, you can find solutions that address the root causes of your symptoms and help you feel better.

Hi! I’m Brian Cade and the founder of Strength From Within by CadeFit. My journey began as a personal trainer who ended up with chronic migraines, back pain, and more. It got to the point eventually… I could barely walk a 1/2 mile without issues. I tried it all and became so frustrated with the traditional approaches that failed me. I developed our Integrative Movement System where we help people get rid of chronic pain without surgery, medications, and solutions that don’t last so you can get back to living a life you love!
