Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

A few months ago my knee started hurting terribly, I couldn't walk without limping. It was so out of nowhere that a specialist diagnosed it to be psychosomatic.
He first told me to quit my job, because that was causing too much stress, and look for a new one.
So I did. And that actually helped at first.
But then the pain came back even stronger. That was very frustrating since I already had quit the job and, apart from my mental illnesses, there was not much going on that was causing me stress.
So I decided to just ignore the pain, and even continued working out (best to my ability + taking lots of ibuprofen beforehand). It still hurt for a week or so, but nowadays the pain rarely comes back.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that what helped me was focusing on the fact that the pain is psychosomatic and choosing to ignore it.
Not sure if that's a recommendable way to deal with it, but still wanted to share. : )

Investigate "The nocebo effect"
It's based on the thory that the mind is so powerful that it can manifest genuine symptoms
I once saw a woman with a phantom pregnancy- for all the world you would think she was 8 months

What helped for me was not thinking about it. Realizing that I'll only notice them more if I think about them, and when the brain doesnt get a reaction it'll make them less noticeable. Of course it was only possible with meds too though, psycho somatic symptoms are hard
