I relate a lot to what you';re saying, Racer and Fallsfall.
Early this summer, before my T left for vacation, I began to notice that pattern.
It's a way of coping with being overwhelmed with some other feeling, I think. (I'm blanking out a little on what I came to about it. ) As I recall, it was a way of shutting out something I couldn't deal with. I'm going to try to remember more of what we said, and come back to this later. It's so frustrating how often I forget the important things I talk about with him.
But Racer, my parents also chose a sadistic pediatrician when I was young-- about 5-- I had some symptoms, and he said I was lying about them, because children of my age never got those symptoms. My mother believed him, rather than me.
Turned out I was right.-- except he wouldn't do anything until it got really serious-- leading to a whole bunch of stuff that I really won't go into--
Plus my mother decided I should still see him--
So I do know something about being treated horribly and suffering because of the inconpetence and spite of medical people-- and also possibly parents who didn't have much sense.
Would you want to say what the PT is doing? I've had long-term shoulder problems and been to endless PTs, with no results, until the last one, who has helped a little.
Not to pry, but are you doing muscle=strengthening? I'm doing a lot of that, so I wondered. Is there anything specifically that this PT is doing that feels insensitive or uncaring? (If you want to say)
I'm sorry it hurts so much. Do you have pain meds? You really shouldn't be in that much pain. If the pain were less, you would feel more yourself, and perhaps not be overwhelmed by the other feelings. Pain makes everything else start to be too much.
