Just out of curiosity Jay, has a doctor ever told you or written in his
report that he thought your pain was all in your head?
--No
If so, did he send you to a shrink...
--Yes
...or just let you continue to deal with the pain?
--No
The doc believed the pain was real, all right. He sent us to a shrink
because he thought we could learn some behavioral pain control techniques,
such as stress reduction, breathing techniques, and relaxation.
