Hello everyone I was reading this morning online about child sexual abuse and Chronic pain. There is a connection.. I am starting to believe that what happened to me as a child its causing my chronic pain. . I have never told my doctor about my childhood and the sexual abuse that I suffered I have been to afraid to tell them because My foster dad told me that If I ever told what he did to me He would find me and kill me. . Well I can't keep it a secret any longer. I have to tell my doctor Because if they don't know about it they can't make me feel better.

Tabby I thought your chronic pain was from the car accident that you wrote about the other day.

I personally take sexual abuse very seriously. I was abused for years as a child. But I assure you non of my pain is a result of that.

My pain is definitely not in my head. If you were abused as a child join the Incest survivors group.

Tabby I've read every post you've written here and in some of the other groups I'm in. You need help no doubt in my mind about that. PLEASE seek counseling.

Healing hugs

Tabby lets set the record straight the post on the car wreak did that happen? that way if it did not we can rule that out as your pain source.

No need to explain why we know why just say no it did not happen and we will leave it at that.

Sounds good Tabby. You will soon see that you get just as much attention being honest as you do by telling lies.
This board will support you as long as your honest about everything.
Good luck!
