In 2004 i was raped by a stranger. I'd foolishly let him into my house! I felt pain in my back and my left hip when he did it. That pain never really went away. For about two years it actually got really bad and ive had difficulty walking even. I am in constant pain, although i would say that in the last couple of months it has got slightly better. Although im still undergoing various tests the doctors i have spoken to seem to think that it is emotional. I have been raped on many occassions and i've never had this before! Also, he was particularly nasty an it hurt a lot when he did it. He seemed to enjoy hurting me. It feels physical. I am confused. Anyone experienced similar?

It can be both. on the aniversery of my rape it was as if it were happening again. I went through everything over again. I had people who cared about me there but nothing could get past the pain and loniness I felt

since the body and mond are one, if one is off, so is the other. emotional pain can absolutely cause phsyical sensations. that's what all he "bodywork" therapies are about. i heard there is a special kind of msaage for victims if trauma... i wonder if that could help...

I am also going through the same thing. I have severe muscles spasms almost seziure related. I have severe back and leg pain. I have been to many doctors and had many tests done. I traveled to NYC to a movement disorder clinic. I was told it was physicogentic movement disorder. your brain has the intendency to shut down "i also have disaciociation" "short term memory loss" The doctors say its in "my head" I have been in a wheel chair for almost three years now. I think the meds I am on are helping, however when I go into a cold room I have a spasm attack. I still wonder if something is going on. Don't feel bad I too am going through it and I still don't understand what it is. I am tired of the doctors saying its in my head!!!!

That is the same as me, I was gang raped and they all enjoyed hurting me and it was excruciating, ever since I experience the same pain everytime I try and have sex again. I was wondering the same thing? I really trust my boyfriend and he has been so supportive and I want to get my life and relationship back to normal desperatley, but I don't know whether its physically or subconciously but I can't.
