As part of my work in the field of psychosomatic medicine State Psychiatric Hospital Wagner-Jauregg in Linz, Austria, since 2002 I have specialized in addition to the treatment of eating disorders, especially in the treatment (SFD) pain disorders. In contrast to patients with anxiety disorders, fatigue and depression almost people come up with what is called "persistent somatoform pain disorder" in my practice. This may be related to the fact that people with chronic pain - even if it does not find a specialist or not there is significant reason for this - can not imagine that the psychological and social factors that cause pain at the tumor boundary, maintain, reinforce and exacerbate.

The following report is intended to give of my book "Somatoform Disorders" better understanding (SFD) pain disorders.

Persistent somatoform pain disorder

A 39-year experience with car repairs in a traffic accident. He got up in the fog on the already squeezed together car and pinned in her car. Because he was wearing a seat belt, worse can be prevented. As it turned out, he did not sprain his right leg and injured. He is always awake. The biggest problem is the uncertainty on the one hand how hard it got him on the other hand, the total narrowing with the feeling that there is no air. He had to wait half an hour to be carved out of the car was a fireman. At the hospital bothering especially foot sprains and abrasions illness but rather unbearable in the chest area. He believes that there are no broken ribs, it hardly. The next day he tells visitors at the hospital accident. He got cramps in the chest area with radiating pain in the left arm. He thought he had a heart attack and developed a fear of death. Organic causes for this attack could not be found. Then he repeatedly complained of severe pain in the chest, which does not have an organic cause also in subsequent studies in other hospitals. Due to the ongoing chest pain, he two months sick leave until he went to work for fear of losing their jobs again. She began taking painkillers increased so far. At night he needed even sleeping pills, because if not, it will not hurt thin and could sleep. After half a year, chest pain is still there, often in conjunction with neck pain. A drug does not bring improvement, and treatment by specialist doctors and masseurs do not cause lasting pain.
