Can you imagine pain? - General Health Message Board

Because i've had a lot of pain recently in my left testicle, through my own fault I was wondering when the pain has finally disappeared (most of it has now) but can you actually imagine the pain still being because you've been use to it for so long?

Absolutely yes. Don't ask me how to get rid of it - that will probably take some kind of self-hypnosis, but I know that imaginary pain is real, so to speak.

its as if the pain has gone, but i keep trying to see if pain is there...

It's pretty common, I do that too. It can get very confusing!

If you do this for months, you might have a problem, but if you do it for only a few days, I wouldn't worry about it

Its a nightmare of a problem really. I keep thinking i've still got the pain, when I no that its gone because i can't feel it... its very strange.

Thanks
