I'm very happy in my life. I just have this strange phenomenon where I can't stop thinking about this pain and it causes it

I am exactly the same. Its tough but it's all a learnt behaviour from the brain.

Yes tom that's what I thought. My first reaction was you were telling me you had doubts it was tms or anxiety related but I now realise that's not what you were saying. You were saying that you suspect it is because you never give a diagnosis because you aren't a doc. I went to the docs this...

Because as pathetic as it sounds a statement like that throws all sorts of panic into me.

When you say you never say this do you mean you always say it's tms or you always say it's not????

I have had it looked at loads of times tom and they have all said the same.
