Anyone with undiagnosed chronic pain?

...See more Hello, Ive been suffering from progressively worsening neuropathic pain in my legs, back and arm for the past 2 years. A few weeks ago, after struggling to find help for it I finally managed to get an MRI scan. Yesterday the results came back revealing that there was nothing wrong with me at all. The pain clinic I had been in a long waiting list to access have told me I will now have to wait 2 weeks to find out where I will be referred to next, and then Im worried I will have another indefinite wait ahead of me. This worries me a lot as I am due to sit my A level exams in a couple of months and I am really struggling to go into school every day and do day to day activities. I have been given the advice to not dwell on the pain and use schoolwork etc. to distract myself from it but the pain is so intense that it is hard to concentrate on anything and sometimes it stops me from getting out of bed in the morning. Does anyone have any experience with stuff like this? Or does anyone know any coping strategies? If anyone is struggling with similar issues and is feeling a bit stuck too maybe we could try and support each other? I hope this thread is relevant and does not come across as being too whiny (sorry if that is the case). Its the first time Ive made a thread on here.
