Dear Silentandscared,
Sometimes somatic pain is memory. I can be like a "body flashback" of sorts. There are times when I can't walk very well. My legs hurt. I shuffle. Yes, this is my "old man" or a "baby's body" remembering.
I think the mind is very powerful. I have seen my mind do things to my body and my experience in this world that put me in awe.
Blessings to You. Hang in there.
Robert and Laura
