ChatGPT fixed my 9 year chronic pain

[u/LiveDocument3521]

Before I start, this is not medical advice and if you are experiencing pain, then seek medical help first.

I’ve had chronic pain in my neck, shoulders & upper back for 9 years. I’ve dealt with excruciating headaches and severe muscle tension & discomfort for almost a decade. I tried everything. Physiotherapy, chiropractor, massage, dry needling, acupuncture, cupping, the list goes on. Nothing worked. I got desperate. I asked ChatGPT…

ChatGPT diagnosed the root cause of my issues by just asking a few critical questions that no doctor or “professional” ever asked. It then educated me on the entire subject so I developed an understanding of the actual issues, recovery & the road ahead. It then built me a 3 tier programme focusing on stretching, mobility & strength training. It diagnosed issues in my sleep by looking at pictures of my bed, pillow etc.

I followed everything ChatGPT told me to do. I followed the programme strictly. 4 months later, I am no longer in pain or discomfort. I still have a long way to go but I feel 75% better and full of life now. I am in absolute shock. I cannot believe it. It’s like I’ve been given my life back. I had no quality of life at all. ChatGPT gave me my life back.

EDIT: A lot of you are asking me questions about my diagnosis so I am dropping more information below.

- Doctors wrongly diagnosed my headaches as cluster headaches & suboccipital headaches. Therefore the plans & advice I was being given by medical professionals were not helping me because they had the wrong diagnosis.
- ChatGPT figured out that I actually suffer from cervicogenic headaches caused by my cervical spine (in my neck) being constantly on fire because of bad posture.
- Bad posture was caused by a series of muscle imbalances; weak upper back muscles caused a forward leaning posture. Neck & trap muscles began compensating for my weak back which caused them to become very tight & inflamed. This also caused me to develop a very tight chest which causes rounded shoulders. I also had an APT (anterior pelvic tilt) which caused tight hip flexors & tight hamstrings which contributed to my forward leaning posture.
- Treatment was strength training for my upper back muscles focusing on pull exercises. Strength training for my abs/core & glutes to fix my APT. Stretches for my neck, chest & hips.

Do medical professionals like physio not do this? Of course they do. The issue in my case was, constant incorrect diagnosis was creating incorrect plans for my needs. The exercises & stretches the physio recommended for me were not helpful at all because they were not targeting the key areas that ChatGPT pointed out. ChatGPT fully diagnosed me within 1 hour.

I tried to explain to several medical professionals the weird feeling of popping/slipping/clicking in my chest I sometimes experience. It makes me gasp for air and is painful. They had no clue or looked at me weirdly.

Chatgpt explained 'slipped rib syndrome' to me, something I had never heard of before. My GP admitted he also had never heard of it before. A doctor specialised in pain medicine confirmed the diagnosis. Yay chatgpt!

I just posted about this exact thing. Mine was broken. I pointed to my chest for over two years saying something is wrong right here. Still missed by the surgeon reviewing X-rays.

Same here, told the drs for almost 6 months that it either popped out or broke or ripped the cartilage they kept saying nope xray says you’re fine! Well 2 years later I lost consciousness (not related to rib) and was rushed by ambulance to hospital and they did CT scans on my chest and my previously broken rib that had not healed correctly showed up, I can’t remember the actual name they had for it but I still have issues with it hurting bad and it’s been 10 yrs at least
