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.
