I saw my pain management doctor today and received a nerve block which he injected in my lower back. As I was laying on the table him and the nurse were talking too quietly for me to hear. I got really scared they were saying I was faking it and just talking about me being a liar. Am I being paranoid?

Yeah maybe it’s a little paranoia.
I doubt they were bad mouthing you or calling you a liar.
Hang in there @SunGirl!

I have this same fear whenever I see my pain specialists. I think it’s really common to feel like they think you’re faking it because it usually takes a long time for doctors to believe us in the first place.

Thanks Wave. You’re a good guy. Yeah I doubt they would talk about me in front of me. It scares me the psychosis is creeping in.

They were probably talking about another patient or business stuff.

It’s very likely they were talking about anything else or just communicating what they needed to do. Don’t let it stress you out too badly, I would say. Just bring it up with a doc next time you can.

That’s not a bad idea to mention it to my psychiatrist. I’ve been psychosis free for a while now I hope it’s not creeping in.

If they thought you were faking it, it is highly unlikely that they would have performed the procedure on you. It sounds like it is just paranoia. As someone mentioned, you can always bring it up to your pdoc if it is really bothering you or if you notice more paranoia creeping in.

Thanks. My mom said the same thing. I’m feeling paranoid about something else too so I made an appointment with my psychiatrist. Right now I have the insight to reality test with you guys. Hopefully this is just a bump in the road and I stay in touch with reality.
