Eddy Chen from the classical music duo TwoSet Violin was in a wheelchair because he experienced psychosomatic pain, a condition that caused him very real sensations of pain without any underlying physical injury.
Understanding Psychosomatic Pain and Its Impact
A neurologist diagnosed Eddy's condition as psychosomatic pain. This is a type of pain where an individual feels genuine and often severe pain sensations, even though medical examinations find no structural or physical damage to the body that would typically account for such pain.
In Eddy's specific case, this pain was so intense and debilitating that it limited his mobility, making him unable to move on his own and necessitating the use of a wheelchair. The experience of psychosomatic pain, while not stemming from a physical injury, is profoundly real to the person experiencing it and can significantly impact their daily life and physical functions.
