Is it in my head?

Hi

After a fall I developed whip lash and fibromyalgia. However, the doctors I've seen seem to want psychological tests done on me. I have this feeling they feel my overall pain that I've NEVER had prior to my injury is in my head.
What do any of you think?
Read my first post as well.

Highly frustrated
Sandra

It makes me sad and angry to have overall pain. I want to unzip myself and step out of this strange body.
One doctor asked if I was ever sexually abused. I said no. He seemed disappointed. I do realize there are many factors that do bring Fibro out. One being whip lash and trauma/injury, amongst many others.
One doctor said to set goals and that i'll be running through the woods in a couple of months.
Another tells me i'm going through an adjustment/grieving period. Not wanting to accept this illness.
They now have me seeing a therapist.
They had me in aqua therapy and the water made me feel sicker so we had to discontinue that.
Because this is a workers comp case I have to follow the doctors rules or they will say I am not cooperating.
