Functional MRI and PET scans are extremely expensive and are not likely to be used to find out if pain is 'real' or psychosomatic. Frankly it does not matter. Pain is pain.


Try gabapentin, see if it works. That is in general what they do here in the States.

Diagnosis by whichever medication works.
