Dr. Ivana what do you mean by functional pain? I'm the one who asked about chronic body pain... and Melixite is not helping me to get rid of it. Thank you for answering

Dr. Ivana Dabaj Pediatric Neurology
Functional means that it is not organic so not due to dysfunction in the body but it is mainly a manifestation of the body to externalise the pain. so for example when u r stressed you can hav abdominal pain, but your stomach is healthy, so it is the way of your body to tell you that you are stressed and your abdominal pain won't stop if you don't relieve the stress.
