Did anyone see House last night? His shoulder was acting up and he got PT because "using your cane in the wrong hand is making your shoulder hurt".
Cuddy was the one to put 2 and 2 together... she called him on the carpet, saying something to the effect that his guilt over abusing his relationships with Wilson and his staff has manifested in his shoulder.
Wilson said it too, right? At the end? I wasn't paying attention when Cuddy said it. But I was pleased that whoever writes House seems to believe in emotionally-based pain. :-)
In a different episode that we saw here in NZ about 6 months ago House's leg was excruciating and he was having trouble functioning at all. Hi oncologist friend worked out that it was "TMS" although of course he didn't call it that. He said something along the lines of his mind was turning up the volume on his usual leg pain levels to distract him from something (I can't remember what it was).
I read not long ago that Hugh Laurie (House) needs the writers to 'cure House's limp' because having to walk the way he does in the series is giving him terrible back pain - how will they get over that one, I wonder.
Yeah I was going to post on that also. It was suggested that his shoulder pain is serving a psycological function. It is good these concepts are getting into mainstream dramas
TMS on House last night
