Answer to your first sentence is "possible". But it is important to take the doctor's opinion ( the doctor who has treated you for trauma). It is important to rule out any physical problem before saying that it is Psychosomatic
Next Steps
First consult the doctor who has treated you for trauma or same speciality doctors .
