04/27/2014 What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is difficult to define or describe. Generally, it means
pain that does not respond to the usual forms of medical management,
that is, it does not go away. Having pain that persists can create a
number of problems.
• Simple movements may seem more difficult and may make a person become less active.
• Sleep may be interrupted. A person may be less patient and may start running into problems at home, at work or both.
• A person may feel hopeless, depressed, frustrated, angry or STRESSED.
There is no miracle cure for chronic pain, but much of the suffering and disability that accompanies it is preventable.
There are no easy answers for people with chronic pain. Coping with a
chronic pain problem requires patience, hard work and a willingness to
change how things are done.
