What is Considered Chronic Pain?
Pain that lasts more than three months at a time is considered chronic, and it’s widely believed to be a disease all on its own. Acute pain typically goes away as your body heals from an injury or health condition, but chronic pain persists. It can adversely affect your health and well-being, and lead to severe health problems such as:
- Loss of mobility, flexibility, and strength
- Fatigue and trouble sleeping
- Changes in mood
- Changes in appetite
- Difficulty completing daily tasks
- Missing work
- Isolation from social activities
- A less active lifestyle
Those who deal with painful symptoms every day often suffer emotional stress as a result of not being able to work, take care of their families, or participate in the activities they enjoy.
What Causes Chronic Pain?
The causes of chronic pain are as varied as the treatment options. Sometimes, chronic conditions cause painful symptoms, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and interstitial cystitis. Additionally, some of the most common health conditions that cause chronic pain include:
- Arthritis
- Back pain
- Cancer pain
- Neuropathy
- Sciatica
- Sports Injuries
- Headaches
