Chronic pain is a complex and often debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Unlike acute pain, which is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself, chronic pain persists. Pain signals keep firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, or even years. This type of pain can stem from an initial injury, such as a back sprain, or there may be an ongoing cause, such as illness. However, some people suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of body damage. The persistent nature of chronic pain significantly impacts an individual’s quality of life, often leading to diminished mobility, a dependency on medication, and challenges in performing everyday activities.

Chronic pain symptoms include persistent pain that may be sharp or dull, causing a burning or aching sensation in the affected areas. It can lead to fatigue, sleep disturbances, decreased appetite, and mood changes, such as depression and anxiety.
Chronic pain is diagnosed through a comprehensive medical evaluation that includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and sometimes, diagnostic tests such as imaging (MRI, CT scans) and blood tests. The diagnosis also considers the patient’s description of the pain, its duration, and impact on daily life.
