Pain occurs in many ways. Pain is subjective and unique. Pain is personal. At the same time, pain is universal to us as humans. We all experience some degree of pain. Millions of people around the world experience the same pain and frustration. So pain is the concern of many people. Doctors, health professionals and researchers are working to find a solution to this calamity. Pain is restricting our mobility and flexibility. Pain means energy and vitality down the drain. Pain kills our mood and valuable sleep. Pain does not come alone it is accompanied by inflammation. Chronic pain affects many adults. Pain has become a regular part of their life. As an example, pain follows a cut in our body, a fracture of a bone and surgery. Chronic pain can interfere with our daily activities, such as working, having a social life and taking care of self or others. It can lead to depression, anxiety and trouble in sleeping, which can make the pain worse. This response creates a cycle that’s difficult to break. Pain is classified as acute when it comes on suddenly and has a specific cause (e.g. a broken bone, a cut, childbirth). Acute pain doesn't generally last longer than 6 months and stops when the cause of the pain is resolved. Chronic pain lasts longer and is still there after the initial cause has been. Sometimes there's no previous injury or apparent damage.
