So what is ‘chronic pain’?


Here is the answer. The term chronic pain means a pain that lasts longer than any other pain. As per some theorists, “the term chronic pain that usually lasts longer than six months while some even suggest that chronic pain is the pain that lasts longer than 12 months.”
Chronic pain keeps the body hurting for weeks, months or even can continue for years after injuries. Any pain that lasts for 3 to 6 months can be called as chronic pain as defined by Doctors. The pain originates in the body, brain or in the spinal cord. This pain has a real effect on your health and day to day life.  Chronic pain are very troublesome as it’s a prolong pain which is disturbing all the time. If you don’t attend to the pain, it will turn miserable. “Better late than never in case of chronic pain”

People who suffer from chronic pain also have a higher rate of anxiety, depression and other such related issues.
Sometimes severe chronic pain is associated with the ten years mortality, especially from heart disease and respiratory diseases. It is found that people with chronic pain tend to have anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. All these factors are co related because if you body is not in peace how can you be tension free or sleep properly.
