Chronic pain is any pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks, even if medication or treatment is being applied. After a serious injury, most people tend to heal, but when you’re dealing with chronic pain, it can last much longer and seriously impact your daily life and functions. Chronic pain could be caused by a traumatic injury or surgery or other complications. It’s important to understand how to manage your chronic pain so that you can live as comfortably as possible.

Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is common and affects more people than you may realize. Chronic pain could be caused by a specific injury or could be a side effect of another condition that you’re dealing with. Pain can be different for each person. It could affect one specific area of your body or you may feel it all over.

Chronic pain can also be difficult to diagnose. It’s hard to explain the pain you’re feeling and it can often be minimized. It’s important to talk to your doctor when you regularly experience pain to find out if there are ways that your chronic pain can be managed.

Often, chronic pain can’t be fully cured, but there are ways to manage your pain so that you can function each day. You might want to look into exercise that is low impact. This could mean exercising in a pool or performing yoga. Relaxation is also important for managing chronic pain.

Your doctor might recommend taking pain medications on days that pain is excruciating. Other lifestyle changes can also help ease pain. You can try changing your diet to include less inflammatory foods and be sure that you’re staying active to build up muscle and lessen your pain.
