Chronic Pain
Everyone feels pain at one time or another. Some pain may be short term and may need a mild medicine or no medicine at all, or it may go away on its own.
Chronic pain is different from pain that you have once in awhile. It can continue for months or even years without changing. It can be treated with lifestyle changes and medicine, but a cure is not always possible. Chronic pain can become a permanent part of a person’s life1.
Fifty-six percent of adults 20 years of age or older report long-lasting pain2.
Common causes for chronic pain include:
- An injury that cannot be completely healed or treated
- A serious disease such as diabetes or cancer
- Obesity that puts strain on parts of the body such as the knees and back
- The natural effects of aging1
If you think you may suffer from chronic pain, you should talk to your healthcare professional.
