Chronic Pain Can Steal Sleep, Work and Pleasure. Whenever you may have stubbed a toe, pulled a muscle, sprained an ankle or smacked your head, you’ve felt pain – sometimes for days. And as bad as pain feels, it’s in fact good for you. Acute pain is the body’s way to tell you to stop what you are doing and protect yourself. Eventually the injured tissue heals and the acute pain goes away.

But imagine if the pain didn’t go away. Chronic pain – defined as persistent pain lasting longer than six months – affects millions of people. It can result from so many things: injuries that never fully healed; failed surgeries; lower back problems; arthritis; fibromyalgia; and a variety of diseases. Chronic pain makes it difficult or impossible for a person to carry out a job or perform ordinary activities. It can cause loss of appetite, interfere with sleep, lead to deconditioning, frustration, and tends to take the joy out of life.


There are countless origins of chronic pain, but once pain becomes chronic, the patient's diagnosis may no longer be the originating illness or injury.
