What is Chronic Pain?
In medical terms, pain is typically described as acute or chronic. Acute pain is short lived, typically lasting no more than 30-60 days at most. It’s often related to some type of injury, such as a burn or broken bone. Chronic pain, however, lasts much longer.
While specific definitions vary, any pain lasting longer than 6 months is generally considered to be chronic. Chronic pain can range in intensity from mild to severe, and may be episodic or continuous. It may even impact your ability to work and lead a normal lifestyle.
What Causes Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain and complex regional pain syndrome can be originally triggered by almost any injury or condition, or in some cases not have any clear original cause at all. This persistence is often times difficult to explain. In any case, the source of the pain will originate in one of three places.
- The body – Burns, broken bones, amputations, or any other physical injury throughout the body may eventually develop into a case of chronic pain. In these situations, the nerves affected by the injury are continually sending pain signals to the brain.
- The brain – Sometimes there may not be an originating injury, or even if there was, the nerves are operating normally, but the perception of pain is purely psychological.
- The spinal cord—Injuries or conditions that have affected the spinal cord sometimes send signals to the brain that give the illusion of pain somewhere in the body despite not having any legitimate medical malady in that area.
Was your chronic pain or regional pain syndrome caused by someone else’s negligence? Was someone driving recklessly and crashing into you? Did a store fail to clean a wet floor, and you fell, sustaining serious traumatic injuries? If you suffer physical pain, whether it is mild or severe pain, you deserve to hold the at-fault party accountable for what you have suffered.
Our law firm offers a free consultation to anyone who suffered an injury due to someone else’s poor treatment, negligence, or recklessness. We work closely with victims of accidents of all kinds and work to find the best course of action to fight for compensation on your behalf.
Different kinds of accidents and injuries have different potential outcomes for compensation. Discuss your case with an attorney today to learn more about legal options for your personal injury case.
How is Chronic Pain Treated?
The pain will be treated based on the details of its cause and origin. As the cause of chronic pain may be either medical or psychological, different treatments will be needed. In either case, pain is purely subjective, with no means of accurately measuring it.
It is up to the patient to accurately describe the intensity, frequency, and sensation of the pain. Based on these factors, and a process of trial and error, a doctor, or even a pain management team, may prescribe pain pills, physical therapy, or one of several forms of psychological treatments. Both cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and acceptance and commitment therapy have shown positive results in patients with chronic pain that is neuropathic in nature.
Chronic pain treatment can cost you thousands of dollars over time–if not more. If you suffer severe chronic pain due to an injury from someone else hurting you, treatment from medical professionals can change your life.

You may need extensive treatment over time, which is expensive.

Complications Related to Chronic Pain
Patients experiencing chronic pain often have other issues caused by, or related to it. Higher than average rates of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders are found in people suffering from chronic pain. It’s important to note that some of these situations are correlated, and it can be difficult to determine which disorder is the primary cause, and which is the side effect.
Because of the fear of triggering or worsening the pain, many sufferers will shy away from physical activity, leading to weight gain. For these reasons, social support is sometimes just as important as medical treatment.
