Depression and isolation are two things to look out for as a fraction believe they should accept a life dominated by the misery and pain. However, this is the furthest option to pick, and limiting or eliminating chronic pain can be done.

Chronic Pain is not “Imagination”

It is crazy to think how there are still people who discredit and do not believe people who say they are in pain when it is chronic. Others may be more receptive to believing the pain is real, but perceive that the person, in the least, is exaggerating their pain. Comments like “it is probably not that bad” or “get over it” are nothing more than discouraging. Pain is not always a visible wound that someone can see, nor does it always come with a diagnosis or reason behind it.  Long-term pain can lead to a decrease in physical activity and cause what is known as disuse syndrome. A person’s psychological, neurological, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems can become impaired, and can increase the chances of chronic pain worsening in the future. Not getting enough sleep is another problem that may occur, and can leave one feeling incapacitated.
