CHRONIC PAIN & REP. INJURY
About This Condition
Chronic pain is any pain lasting more than 12 weeks. Unlike acute pain, which is a normal sensation that alerts us to possible injury, chronic pain persists—often for months or even longer.
Symptoms
Chronic pain is generally placed in one of these two categories: Neuropathic pain- a burning sensation or shooting pain. It can occur after nerve injury or damage. Musculoskeletal pain- felt in the muscles, ligaments, joints, or bones. May be described as shooting, aching or a feeling of discomfort, soreness, tightness, stiffness.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of chronic pain often involves a physical examination, medical history and may include pain questionnaires to help practitioners understand the nature of the pain. Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans can sometimes help identify the cause of pain. In some cases, nerve tests may be done to determine whether a nerve is damaged.
Treatment Options
Treating chronic pain can vary significantly from person to person. Treatment often involves a combination of methods, including: Physio Therapy, Psycho Therapy, Acupuncture, Massage, Biofeedback, Chiropractic treatments, Yoga. Surgical treatments: Such as injections, implants or amputation are the absolute last resort. Please research extensively before resorting to such extreme treatments.
