Chronic Pain

I am a type of person that can keep complaining all day if I feel any kind of pain in my body. Like in many occasions I just take medication and the pain goes away. But if you have had pain on your body for months or years then it is something that you should worry about. This pain that keeps persisting and does not let you do the things that you were used to doing a few months before is called chronic pain. Chronic pain is a disease that can be made worse by environmental and psychological factors. There is no way to tell how much pain a person might have. The reason is because there is no test that can really measure the intensity of the pain and no device that can locate the pain precisely. The healthcare professionals can tell a person that their muscles or ligaments are already healed by why does pain continue. Well the reason is because there is something happening in the brain and is misinterpreting the sensitivity in our nervous system. I would have tried to give you an explanation about how signals are sent from one location to the brain but I think I would probably just confuse you. Instead, I provided a video from professional. In this video, Elliot Krane provides a detailed explanation about the mystery of chronic pain and reviews the facts about it. Some treatments such as physical therapy might make people feel better. Other sources of relief are taking medications or getting a surgery done might help lessen the pain, but it does not cure it completely.
