Chronic pain is pain that lasts 3 months or more, although it may come and go.* Chronic pain can affect any part of the body and, in contrast to acute pain, does not simply occur when you get hurt or ill and go away after you heal.
25% of adults in the United States have chronic pain.* However, it can be hard to detect through standard medical testing.
Chronic pain includes aching, burning, pressure, stiffness, throbbing, and shooting pain. It can also cause stress, depression, anxiety, fatigue, mood swings, and trouble sleeping.
The source of chronic pain can include diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, shingles, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), back issues, headaches, orchialgia (testicular pain), sprains, broken bones, and nerve damage.
You can reduce chronic pain by mediating, exercising, getting a massage, eating a healthy and anti-inflammatory diet, reducing alcohol intake, and finding healthy distractions. You can also reduce chronic pain by taking dietary supplements.
