Frequently Asked Questions
About Chronic Pain
What is chronic pain, and how is it different from acute pain?
Chronic pain lasts 3 months or more, while acute pain is short-term and usually tied to an injury or illness.
What causes chronic pain?
It can be caused by injury, nerve damage, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or sometimes with no clear cause.
Why isn’t my chronic pain going away, even after treatment?
Common reasons include nerve damage, central sensitization, underlying conditions, or ineffective treatments.
How is chronic pain diagnosed?
Through medical history, physical exams, imaging (MRI, X-rays), nerve tests, and sometimes bloodwork. It’s often a diagnosis of exclusion.
What treatments are available for chronic pain?
Options include:
Medications (NSAIDs, nerve meds, antidepressants)
Physical Therapy
Injections or nerve blocks
Surgery (in specific cases)
Lifestyle changes, alternative therapies, and CBT
Can chronic pain affect my mental health?
Yes. It’s closely linked to depression, anxiety, and stress, and can even change how the brain processes emotions and pain.
Is there a cure for chronic pain?
There often isn’t a complete “cure,” but many people find relief and better management with the right mix of treatments.
What’s the best way to explain chronic pain to family and friend
Use simple analogies (like “my nerves are stuck on high alert”) and emphasize that it’s real, even if it’s invisible.
Can diet or lifestyle changes help with chronic pain?
Yes! Anti-inflammatory diets, regular gentle movement, better sleep, and stress reduction can make a big difference.
Should I see a pain specialist?
If your pain isn’t improving or is affecting daily life, yes. Pain specialists offer advanced treatments and a broader view of pain management.
