Hit your thumb with a hammer. There, now you have a perfect example of acute pain, a temporary, intensely uncomfortable feeling that will probably fade once the tissue heals and swelling subsides. Chronic pain, on the other hand, does not simply fade away but is persistent, lasting for months and longer for some people.
Chronic pain greatly affects a persons life and is debilitating in severe case and itaffects nearly 80 million Americans. Thats more than those who suffer with diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, combined. Chronic pain is a condition that is often misunderstood. There was no obvious hammer but the pain is real and is fiercely persistent.....
