Pain

All of us experience pain sometime in our lives. Pain can last a few days, months or even years.

Prolonged and unrelenting pain can really interfere with our lives, making it hard to work, exercise or socialise.

Many resort to drugs for pain relief but this can lead into addition problems that are more serious than the original pain.

Pain may arise from any number of situations. Injury being a major cause, institutional strain and pain may also manifest from a period of illness, it may accompany a psychological condition (such as depression) or even occurring the absence of a recognisable trigger.

TYPES OF PAIN

Pain can be defined as two major categories:

Acute Pain - Is usually where you suffer an injury through activity, say through a sports activity or hobby e.g:

pulled hamstring
sprained/twisted ankle
back or neck strain when gardening

The brain immediately sends a direct warning by creating muscle spasm or discomfort of some kind that tells you to stop that particular activity. Also acute post surgery pain that aggravates but does subside during the healing process. Chronic Pain: Is where the pain persists over a long period of time e.g. persistent aggravating dull back, neck or shoulder ache that has been dragging on for months.
