What causes chronic pain?

In order for pain to be considered chronic, you must experience the inflammation for atleast 12 weeks. An astounding 1.5 billion people suffer from chronic pain worldwide. It can be consistent or intermittent, giving no warning or apparent reason. So, what causes this often intense bodily reaction?

Pain is a part of the human experience. It is something we learn from as children and despise as adults. Chronic pain is often the result of an injury. You may have a broken bone, back injury, or pulled muscle causing damage to the surrounding nerves. This said nerve damage can cause pain to be long lasting and more intense.

Unfortunately, as we all know, pain is more complicated than just a simple injury. Sometimes, trauma is not the cause at all.

Chronic pain not resulting from injury:

chronic fatigue syndrome: characterized by extreme, prolonged weariness that’s often accompanied by pain
endometriosis: a disorder causing debilitating pain due to uterine lining growth outside of the uterus
interstitial cystitis: a chronic disorder marked by bladder pressure and pain
vulvodynia: a chronic vulva pain with no obvious cause
fibromyalgia: widespread pain in the bones and muscles
inflammatory bowel disease: a group of disorders related to chronic inflammation in the digestive tract
temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ): a condition that causes painful clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
