What is Chronic Pain?

Acute pain or chronic pan is the body's alarm system.

·	Pain signals that something is wrong.

·	Pain signals that you are in danger of injury or that the injured part needs to be protected and rested.

Chronic pain serves no useful purpose and may cause disability and distress to sufferers and their families. Estimates of the number of people with chronic pain vary from 8% to 45% depending on severity and whether medical help is sought. Chronic pain is more common in women and in the elderly. Many types of chronic pain have been identified. However some people with chronic pain do not have a diagnosis from their doctor. The Pain Relief Foundation funds research into the causes and treatment of chronic pain.

While acute pain is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself, chronic pain is different. Chronic pain persists. Pain signals keep firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, even years. There may have been an initial mishap -- sprained back, serious infection, or there may be an ongoing cause of pain -- arthritis, cancer, ear infection, but some people suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of body damage. Many chronic pain conditions affect older adults. Common chronic pain complaints include headache, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, neurogenic pain (pain resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves or to the central nervous system itself), psychogenic pain (pain not due to past disease or injury or any visible sign of damage inside or outside the nervous system).

Is there any treatment for pain?

Medications, acupuncture, local electrical stimulation, and brain stimulation, as well as surgery, are some treatments for chronic pain. Some physicians use placebos, which in some cases has resulted in a lessening or elimination of pain. Psychotherapy, relaxation and medication therapies, biofeedback, and behavior modification may also be employed to treat chronic pain.

Arthritis : Very common. It is a major cause of lost work time and can cause serious disability. There is more than one type of arthritis with osteoarthritis being the most common form. This condition is due to wear and tear in the joints and is more common in people over 50. It is very painful in the weight-bearing joints such as the knees and hips. Cartilage wears away on the bone ends causing pain and swelling. Osteoarthritis may develop after an injury such as bone fracture or a joint dislocation. Rheumatoid arthritis is due to inflammation or swelling of the joint lining which damages the joint. It can occur at any age and in more than one joint. This is caused by underlying rheumatic disease and is common in the hands and feet.Diagnosis is by physical examination ann X-rays. Treatment may include rest and drugs to reduce inflammation, such as ibuprofen. Rheumatoid arthritis may be treated with steroid injections or other specific drugs to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Back pain : Very common. Most people will at some point in their lives suffer from back pain. Back pain is responsible for many millions of lost working days every year in the UK. Acute back pain usually lasts a few weeks and is often eased by pain killers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol from the chemist. People recover more quickly if they keep active and avoid bed rest. Only one in 100 people with low back pain have a serious disease. Your doctor will be able to decide if you might have a serious problem by interviewing and examining you. At most, only one in 50 people will need an x-ray or scan.

Headache : one of the most common pains and affects most people at some time. However, people often do not consult a doctor about headaches. A headache can be a symptom of an illness, such as sinus disease, eye disorders, or infections. Some people may be concerned that a headache is caused by a brain tumour, but it is extremely rare for headache to be the only symptom of a brain tumour. Headache can also be a condition in itself:

Migraine : 10% of people suffer from migraine. It is a condition of the nervous system, characterised by recurring headaches, which affect one side of the head only. There may be other symptoms, such as sickness, vomiting, light sensitivity or visual disturbances. Common painkillers, such as ibuprofen, paracetamol and aspirin can help. Triptans, e.g. Imigran® can be effective for more severe migraines. There are drugs available which can reduce the frequency of attacks.

Tension Type Headaches : 80% of all headaches are mild, infrequent tension-type headache. The pain is a dull ache on both sides of the head. These headaches can be associated with tenderness or tension in the muscles of the head, neck, jaw and shoulders. If the headaches are frequent and severe, the condition can be very distressing. In chronic tension-type headache, sufferers have a constant almost daily headache.

Neck pain : A common condition. It may develop after sitting in a draught or following a minor twisting injury. This pain is usually muscular and goes in a few days. Chronic neck pain is common and affects about 10% of the population . The pain is associated with stiffness in the neck, which may spread to the shoulders. The pain may spread down the arm. There may also be numbness and tingling in the arm. The pain may spread to the head. Normal painkillers, massage and exercises usually help.

Shingles : A a painful disease. It starts with a painful and very tender rash with blisters. A quarter of cases occur in the face. It is more common in the elderly and in people whose resistance is low because of illness or stress. It is caused by the chickenpox virus, which remains dormant int he body after the chickenpox infection. Chickenpox usually occurs in childhood. Children can catch chickenpox from an adult with shingles, but you cannot catch shingles from someone with chickenpox. Shingles can be treated with antiviral medicaion provided it is given within 3 days of the rash appearing. Shingles, though very unpleasant, lasts only a few weeks. However, there is a chance, especially in the elderly, of developing a chronic nerve pain known as postherpetic neuralgia. This is treatable with drugs.

Shoulder pain : Most shoulder pain is due to problems with muscles, ligaments and tendons. Pain may be caused by arthritis, tendonitis or bursitis, or injury or instability. Treatment may include rest, physiotherapy, medicines such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, injection or surgery.

Trigeminal neuralgia : An agonising shooting pain, which starts on one side of the face for no reason. It is more common in the elderly but it can start at any age. Attacks can last for a few seconds to a few minutes, and can occur at any time. Often everyday things can trigger an attack such as touching the face, chewing and eating or even a breeze blowing on the face. There can be long periods between attacks. TGN may be treated successfully with drugs in many cases. There are also surgical treatments available.Many cases of TGN are caused by a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve inside the skull. In these cases relieving this pressure on the nerve by surgery can often, but not always, relieve the pain for long periods of time. The Pain Research Institute has been at the forefront of research into the use of this technique.
