Rather than understanding pain as purely physical or psychological, it is often more useful to recognise symptoms as being both physical and psychological. The feeling of pain coincides with changes in every part of the body and in a distributed pattern in parts of the brain. While short-term pain typically heals, chronic pain lasts longer than three months, hurts most of the time and gets in the way of things daily activities. The protective pain response begins when the body experiences some physical threat, such as a cut, burn, or inflamed muscle. This threat is detected by specialized nerves in the skin, muscles, joints, and organs that listen for signs that the body is in danger. The degree to which pain interferes with the quality of a person’s life is highly personal. Persistent pain is very different from the kind of pain you experience when you touch something hot or injure yourself. It goes on long after the original cause, and affects different parts of the brain and nervous system. Sensations can resemble the original injury or damage, so it feels as though the damage has not healed, when it actually has.

Living with pain can take its toll emotionally for many reasons. The impact pain can have on your life can lead to deteriorating mental health, contributing to depression and anxiety. People in pain may well be depressed by their struggle and need treatment for their depression. However, the medicine used against depression have an action against pain that is completely separate from their action in depression. Persistent or chronic pain (long-lasting pain that goes on for more than three months, or past normal tissue healing time) will usually involve the pain system becoming overprotective. This means that you can have pain even when your tissues are actually safe. Acute pain is short lived, and often related to an injury or damage to the body. If I break my arm, the nerves nearby send pain signals to my brain. I get a clear message that something is wrong, and stop moving my arm straight away. The aim of treatments such as Prolotherapy is to offer relief and then to enable people to return to previous activity levels

If you’re reading this, you likely already know that there is a large — but largely silent — problem of chronic pain in the country. Heel pain is usually felt as an intense pain when using the affected heel. Most cases of heel pain are caused when a band of tissue that stretches from your heel to the middle bones of your foot, known as the plantar fascia, becomes damage and thickened. Mindfulness is about the kind of awareness that you bring to a situation. It means being in control of what you pay attention to, and for how long. It can be a helpful way of managing distress and many people have learnt to manage their pain more successfully using it. To help handle persistent pain, accept that your pain may not go away and that flare-ups may occur. Talk yourself through these times. If you’re healthy, don’t wait until you’re injured or in pain to start taking care of your body. The time is now. Pharmacology is the basis for pain treatment in people of old age, which should be used in the least invasive way, starting with small dosages. Some pain treatment options include injecting medications into painful areas of the body, injecting medications around certain nerves, surgically inserting electrical devices or medication pumps into the spinal canal, or surgically cutting nerves. Biofeeback is a technique that can help you learn to control pain. You are able to monitor changes in your body such as pain and muscle tension when you receive information through sensors attached to your skin. It is a tool that can be used to help control pain and tension over time. Instead of learning to release fear, tension, and pain, we develop the habit of distracting ourselves from them, to keep us from feeling the discomfort we carry. Seeing a doctor is not always necessary for some types of chronic pain. However, some people may need some extra help in addition to what they can do on their own. Central pain syndrome is marked by chronic pain that stems from damage to the central nervous system. The damage can be caused by stroke, MS, tumors, and several other conditions. The pain, which is typically constant and may be severe, can affect a large part of the body or be confined to smaller areas such as the hands or feet. Chronic pain can be overwhelming and frustrating. You and your doctor can work together to improve your daily life and manage your pain. There are many hopeful solutions. A stress response to pain might temporarily take your mind off your pain, more often than not, it's as though the pain goes on hold, only to return more intensely after the stress has passed. Nearly half of the UK population - around 28 million adults - lives with some form of chronic pain. With chronic pain described as 'a major cause of disability and distress', what exactly is causing so many people to live in constant pain, and how does it impact on their everyday lives?
