Condition guide
Pain that lasts beyond expected healing time and starts affecting mood, sleep, and daily function.
In simple language
Chronic pain is pain that keeps going or keeps returning after the original injury should have healed. The nervous system, stress response, sleep quality, mood, movement patterns, and past experiences can all influence how pain is felt.
Pain is real even when scans do not explain the whole picture, and treatment usually works best when it combines physical, behavioral, and medical strategies.
