What are the major issues surrounding chronic pain?
Chronic pain can become so intense and overwhelm the body and mind to such a degree that it can affect all aspects of life. Pain often becomes so invasive they often cannot work, their appetite falls off, physical activity of any kind is exhausting and often aggravates the pain, and fatigue is common due not being able to sleep at night. The person then becomes the victim of a vicious cycle in which total preoccupation with pain leads to irritability and depression.
