Living With Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is typically defined as pain lasting longer than three months. It may arise from injury, illness, nerve damage, or have no clear cause. Over time, pain can become a condition in its own right.
Treatment often includes painkillers, antidepressants, physiotherapy, and psychological support. Many people find these approaches only partially effective or difficult to sustain long term.
Persistent pain can lead to fatigue, low mood, and reduced quality of life, making personalised care essential.
