Many people suffer occasional aches and pains. But if your pain lasts for more than three months and becomes intolerable, you may be one of millions of Americans who suffer from chronic pain. This disorder not only causes physical distress, but it also can result in mental and emotional problems such as depression and anxiety.
Chronic pain can affect your entire life, causing isolation and inactivity.
