Health Tip: Deal With Chronic Pain
By LadyLively on January 21, 2014
Chronic pain, if it isn’t controlled, can perpetuate itself and contribute to additional physical and mental problems.
The Ohio State University Medical Center explains:
- A “terrible triad” of sleeplessness and sadness stemming from chronic pain can trigger additional problems, such as dependence on drugs, multiple surgeries and pursuing non-standard treatments of questionable safety.
- Depression, anxiety and irritability may lead to a preoccupation with pain.
- Pain can interfere with daily life and everyday activities.
