Chronic Pain – Symptoms
Symptoms:
- Pain that does not go away as expected after an illness or injury
- Pain that may be described as shooting, burning, aching, or electrical
- Discomfort, soreness, tightness, or stiffness
Pain can lead to other
problems, such as:
- Fatigue, which can cause impatience and a loss of motivation
- Sleeplessness, often because the pain keeps you awake during the night
- Withdrawal from activity and an increased need to rest
- A weakened immune system, leading to frequent infections
- Depression
- Mood changes, such as hopelessness, fear, irritability, anxiety, and stress
- Disability, which may include not being able to go to work or school or perform other daily activities
