The trouble with chronic pain
When pain signals remain active in the nervous system for longer than six months and persists after the initial injury has healed, then it is referred to as chronic pain. There is another layer when experiencing chronic pain known as central sensitization. This is an increased responsiveness of the nervous system that results in hypersensitivity and an increased pain response outside the area of injury. Pain itself can produce systematic and chemical brain changes resulting in more pain from fewer stimuli.
