Pain serves a valuable function by alerting the body that something is
functionally or structurally wrong. A simple example is the reflex
response that occurs when you accidentally touch your hand to a hot
stove. Sensors in the skin sense pain. These sensors send signals
along special nerve pathways to the spinal cord, which in turn sends
signals to provoke a reflex that causes you to jerk your hand away
from the heat source, thereby limiting damage to your hand. This is
all done automatically, without thinking.

Pain may be chronic or acute, sharp or dull, throbbing or steady, or
intermittent or constant. Chronic pain is a significant source of
discomfort and lost productivity in today's workplace. Treatment of
chronic pain depends upon any known underlying cause or any other
complicating factors. In general, chronic pain is treated with a
combination of medication and pain management through non-drug
treatments. Drug treatments for mild to moderate pain usually focus on
non-prescription pain relievers such as acetaminophen, aspirin, and
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. These types of
drugs are non-addictive, but can have side effects that range from
upset stomach to kidney and liver damage. Pain and inflammation may
actually change the nervous system. Because of this, pain may linger
long after the physical injury that caused it has healed.

Living with chronic pain can lure you into feeling helpless about your
condition. It can cause emotional problems or physical limitations
that threaten your relationships, hamper your job performance and
limit your activities. Anxiety, depression, anger, hopelessness or
desperation about the pain can make it seem worse. This can, in turn,
alter your personality and disrupt family and work relationships.
Chronic pain can interfere with sleep, leaving you tired and less able
to cope with the pain.

No single pain treatment works for everyone, and it's easy to feel
like giving up if you've tried several treatments that haven't worked.
