Pain can be described as sharp or dull with a burning sensation in the relevant body parts. It might vary from being steady to fluctuating. The intensity and nature of the pain can vary from one body part to another.

1. CHRONOIC PAIN

2. Introduction
An acute pain is a necessary reaction of the nervous system that
assists in making your body alert to a possible injury. In case of
chronic pain, your body consistently sends pain signals to your
brain. It can persist even after the healing of an injury.
The duration may vary from 12 weeks to years. Chronic pain
usually lowers your mobility and cuts down your flexibility,
strength as well as endurance. Thus, your daily tasks are inhibited.

3. Major causes of chronic pain
• Chronic pain is typically generated by an initial injury. The
injury in this context might be a back strain or sprained
muscle.
• Chronic pain can develop after disruption of or damage to
nerves and their normal function. This kind of nerve inhibition
increases the duration and intensity of the pain.
• In such an advanced stage, treating only the underlying injury
may be not sufficient to resolve the chronic pain.

4. Though rare, people might experience chronic pain without any
history of injury.
The causes of chronic pain in such cases are often obscure and
may require investigation by diagnostic imaging and medical
examination to determine.
