We all try to avoid getting injured or hurt because it is a pain that we fear. This pain is what causes us hindrance and doesn’t allow us to do our regular activities, which in turn leads to us fearing getting hurt again.
Injury, however, in some form or the other, is inevitable, but in some conditions, it can be due to a medical condition. Whatever the reason, having terrible pain is something we avoid, so it becomes important to find a remedy for it.
Pain Management is an intervention for reducing one’s pain, the benefit of which is a quicker return to one’s normal routine and daily activities.
Before we dive into pain management, let us know more about pain itself.
What is Pain?
Pain can be defined as an uncomfortable sensation that is a nerve signal indicating that something is wrong. Therefore, pain is an indication by the body, signaling you that there is an injury or a wound. Sometimes, there can be pain without any prominent wound or internal injury. This could be because of stress or discomfort.
This neural signal is very discomforting and ranges from mild to just unbearable. The pain can be chilly, throbbing, pinching, or stinging.
It is normal for us humans to experience pain during the course of our lifetime.
Still, when we start experiencing it frequently and in an intensity greater than normal pain, it might be time to consult a medical professional since the pain might be due to an underlying condition.
There are distinctly 2 categories of pain; Acute and Chronic. While acute and sub-acute pain lasts for 3-6 months, chronic pain lasts much longer than that and is an ongoing pain that only goes away once the injury or condition is completely healed.
