Pain is the body's way of alerting you that something is wrong. It makes sense then, that when the problem is resolved the pain goes away. In some cases, pain continues even after the problem is resolved. This is called chronic pain and it should not go untreated. Chronic pain reduces one's quality of life and can lead to further health problems if it isn't treated.

Chronic Pain Test              

YES

NO

 
    Have you been hurting longer than 2 months? 
    Does your pain keep you from sleeping? 
    Is your pain poorly controlled by current treatment programs?
    Does your pain make you feel depressed?
    Is your pain making you take time off from work?
    Is your pain interfering in your activities of daily living?

If you checked Yes to more than one of these questions,
you may have chronic pain and should talk to one of our doctors.
