Q- When is pain considered
chronic??
|
Typically chronic pain is
discomfort that continues long after the body has healed from injury or
illness, often for three months or more. Chronic pain often affects older
adults who suffer from ongoing conditions like arthritis. It can also occur
with no known link to injury or illness simply because the nervous system
malfunctions or the brain fails to produce chemicals that suppress pain.
Chronic pain can occur anywhere in the body and can range from mild
intermittent pain to severe pain that interferes with everyday life. Chronic
pain can be described as: shooting, burning, or aching pain; or persistent
soreness, tightness, or stiffness.

pineapple, which contains bromelain, effective for treating inflammation
• Eat whole, fiber-rich, unprocessed foods, emphasizing magnesium • Eat calcium-rich foods for bone and muscle strength such as leafy greens, almonds, blackberries, broccoli, mustard greens, oatmeal, orange, navy beans, and sunflower seeds • Avoid simple or refined sugars including fruit juices, sodas, and sugary baked goods • Avoid caffeine, salty foods, and alcohol • Limit foods high in saturated fats: red meats, dairy, shellfish, and hydrogenated oils • Drink chlorophyll-rich green drinks • Eat more fatty fish (mackerel, herring, and salmon) |
Q- What lifestyle changes can
assist me in alleviating chronic pain??
|
Chronic pain cannot be eliminated in every case, but there
are many lifestyle choices you can make to prevent or reduce the symptoms of
chronic pain. Seek early treatment of injuries and illness. Eat a healthy
diet, get adequate sleep and pursue regular gentle exercise. Avoid stress as
