| Medical Tourism Abroad: Chronic Pain Management Abroad

Although everyone experiences pain from time to time, it usually goes away and most people are able to return to normal pain-free activities. However, chronic pain persists. By definition, pain that lasts for more than 12 weeks is considered chronic pain. Chronic pain can have a negative impact on quality of life. It can cause discomfort and irritation, interfere with your ability to perform activities of daily living, and in some cases, can be disabling. Chronic pain is also one of the most common problems affecting people around the world.

Chronic pain can remain difficult for doctors and frustrating for patients, long after the affected tissue has healed, leaving no clear cause for the pain. Or, an ongoing disease may be the underlying cause and the chronic pain condition needs to be managed alongside the underlying disease. The subjective nature of pain further complicates the diagnosis and management of chronic pain. Two people with roughly the same amount of inflammation and tissue damage can report significantly different levels of pain. While doctors have many ways to measure inflammation and tissue damage, there is currently no device that can objectively measure pain.

Pain can be acute at times, but many people suffer from chronic pain. Once chronic pain occurs, it rarely goes away completely and usually needs to be managed. However, with proper pain management, you can effectively reduce your chronic pain levels and improve your ability to function so that you can lead a comfortable, independent and relatively productive life.
