Chronic Pain - What's in a definition?

We at Windows on Pain have been debating to arrive at the correct definition of 'chronic pain'. This is what we came up with - chronic pain is severe, persistent pain that obstructs and constricts peoples’ lives, often to devastating effect for them and their families.

Did you know that at any time, a staggering 3.2 million Australians of working age have this degree of pain? These are thought-provoking statistics! Although pervasive, persistent pain is a taboo subject shrouded in denial and aversion, and invisibility definitely limits the search for effective treatment. What do you think?

  2. It is very difficult to take the pills, vicodin in this case we are gaining control of our body, we must remain very careful and not fall and hang on to drugs, always remember to look at this couple and for our future. I read findrxonline..com certainly are very addictive and so we need to know control.
