Chronic pain is ongoing, persistent pain that lasts more than three months. It can range from mild to severe - and can linger even after the original injury or illness has healed. It doesn't have to be permanent.

Left untreated, it becomes a major, long-standing condition that can persist for years. Pinpointing what's driving those signals is the first step toward lasting relief.
Because the pain lives in the nervous system, it's even possible to experience chronic pain without any injury at all. It shows up alongside a wide range of conditions, including:
