Chronic Pain is pain that lasts in one area for more than 6months. You probably should have started this dialogue earlier. Are you on any meds for the pain? Have you done Pt or accupuncture, or wather therapy? Do you remember what started it? I hope you find some relief. I know from my own experience, becuase pain isen't measurable in that testable, its considered subjective. I have been told that some people can indure pain better than others. In my lowly opinion I'm in the middle. I knw my pain just touching my hand or neck or back, its there and its there always.
