Chronic pain brings harm to people's body and mind, and reduces the quality of life. More importantly, people's "suffering" is the biggest misunderstanding, which is likely to bring serious consequences. Today, I will introduce to you some of the most painful pains that cannot be ignored.

chronic headache
Treatment is required for one month

For the sudden severe headache, everyone felt unbearable and immediately went to the hospital for examination. However, for chronic headaches, many people dismiss it as a minor problem. There are also many patients who have no abnormality after X-ray, CT, and even magnetic resonance examinations, so they ignore it.

Actually, this is very wrong. Chronic headaches lasting more than a month must be treated aggressively. Chronic headaches will not only affect the quality of life, causing upset, insomnia, etc., but also reduce the body's resistance, reduce the body's reactivity and emergency capacity, and even affect the function of the human body's multi-system organs.

Neck and shoulder stiffness

Severe cases can be life-threatening

Stiffness or pain in the neck and shoulders is usually caused by keeping the neck and shoulders in the same position for a long time without paying attention to activities.

Nowadays, people tend to sit in front of the computer for a day and lack activities. Usually, many people keep their mobile phones in their hands every day and always look down at their mobile phones. These people often have stiff necks and shoulders. Long-term bad habits may cause the cervical vertebrae to gradually age and degenerate. .

In addition, it should be noted that neck and shoulder pain may not only be a problem of the cervical spine, but the nerve reflex area of the heart may also be projected to the neck and shoulder. Therefore, cervical pain should also be actively checked, and must not be careless, to prevent life-threatening neglect.

herpes zoster neuralgia

Chronic illness can lead to depression

Had shingles for a month and still had pain left behind called postherpetic neuralgia.

This kind of pain has various manifestations, but most of them are spontaneous pain or induced pain. There are often acupuncture, knife cuts, burning, insect bites, slight touch, wind, clothing or slight changes in temperature may induce pain, Pain makes people feel "life is better than death".

With aggressive treatment, most postherpetic neuralgia will gradually improve. However, if you don't pay attention, wait for the pain to disappear, and wait for the vicious cycle of herpes zoster pain to involve and erode the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord and even the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, which may leave very stubborn and severe neuralgia, resulting in serious consequences.

Long-term severe pain can lead to mental-psychological diseases such as depression and mania, and make patients gradually enter a vicious circle of "pain-self-stress and loss of life ability-pain aggravation".

chronic low back pain

incapacitated by ignoring

The most common cause of chronic low back pain is lumbar muscle strain. Lumbar muscle strain is a chronic lumbar strain, and it is also a well-known type of waist. It is mainly caused by two reasons. One is that after acute lumbar sprain, it cannot be treated in a timely and reasonable manner, thus forming a chronic lumbar muscle trauma scar. And adhesion formation, weakening the strength of the psoas muscle, resulting in low back pain.

Another reason is the accumulation of long-term and cumulative waist micro trauma, such as some clock workers and typists who work in a sitting position for a long time and work in a fixed position for a long time. In addition, some workers who need to bend over, if they usually do not pay attention to their posture and strengthen the exercise of the lumbar back muscles, may have accumulated damage to the waist, resulting in lumbar muscle strain.

Long-term low back pain will eventually lead to dysfunction of the spinal stabilization system, accelerated spinal deformation, and may develop into irreversible severe entrapment of nerves in the later stage, resulting in unbearable low back pain and radiating pain in the lower limbs. Severe cases can affect the function of bowel and bladder, and even lose part or all of the ability to move.

diabetic peripheral neuralgia

Amputation possible

Diabetic patients experience numbness in their hands and feet, like wearing a hand (sock) cover, or a needle-like feeling. When encountering this pain, it may be caused by diabetes complicated by peripheral nerve damage.

When this kind of neuralgia occurs, if enough attention is paid, the blood sugar level is closely monitored, and the treatment is active, it is possible to control its progress or even gradually relieve the condition.

However, if enough attention is not paid to it and it is allowed to develop, the neuropathy will be further aggravated and worsened in the later stage, and neuropathic pain will appear, which means that the patient’s protective sensory function is abnormal, and in severe cases, there will be sensory loss, despair and a sense of powerlessness. It can even lead to depression, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is known to be one of the major risk factors for foot ulceration in diabetic patients.
