Back Pain
Report
Chronic back pain is defined as pain that persists for 12 weeks or longer. The pain can range in intensity from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp sensation that leaves the person incapacitated. Pain can be defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. Pain is subjective. For some patients, back pain is mild.
Cancer Pain
Report
If the pain is from the cancer itself, it can be from the cancer growing into or destroying nearby tissue. As a tumor grows, it can press on nerves, bones or organs. The tumor can also release chemicals that can cause pain. Or your body's reaction to the chemicals can cause pain. Cancer treatments, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, also can cause pain.
Neck Pain
Report
Sometimes the pain is simply caused by a bad pillow and can disappear without treatment. Occasionally neck pain lasts for weeks or months, drastically limits your ability to move your head, and radiates into the shoulders. These could be signs of a more serious medical condition. Acute neck pain can result when neck muscles and ligaments are subjected to quick and unnatural movements in auto accident whiplashes or trauma during sports.
Shoulder Pain
Report
Shoulder pain can make a simple act - brushing your hair, reaching behind your back, or grabbing something overhead - seem like a monumental task. As the shoulder joint is built to rotate in several directions, it is prone to injuries that can trigger pain. It is also one of those joints that are affected by osteoarthritis-a degenerative joint disease.
Hip Pain
Report
The hip is the joint between the thigh bones & pelvis and provides stability and support in your body. As a result, pain in the hip can be excruciating and make movements difficult. Hip pain is relatively common among both kids and adults. Approximately 7.1% of those with chronic pain claim to feel it in their hip, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
