When
chronic pain has been present for many years, it may spread
and become more severe. Often there is difficulty obtaining
a diagnosis due to the spread of pain beyond the initial
site of injury. Labels such as headache, migraine, chronic
pain syndrome, fibromyalgia or mechanical back pain are
given that do not show the cause of symptoms. Pain releases
stress chemicals (Adrenaline and cortisol) leading to stress,
insomnia, anxiety, depression and irritability, further
clouding the pain source. The solution lies in finding the
source of your pain and suffering.
