It is already considered as chronic if the pain will not disappear even after the illness or injury. Likewise, if you describe the pain as aching, shooting, electrical or burning. It may also be a chronic pain if there are discomfort, stiffness, sore or tightness. If you are experiencing all of these pains, it could lead to a more serious problem like fatigue that may lead also to losing your motivation thus increasing your need to rest and lessen your patience. Chronic pain may result also to sleeplessness since sleeping would be impossible because of the pain. Then, lack of sleep could weaken the immune system.
