The Neurological and Biochemical Basis for Pain

The Neurological and Biochemical Basis for Pain:
Pain is a reaction by the body to disease or injury. There are two types of pain:* Acute Pain, which usually starts suddenly and escalates in intensity very quickly. Often, this is due to a major injury or a life-threatening condition. This pain usually stays and gets worse until medical intervention, such as surgery or treatment of a severe injury."
* Chronic Pain, which is usually the type that people “live with”. This pain is due to a non-life threatening event such as a residual from an old injury. Pain episodes begin on a regular, sometimes daily basis, and continue until the pain reaches a certain level, which the afflicted individual learns to tolerate over time."

Each person along with their Doctors should make a Informed decision on which pain killer would best take care of an individual needs!
