Pain falls into two categories, acute and chronic. Acute pain refers to the immediate pain that occurs in response to an injury or illness, and it disappears when the underlying problem heals.

Your chronic pain may arise from a traumatic injury, surgery, or a variety of underlying conditions. A few of the most common causes are:
