Are You In Pain?
Acute pain results from an injury, illness, or treatment such as surgery.
Persistent / chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than the expected healing time of an injury or that is associated with a chronic illness.
Pain is a major public health issue for all people.
--Eighty percent of patients present for health care because of pain...
--Forty plus percent of acute care patients report poor pain control...
--Fifty percent of dying patients report moderate-to-severe pain...
--Pain is the number one reason for unscheduled hospital admissions....
These numbers equate to a lot of human suffering. Attitudes and beliefs which can be unhelpful include:
It is more admirable to "suffer in silence"...
Pain is expected or inevitable...
Pain never killed anyone...
"No pain no gain"...
