Pain
Pain is something we all experience at various points in life, and it is an important protective mechanism that actually keeps us safe from harm. Some people have pain that lasts a long time, and it can make life harder. About 30-50% of people have this kind of pain, and it can be tough to figure out what’s causing it or how to make it better. Pain can make it hard to go out, do your regular activities, or even just get through the day. Some people feel stuck in a "pain cycle," where the pain keeps affecting them.
But research shows that the more you understand pain and feel in control of it, the better you can handle it and feel better in the long run.
