What causes chronic pain?
​
Most of the time, chronic pain begins with an injury or illness. Most pains subside as the body heals, but for some people the pain persists or even gets worse. Research indicates that chronic pain is often due to nerve damage. In other cases, your chronic pain may emerge without any injury. Some of the underlying health conditions that cause chronic pain include:
​
-
Chronic fatigue syndrome
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Endometriosis
-
Inflammatory bowel disease
-
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
