Understanding the different types of pain can help you better explain to your doctor what you are experiencing. The most important signaling mechanism for imminent harm is the pain system, and it is unsurprising that the quintessential aversive nature of pain serves as a metaphor for non-nociceptive ill feelings. This speaks to the core phenomenological status of pain as providing the most potent signal of imminent harm. Some people with chronic pain find benefits in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). These involve treatments that are not part of mainstream medical care. Acupuncture and massage are examples of these treatments. Talk to your doctor before trying any CAM procedures. Your knee is the largest joint in your body, and it takes a massive force every step you take. As in all joints, the bones are coated in a layer of slippery cartilage which enables smooth, friction-free movement. If it’s torn or worn, it can leave the rough bone surfaces exposed – resulting in friction in the joint. The feeling of pain coincides with changes in every part of the body and in a distributed pattern in parts of the brain. Prolotherapy, short for proliferation therapy or regenerative injection therapy, is a type of injection designed to promote natural healing of a ligament or tendon. The goal is to strengthen weakened connective tissue and improve musculoskeletal pain.

People with chronic pain conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system are among the most affected by disability in our community. Musculoskeletal pain is related to conditions affecting the muscles, bones and/or joints, which are also known as musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. They are often but not always related to injury or old age. Pain is the most common reason for surgery on the back or neck, but pain alone is an insufficient reason to perform surgery. Dealing with intractable pain often means trying a variety of treatments to find relief. If one approach doesn’t help, you’ll need to work with your primary care doctor or find a doctor with expertise in chronic pain management who may have a better solution. Patients with chronic pain and doctors that treat chronic pain, use a term called "break-through pain." What is break-through pain? People experiencing persistent pain have had it alleviated with a [Prolotherapy](https://prohealthclinic.co.uk/treatments/prolotherapy) treatment.

## What Else Can I Do To Help Control My Pain?

The entire subject of pain encompasses one of the last taboos. It is not a topic of easy conversation. Better to speak of something else that offers a chance of control. Chronic pain is an invisible disability. For many people, if they can’t see it, “it doesn’t exist.” Only you know what your experience of pain is. For this reason, it is important that you take control of your situation. Nonspecific backache is the fifth most common reason patients visit doctors. Included in this diagnosis are muscle spasms, sprains, strains, sacroiliac joint pain, and backache caused by nonneurological conditions, stress, and other emotional problems. If you feel a dull, manageable ache in the area of your lower back, you probably have musculoskeletal pain. Upper limb pain is a major health issue in the Western world. At any point in time it is estimated that 9%–26% of the adult population experiences such pain. The purpose of pain is to protect you. Once you understand that it’s protecting you against damage that may never happen, you can start to move outside your comfort zone – and make it go away. Sprains and strains are the most common type of sports injury. The difference between a strain and a sprain is that a sprain happens when one or more of the ligaments are stretched, twisted or torn and a muscle strain ("pulling a muscle") happens when muscle tissues or fibres are stretched or torn. Due frequent cognitive disorders and depression, the measurement of pain in the elderly is difficult, it thus requires vast experience. To assess the pain intensity, subjective scales are used. Prolotherapy is used to treat ligaments that have become loosened or stretched from over use or injury or as a result of a physical condition such as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

Ligaments provide stability to joints and if they become loose the joint can become unstable and painful. Some people with chronic pain conditions manage by withdrawing from life. They may stop doing their favorite activities, stay in bed, and socialize less. The pain becomes the center of their existence. Other people with the same condition and symptoms somehow manage to get on with life. Uncertainty about the cause of some pain can make it difficult to effectively treat. The public display of pain has the purpose of informing others of the patient's needs whereas the private suffering assesses the meaning and consequences of the patient's own miserable state. It’s possible to have several causes of pain overlap. You could have two different diseases, for example. Or you could have something like migraines and psychogenic pain together. Herbs, essential oils, and other natural remedies offer the hope and help you may need to alleviate your painful condition and start living life to its fullest.
