The Spanish Society of Pain (SED) estimates that between 40 and 80% of primary care medical consultations are related to chronic pain, that pain of bones and joints throughout the body that persists over time. The average duration of chronic pain is about nine years and around 35% of patients who live with pain suffer throughout their lives.

Osteoarticular pains caused by osteoarthritis, lumbago or some trauma are the most frequent, but no part of the body is safe, as it can appear in the back as well as in the pelvic area or knee, among others.

Unlike other types of pain, chronic pain does not disappear when the cause that causes it ceases, the nerves "learn" the pain over time and become hypersensitive, affecting the emotional, family and work of patients. In fact, chronic pain is the main cause of workers losing an average of 17 working days in our country. And this is because people who suffer from some type of chronic pain in bones and joints often feel that they can not do the same things as before, developing at the same time a feeling of helplessness and irritation.

Any task however small can be a real challenge for someone who has to live with intense and lasting pain, even when the pain is not related to that activity.

The consequences of chronic pain
We seldom stop to think about the effects that pain has on people and from AvanFarma we believe that this is a good time to do it. Our own experience tells us that pain often results in fatigue, fatigue and apathy. This lack of interest in doing things is quite common among patients with chronic pain, as well as changes in mood, the feeling of sadness or despair.

As we have just seen, not only does it create discomfort in the patient, limiting his daily life, but it can also cause great concern in his environment.

In these cases it is important to make them understand that they do not have to live with that pain of bone and joints in the whole body, but that they can treat it.
