It’s funny explaining to people how my constant droning 5 pain is worse than the sudden 7 I get from moving the wrong way. My 5 is a lot higher than they’d think, and persistent pain with no release is far more maddening than sudden electrical shocks from time to time.
Persistent pain is debilitating. Most senses can be adapted to - your brain stops listening to it. Smells, touch, hot, cold, sounds, lights - all these senses can be adapted to and you stop noticing them after a few minutes.
Pain cannot be ignored. Your brain will never stop listening to it. It's why it's so important for people who suffer from chronic pain to be referred to pain management to have someone who can treat it specifically.
