Among the most debilitating of maladies, chronic pain can have an insidious and far-reaching effect on all aspects of life. From activities of daily living to focus and productivity, it's no surprise that those suffering from chronic pain can often feel overwhelmed and exhausted by seemingly small tasks.
On a physical level, one issue that people with chronic pain face is the need to alter their activities in order to accommodate pain levels; this may include anything from adjusting how they hold a phone conversation, to making modifications in their home in order to facilitate easier movement.
Additionally, increased fatigue and difficulty sleeping can contribute greatly to issues with focus and concentration - both elements essential for keeping up with work or school obligations. All these added stressors can combine to make chronic pain sufferers feel as though they are running uphill in quicksand.
However, even though it presents numerous challenges on a daily basis, there are many ways that people who experience chronic pain can take back control of their lives and remain productive despite their condition.
With adequate rest and appropriate support from family or other resources, it is possible to make adjustments and undertake necessary measures so that one's quality of life remains intact regardless of the presence of chronic pain.
