The Question of Can Chronic Pain Cause Sweating?How Can Chronic Pain Cause Sweating? Most people have experienced at least one episode of chronic pain in their lifetime. This can include anything from having a child, to a fracture healing, to receiving treatment for an injury. Chronic pain persists for at least three months, and for some people, it originates in an episode of acute pain, and then grows to be more serious. Most often chronic pain will be musculoskeletal, meaning that it comes as pain in the back, knees, neck, limbs and joints, and headache, nerve injuries, surgical and postoperative pain, and traumatic injury are also common. There are also those people who suffer chronic pain with no evident past injury or body damage at all and in all of these cases, the symptoms are less apparent than are those of acute pain because over time the autonomic nervous system actually learns to adapt to the pain. Chronic pain can cause sweating for a number of different reasons, with the most major being because it is the body's response to the pain, and so it is basically then just a sign that your body is going through pain and is reacting to it. It has been estimated that about 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, and for some reason women are considered as being more likely to suffer from this sort of pain than men are. Chronic pain can cause sweating because feeling continual pain can cause the body to change dramatically, as some people can no longer work, while others lose their appetite or begin to overeat. Many people start to have difficulties sleeping, and the resulting exhaustion from this often leads to feelings of irritability and depression. Treatment There are actually various different forms of treatment available for chronic pain, the most common being opiods medications, which provide short, intermediate and long lasting analgesia depending upon the specific properties of the medication; anti-inflammatory drugs, which may be administered as a single medication or in combination with other analgesics; and antidepressants, which are used in chronic pain management, acting primarily within the pain pathways of the central nervous system. |
