Philadelphia Chronic Pain Attorney
Pain is a sensory perception that occurs when people suffer bodily damage or in the anticipation of tissue damage. It serves to warn someone of the potential consequences of an action, acting as a signal that something is wrong and that you should stop what you are doing or seek help.
Pain is typically grouped into two categories:
- Acute pain is the type that most people are familiar with, occurring when you cut your finger, burn your hand, get hit on the side, or suffer any other kind of injury. It is typically sudden and can range in sensation from mild to severe, but typically goes away once the body has healed or the source of injury has been removed.
- Chronic pain, however, stays after the body has healed, and may be constant, persistent pain that is always active, or it may be pain that simply continues to persist.

Chronic Pain from Spinal Cord Injuries
Although acute pain is a relatively common occurrence after a spinal cord injury, if the cord itself is damaged, chronic pain may result. One of the major problems with chronic pain is that it is invisible and intangible; you cannot simply hold it in your hand. As a result, it is difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat. However, it is treatable, and if you are suffering from chronic pain after a spinal cord injury you should contact a medical doctor.
