What Is Chronic Stress-Related Pain?
Chronic stress-related pain is a type of pain caused by long-term exposure to stress. The exact mechanism by which stress causes pain is not fully understood, but it is believed that chronic stress can lead to changes in the nervous system and the way that pain signals are processed in the brain. Chronic pain can occur anywhere in the body and is often felt as a generalized ache or pain.
What Causes Chronic Stress-Related Pain?
The exact cause of chronic stress-related pain is not fully understood. However, several factors are believed to contribute to this condition. First, chronic stress can lead to changes in the nervous system. This change means the brain may become more sensitive to pain signals, leading to increased pain perception. Lastly, chronic stress can affect hormone levels. These changes can make it difficult for the body to repair itself and contribute to inflammation and pain.
Finally, chronic stress can also change how pain signals are processed in the brain. As a result, even minor pains may feel intense when you suffer from chronic stress-related pain.
