Being aware of the lifestyle factors that influence your pain may help to change how we approach our pain treatments.
Among the 9 other Lifestyle factors we are talking about to day there is Co-Morbidity
If you suffer from other chronic conditions, such as coronary heart disease, or obstructive pulmonary disease, you are more likely to report chronic pain than the general population.
One suggested mechanism is the added challenges for people with chronic pain to exercise, increasing their cardiovascular risk.
Other consideration are chronic conditions turning up the volume and making pain more intense in an already challenged body, and the influence of stress and disability from other diseases.
Chronic pain cannot be treated in isolation; the whole person with any other illnesses needs to be considered.
