eFit for Individuals & Caregivers: Pain
Pain is a complex, unpleasant physical and emotional feeling. The experience of pain is different for each person and depends on its cause, location, as well as individual memories, attitudes and beliefs associated with the pain. Pain can be acute (sudden) or chronic (long-term) and interrupt a person’s daily routine, making it difficult to focus, sleep and manage stress.
