The Pain Problem
Does pain, whether acute or chronic, serve a greater purpose? And what are the added risks for those with an addiction background?
Pain isn't just physical, it's also mental and emotional, and every culture and society approaches pain and addiction differently. Unfortunately, in the U.S. we believe all pain can be stamped out with medication and surgery. We rarely look at the mental and emotional aspects and the role they can play in dealing with pain.
Acute Pain
There are different kinds of pain. Acute pain is a short or severe physical pain that is overwhelming while it lasts. While this short, severe pain is physically debilitating, once it passes it doesn't really leave any long-term effects.
Chronic Pain
Conversely, chronic pain is a long, continuous pain that has noticeable effects. It usually affects everyone in the home as the pain can alter the personality of the person experiencing it.
Whatever the type, some speculate that pain has a purpose in our lives and holds lessons we need to learn. The noted British author C.S. Lewis, best known for "The Chronicles of Narnia" fiction series, explored this in his book The Problem of Pain. He sees a spiritual purpose, saying "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world."
Pain Management
Despite the lessons it can teach, most of us are eager to get our pain diagnosed and treated. Pain management is particularly important for those battling a drug addiction or in recovery. You doctor can focus on medications that aren't addictive and can use a holistic approach that includes natural treatment methods as well, looking at everything from diet and nutrition supplements to stress and life risk factors.
