Lizabeth Light, BSN, Isadora Rosenbaum, MA, Eugenie Marek, RN and Ernest Rosenbaum, MD -
Chronic or Acute Pain is a very complex event in the body. It is caused by a mixture of emotional and physical factors - often made worse by tiredness. Patients with severe pain may be able to be comfortable because they have worked out a good schedule for their medications and either handle it themselves or have a dependable person who can administer them.
