When is back pain considered to be chronic?
|
|
Chronic pain of any type is defined as pain (or discomfort) that has been present for 3 months or longer. The pain does not have to be constant - it can come and go - but if it is there by the same cause for 3 months or more, it will generally fall under the chronic category.
