AB  - Chronic  pain  is  variously  defined  as  (1)  pain  lasting  more  than  3  months,  (2)  pain  lasting  more  than  6  months,  and  (3)  pain  lasting  beyond  the  period  of  expected  healing  or  persisting  in  the  absence  of  injury.  Chronic  pain  is  distinguished  from  acute  pain  in  a  number  of  ways.  Most  concretely,  it  lasts  longer.  In  many  cases,  though,  what  is  genuinely  unique  about  chronic  pain  is  that  it  seems  to  persist  even  when  a  physical  insult  is  not  occurring,  or  it  is  out  of  proportion  to  the  physical  damage  that  has  occurred.
