| Back and leg pain, sciatica pain in the leg, arthritis, recurrent
headache, CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), refractory angina pectoris
and peripheral vascular disease are common benign causes
of chronic pain. Cancer can also cause chronic pain. If you suffer from
chronic or cancer pain and feel that your current treatment is not effectively
controlling your pain, it is important for you to talk to your doctor.
The
choice of treatment depends on the type
of pain, how
severe it is, and how you respond to your current pain therapy. A multidisciplinary
approach to chronic and cancer pain, as proposed in specialized pain
clinics across Europe, may help you cope with your pain.
