Pain can be difficult to live with and impacts how you feel, physically and emotionally. Everyone has different ways of dealing with their pain, and how much pain an individual can tolerate varies greatly from person to person. Pain can lessen your ability to care for yourself, to work, or maintain relationships. If you are in pain, it is important for you to discuss it with your health care provider.
