Pain can be acute or chronic Acute pain usually heals after a while, and the patient does not have any more pain Chronic pain may begin with acute pain e.g. after an injury or accident, or surgery, and even after healing,the pain persists. Some examples are neuropathic pain after brachial plexus injury, post-thoracotomy pain, chronic abdominal pain from adhesions However many types of chronic pain begin insiduously, with no obvious precipitating event, and never goes away. Examples are chronic back pain, chronic neck pain.
