Chronic Pain Disability Claims Attorneys Representing Policyholders Nationwide
At Disability Insurance Law Group, our Florida and Nationwide attorneys know chronic pain last months or years and happens in all parts of the body. Technically, the pain must last longer than three months to be considered “chronic” and cannot be cured, but treated with a combination of medications, therapies, and lifestyle changes.
Chronic pain is a common condition and a general reason individuals seek medical care. It is estimated that 25% of adults in the United States experience chronic pain, which can happen anywhere in the body, and can either exist all the time or come and go.
Chronic pain is invasive and can interfere with a person’s daily activities, including their ability to work, or take care of themselves or others. Because of its far-reaching consequences, chronic pain can subsequently lead to depression, anxiety, and trouble sleeping, which make the pain worse.

Common symptoms of chronic pain may include, but are not limited to:
- Aching.

Chronic pain often leads to other symptoms and conditions, including:

Pain is chronic if it lasts or comes and goes for more than three months and should be examined by a medical physician who will physically examine the body and order tests to look for the cause of the pain.
The physician may order tests to help confirm the origin of the chronic pain, which may include:
- Blood tests.
- Electromyography to test muscle activity.
- Imaging tests, including X-rays and MRIs.
- Nerve conduction studies.
- Reflex and balance tests.
- Spinal fluid tests.

Once an individual has been diagnosed with chronic pain, treatment may include one, or a combination of the following:

- Antidepressants such as tricyclic antidepressants.
