See below: Perception of pain is complicated and different individual perceive pain and handle pain differently.If you are having a chronic pain condition, even if caused by a structural problem I would advise you to consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT).CBT along with Mindfulness Meditation has proven very helpful for chronic pain.See CheckList "Overcoming Anxiety and Stress" dealing with CBT *comments
