Chronic pain: Thanks for you enthusiasm and sense of curiosity. There are hundreds of different pain syndromes, some short term and some chronic. Most of life's aches & pains go away spontaneously, with "tincture of time". Some are helped with over the counter medications; some require a doctor's visit or even specialist care. Even after years of medical practice, I am still learning new syndromes..
