My mom gets chronic pain, so am i likely to get it later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Chronic pain by itself is not hereditary. However if the pain is due to medical conditions that have a genetic predisposition, then maybe. Making sure you stay healthy by eating right, exercising, drinking water, maintaining your weight can prevent many medical conditions and provide a healthier life now and in the future.
