A member asked:
What causes chronic pain in some, but not others, given similar/same circumstances?

Great question: There seems to be a predisposition in the make up of some individuals that makes them susceptible to move from acute pain to chronic pain. Bottom line we don't really know.

Variability: The answer is very complex, and somewhat theoretical. No two people are the same. Processing of pain is different in different people. No two injuries are the same. People's percetion of pain and pain tolerance differs. As you see there are many variables.
