How trauma can lead to ongoing pain
When pain continues after an injury
Pain after trauma can develop following an accident, fall, workplace injury, sporting injury or other physical trauma. While pain is a normal part of the body’s initial response to injury, it can sometimes continue after the expected healing period.
- Ongoing aching, stiffness or reduced movement after injury.
- Burning, shooting, tingling or heightened sensitivity may develop.
- Pain can continue even after the original injury has healed.
- Ongoing pain may affect movement, work and everyday activities.
- Treatment depends on the injury, symptoms and how pain is affecting daily life.
