1. Acute Pain
Acute pain
from mesothelioma,
as from other diseases, is episodic. Generally, acute pain starts suddenly, may be sharp, and often triggers visible bodily reactions such
as sweating and elevated blood pressure. Acute pain
is a signal of rapid-onset injury to the body, and, usually, is relieved when
pain relief is given or the injury is treated. Mesothelioma patients,
inevitably, will experience acute pain during
treatment.
2.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain from mesothelioma, as
the name suggests, lasts much longer than acute pain from the disease. Pain is considered chronic when
it lasts beyond the normal time expected for an injury to heal or an illness to
resolve. Chronic mesothelioma pain is very stressful for both the body and the soul, and requires careful, ongoing attention.
Chronic pain from mesothelioma can be successfully
controlled with current drug
and non-drug
therapies. As with acute pain, mesothelioma
patients will experience various forms of chronic
pain during treatment.
