Physical and Functional Impairment
Chronic pain often limits veterans' ability to perform daily activities, including self-care, work, and recreational activities. This decreased functionality can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, exacerbating other health issues.
Impact on Mental Health & Wellbeing
There is a strong correlation between chronic pain and mental health among veterans. The constant pain can exacerbate these mental health issues, creating a vicious cycle of pain and psychological distress.
Economic and Occupational Impact
The economic burden of chronic pain on veterans is substantial. It often leads to increased healthcare costs due to frequent medical visits, treatments, and medications. Additionally, chronic pain can impact veterans' ability to work and lost productivity, leading to reduced income, unemployment, or the need for disability benefits. This financial strain can further compound the challenges faced by veterans, affecting their overall well-being and stability.
