Chronic Pain: the hidden illness

Did you know that most of those who suffer from chronic pain hide it well? Assistive devices--canes, wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, braces--tell of an illness or disability. At times, body language will reveal that someone is in pain. If we don't know that a person deals with chronic pain, we cannot show compassion by offering appropriate help.
