Chronic pain can be fueled by stress through a cycle in the brain and nervous system. When stressed, the brain shifts blood flow from areas of conscious thinking to the limbic system, which processes emotions and the fight or flight response. This causes physiological changes that can result in pain throughout the body. As this cycle repeats over time, the brain and nervous system learn to perceive pain even without structural damage, as stressors activate the amygdala and autonomic nervous system to produce pain sensations. Breaking this pain cycle requires addressing both the physical and emotional/stress components of chronic pain.
