Acute pain is your body’s alarm system — a sudden, sharp signal that something is wrong, usually caused by an injury, surgery, or illness. It’s short-term and often fades as you heal.
Chronic pain, on the other hand, is more like a broken alarm. It lingers for weeks, months, or even years — sometimes long after the injury has healed — and can impact your daily life, mood, and mobility.
