“…Pain interference may contribute not only to premature mortality, but also to other adverse outcomes. One study found that pain interference at age 29 increased hazards of subsequent labor force exit and health-related work limitation ( Pooleri, Yeduri, Horne, Frech, & Tumin, 2023 ). Another study found pain interference predicted injurious falls ( Cai, Leveille, Shi, Chen, & You, 2020 ).…”

“…Early identification of risk factors for pain persistence can help identify patients who would most benefit from treatment to help manage their pain problems. 36 Furthermore, our analysis of risk factors for pain persistence and pain onset can lead to further work tracing mechanisms that might contribute to inequity in the diagnosis and management of pain problems. For example, as discussed in a recent study, a higher incidence of high-impact chronic pain among Black and Hispanic patients as compared with White patients could reflect structural disadvantages limiting access to treatment or the types of treatment received, as well as differences in patient experience and exposure to bias or stigma from health care providers.…”

Objective: Predictors of pain persistence have been identified among patients undergoing treatment for chronic pain or related conditions, but correlates of pain persistence in the general population remain underexplored. We identify socioeconomic variables associated with pain onset or persistence over a 6-10 year period in a nationally representative cohort. Methods: Using panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997, we examined the presence of pain interference at age 29 and chronic pain at ages 35-39. Persistent pain was defined as pain present at both interview timepoints; new onset pain was defined as pain not reported at age 29, but present at ages 35-39; and transient pain was defined as experiencing pain interference at age 29 with no report of chronic pain at ages 35-39. Results: Based on a sample of 6,188 participants, we estimated that 4% experienced persistent pain, 11% experienced transient pain, and 7% experienced new-onset pain. Pain persistence was less likely among non-Hispanic Black respondents but more likely among formerly married respondents and those with poor health, health-related work limitation, or greater pain interference at the age 29 baseline. New onset pain was most likely among female respondents, respondents with some college education, and respondents with poor self-rated health or obesity at baseline. Discussion: Development of chronic pain by mid-late 30s was common among young adults experiencing pain interference at age 29. Race/ethnicity, gender, and educational attainment exhibited different associations with persistence as compared to new onset of pain problems.

“…Chronic pain in young adulthood results in restrictions on daily activities, peer isolation, impacts on relationships with significant others, increased anxiety, isolation from peers and hinders engagement with education and work ( 15 ) and has longer term impacts ( 18 , 19 ). Pain-related challenges (e.g., physical limitations, mood changes due to pain, unpredictable exacerbations) may negatively affect how young adults perceive themselves, and, they often report feeling different compared to peers and prospective romantic partners ( 20 ).…”

A shared love: reciprocity and hopefulness in romantic relationships of young adults with chronic pain

IntroductionChronic pain (≥3 months) creates pain-related challenges that may negatively affect how young adults perceive themselves, and, indeed, they often report feeling different compared to peers and prospective romantic partners. Most studies of romantic relationships in young adults living with a long-term condition (including pain), do not consider the perspective of their partner. We present the findings of a qualitative, exploratory interview study (Phase 2 of a mixed methods study). This qualitative phase aimed to explore how young adults with chronic pain and their partners navigate romantic relationships. We focused on how young adults perceive and experience their romantic relationships and the impact, challenges, and benefits associated with living with chronic pain.MethodsThis study used remote (videoconferencing) photo-elicitation interviews with a convenience sample of young adults with chronic pain (aged 18–25 years, UK and Canada) and their partners. Recruitment occurred via social media, pain-related websites and organizations, and professional networks. Five young adults with chronic pain from the UK and Canada formed the e-Advisory Group and provided detailed advice throughout the study. Data analysis used the principles of inductive reflexive thematic analysis to explore the dimensions and meaning of romantic relationships from the views of young adults with chronic pain and their romantic partners.FindingsSixteen young adults participated (seven couples plus two young adults with pain who were interviewed without their partner). The young adults with chronic pain were ages 18–24 years (mean 21.88 years, SD 2.23). Four major interpretive themes were generated: Kindred spirits—we just sort of work; Loving in everyday acts—it's not above and beyond, it's concerned supportiveness; It's OK to be vulnerable with each other—we can talk it through; and You can't see over the horizon—hopes and fears for the future.DiscussionHopefulness and reciprocity were key to the stories shared by the young adults in the current study. Despite the challenges and limitations imposed by chronic pain, their relationships were characterized by partnership and reciprocity, and they were able to be vulnerable with each other and offer each other support.
