    Implying chronic pain can only be caused by what, injury?

    A person can be so out of shape that every day things “hurt”. Exercise gains are logarithmic. Walking a few miles a day makes their heart, lungs, muscles, work so much better.

    Our joints, the spine, need to be worked out or they will get sore. It’s the same reason that good posture makes you feel better than bad posture.

      What the fuck else would cause it?

      A decade of refusing to do any physical activity and eating whatever they want?

      That’s not chronic pain.

      I would do anything to alleviate my pain, pain that you literally couldn’t fucking imagine.

      So no.

      It’s not the same as someone who fixes it with six months of bare minimum activity.

        It sucks that you’re in so much pain, but any pain that someone experiences on a continual basis is chronic pain, regardless of its intensity. A lot of chronic pain can be alleviated through exercise.
