-Pain is a common symptom in chronic inflammatory diseases. About 30% of the population of the United States suffers from acute or chronic pain, often of unknown cause.(({{pubmed>long:21900506}})) Any part of the body may be affected by inflammation resulting in pain. Lymph nodes are located all over the body and are prime suspects to swell and produce pain from immunopathology in chronic inflammatory diseases.  +Pain is a common symptom in chronic inflammatory diseases. About 30% of the population of the United States suffers from acute or chronic pain, often of unknown cause.(({{pmid>long:21900506}})) Any part of the body may be affected by inflammation resulting in pain. Lymph nodes are located all over the body and are prime suspects to swell and produce pain from immunopathology in chronic inflammatory diseases.  
  
 When pain has been chronic and severe, it is not unusual for inflammatory symptoms to be indicative of both longstanding and ongoing inflammation and immunopathology. For purposes of pain control, it is not necessary to differentiate. Adjusting the Marshall Protocol (MP) medications is the best way to manage immunopathology including pain. If a patient's intolerable pain is not managed by adjustment of the MP medications, he or she should work with their doctor to use palliative methods for relief.  When pain has been chronic and severe, it is not unusual for inflammatory symptoms to be indicative of both longstanding and ongoing inflammation and immunopathology.

-Studies have shown that people in hospitals given adequate pain control tend to heal faster and are able to be discharged sooner than those who are not given adequate pain medications.(({{pubmed>long:17667496}})) The physiologic consequences of uncontrolled pain are myriad, and should not be overlooked. +Studies have shown that people in hospitals given adequate pain control tend to heal faster and are able to be discharged sooner than those who are not given adequate pain medications.(({{pmid>long:17667496}})) The physiologic consequences of uncontrolled pain are myriad, and should not be overlooked. 
  
-For many patients, the level of pain is truly incapacitating and these patients have to have pain control just to be able to get through the day.(({{pubmed>long:17578977}})) The "tough it out" mentality can backfire for times when the pain simply becomes too much.

 Immunopathology can result in increased inflammation in the back, which can be painful. It may be affecting either nerves or muscles, but immunopathology is temporary. It gives you a good idea of where all the problems are. Immunopathology can result in increased inflammation in the back, which can be painful.
