Common pitfalls in treating complex, chronic pain include emphasis on pain symptom management, assuming that the source of the pain has previously been identified and believing that meaningful long-term pain reduction is not possible. Just changing the approach to these pitfalls can be of benefit. For example, while emphasis on pain symptom management would seem to be a rather obvious goal, when increasing the dose or number of pain medications does not work, then alternative pharmacologic approaches should be considered.

Arthritis is a general term that refers to many rheumatic diseases that can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints or other connective tissues. These diseases can also affect supporting structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, or other parts of the body. Some common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis.
