Pain in the elderly is often under treated and not valued as a significant health issue. However, unmanaged chronic pain can result in a severely diminished lifestyle and quality of life as the elderly cope with varying degrees of discomfort. Pain disrupts sleep patterns, inhibits routine daily activities, alters social activities with others, and often results in depression.
Pain is a normal consequence of aging . In addition, the elderly often under report their pain experiences because of this belief or a fear that they will be perceived negatively by their health care provider as being non compliant
