#11. Chronic Pain with No Known Cause
Sufferers experiencing other
symptoms on this list, along with chronic pain with no known cause, may be
suffering from bipolar disorder. I haven’t had this symptom personally but I’m
informed that pain can present itself throughout many parts of the body, which
could be but I guess we would not limit to, severe headaches. Muscle aches and
generalised aches, nonspecific pains can also occur. I don’t think I understand this very well as
I can’t imagine this, though I have had headaches but have put them down to
medication changes and things that headaches would normally be a symptom of.
There
are cases, where the pain felt has a known cause, but for BiPolar sufferers it
may be amplified and intensified. An example migh be, a person with a mild
thing like a bruised knee may complain of unbearable throbbing pain, intense
pain, greater than what would normally be expected from a mild injury.
Curiously, it has been established, that rather than painkillers, it seems that
antidepressants offer the most effective relief from this type of pain.
