Results: Have you heard of the Ouchie app?

Just about everyone feels some pain from time to time. When you cut yourself shaving or pull a muscle while working out, pain is your body's way of telling you something is not totally right. Once the injury heals, you stop hurting. But chronic pain is different. Your body continues to hurt for weeks, months, or even years after the injury. Doctors often define chronic pain as any pain that lasts for 3-6+ months. Chronic pain can have real effects on your day-to-day life and your mental health.
