The client's symptoms of sleeplessness, fear, irritability, anxiety, and stress, along with pain lasting longer than 6 months indicate chronic pain. Acute pain typically lasts for a short time and is usually caused by an injury or surgery. Neuropathic pain is caused by damage to the nervous system, while phantom limb pain occurs when an individual feels pain in a limb that is no longer present.
