I asked www.perplexity.ai this:
how many people become chronic pain patients every day from accidents, injuries or new diagnosis of a painful disease
Based on the search results, approximately 52.4 new cases of chronic pain occur per 1,000 persons per year in the United States[4][6]. This translates to about 143 new cases of chronic pain per day per million people. The USA has abt 340 million population- translates to abt 50,000 new chronic pts every year.
To put this in perspective:
1. The incidence rate of chronic pain (52.4 cases per 1,000 person-years) is higher than that of other common chronic conditions:
– Diabetes: 7.1 cases per 1,000 person-years
– Depression: 15.9 cases per 1,000 person-years
– Hypertension: 45.3 cases per 1,000 person-years[4]
2. Among those who reported non-chronic pain in 2019, about 14.9% developed chronic pain by 2020, highlighting the importance of early pain management[4].
3. Chronic pain is highly persistent, with 61.4% of those reporting chronic pain in 2019 still experiencing it a year later[4].
4. For high-impact chronic pain (HICP), which limits life or work activities, the incidence rate is 12.0 cases per 1,000 person-years[6].
5. Motor vehicle accidents and work-related injuries are common causes of chronic pain[5]. A study found that 44% of individuals who had sustained severe accidental injuries reported accident-related pain 3 years after the incident[5].
These statistics underscore the significant burden of chronic pain in the U.S. population and emphasize the need for effective early interventions and pain management strategies[4][6].

Why didn’t you include autoimmune conditions t!!hat cause a lot of pain?!? What are the stats on us? We have stuff wrong with us that no one can see! So we’re rarely believed!! Don’t forget about us!
Because I asked http://www.perplexity.ai the question How many people become chronic pain patients every day from accidents, injuries, or new diagnosis of a painful disease
If you read all ten footnotes, you might find where they broke down the numbers from painful diseases that they used to get those numbers. The three diseases mentioned were there to demonstrate the incidence rate of other diseases – nothing to do with any particular disease that causes pain.
The incidence rate of chronic pain (52.4 cases per 1,000 person-years) is higher than that of other common chronic conditions:
– Diabetes: 7.1 cases per 1,000 person-years
– Depression: 15.9 cases per 1,000 person-years
– Hypertension: 45.3 cases per 1,000 person-years[4]
And what makes me far more than boiling mad is the fact that the CDC & PROP have guaranteed the rate of new CPP cases rises HUGELY, since it was shown during the first Gulf war that quick & aggressive acute pain treatment drastically decreases the likelihood of chronic pain developing. The level of rage I feel toward this PROPaganda driven, DEA-fueled barbaric insanity is indescribable. And not just on my own behalf.
