Unusual chronic pain which lacks an apparent reason, demands attention because most typical aches and pains do not require professional attention. This includes:
New pelvic or abdominal pain that fails to disappear
Chest pain or pressure
Bone pain or swelling at unusual sites
Cancers that begin in the ovaries, breasts, lungs and bones often manifest as persistent pain in the early stages. You should not ignore any pain that becomes more intense or continues without relief.
