Right!  Most folks don't have a category for it, so it must not be "real".
Same with fatigue.

I hate to "dis" my wife, Laura (especially here), but she never had pain
issues with her leukemia, so there's precious little patience and
understanding on that front.  No wonder people find themselves with no
alternative but "ending it."  You have a medical community that's too scared
to treat it and an at-large society that condemns the meds that relieve it.
Jenn knows what she's talking about, and her asshole doctors need to listen.

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW MUCH DEALING WITH CONTINUOUS PAIN WILL TAKE out of a
person unless they have it to deal with themselves.
