Health problems. These include:
* Existing health conditions, such as fibromyalgia, shingles, arthritis, depression or anxiety disorders, or having a limb amputated (phantom limb pain).
* Past health problems, such as joint injuries. Also, previous surgery may cause new pain or may not work to relieve pain (such as back surgery that does not relieve pain).
* Overall general health condition. You may have a weakened immune system, which can lead to frequent infections or illness.
* Conditions that are difficult to treat, such as nerve pain from shingles (postherpetic neuralgia).
