Abstract
Obesity is a global health epidemic that significantly affects individuals' quality of life. Among its myriad complications, chronic pain is a common and debilitating issue. Pain conditions associated with obesity, such as osteoarthritis, lower back pain, and neuropathic pain, often stem from mechanical stress on the musculoskeletal system, systemic inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. Bariatric surgery, a well-established intervention for severe obesity, has emerged as a transformative solution not only for weight loss but also for alleviating chronic pain. This article explores the mechanisms, evidence, and implications of bariatric surgery in mitigating chronic pain associated with obesity.
