understated adjective

Complaint about an Understated Adjective 

I suggest a new word to replace the adjective chronic as an adjective to describe pain because it implies nothing of pathos. For example sunrises are constantly recurring and meet the definition of chronic. Chronic comes from the Greek khronos meaning time. I therefore suggest a different English word.

Besieging....

A siege is an attack over a long time without relief for which there is no internal relief.

I do not have chronic pain. I have besieging pain.

Now that seems to me a much better adjective!!!
