chronic discomfort
Lingering bodily unease
Chronic discomfort is persistent unease or mild pain that doesn't rise to the level of acute suffering but never fully goes away.
It can be physical—She lived with chronic discomfort in her lower back—or psychological, describing a lasting sense of unease with a situation or environment.
The phrase emphasizes duration over intensity: not agony, but something you learn to carry.
