Feeling the pain

THROBBING ? gnawing ? aching ? burning ? These are just some of the feelings you associate pain with. Pain is an uncomfortable feeling that signals that there may be something wrong in your body – it is your body sending an early warning to your brain. When there is an injury to your body, the tiny sensors in your body send messages along nerves into your spinal cord up to your brain. 

The intensity of pain differs among individuals even if the injuries or illnesses are similar. Your response to pain is greatly changed by past experience; how you recovered from the previous pain experience can affect the way you perceive pain. Pain is, however, a global disorder that can rob us of our well-being, level of productivity and even basic daily living.
