Why do we feel pain?
In simple words, pain can be described as an uncomfortable and distressing feeling that may occur at a specific position(localized pain) or even in the whole body(generalized pain) due to intense or damaging stimuli. It makes you unpleasant and ranges from annoying to deliberating conditions. Pinching, stinging, burning, sore, or throbbing are some signs of pain.
Tolerability and deepness of pain depend on different parameters such as tissue-damaging, stretching of muscles due to exercise or heavy workload, stress, flu, or any other health condition or disease. Generally, people have different pain tolerant capabilities. Pain can consistently develop suddenly, can occur periodically, may occur only under some specific conditions, or can be started or stopped frequently.
Different people have different tolerability of pain. Pain is mainly divided into three categories that are acute, sub-acute, and chronic. If the feeling of discomfort or pain goes out within six weeks that results from injury, illness, or medical procedure then it is categorized under acute pain if the pain lasts between six to twelve weeks it then it falls under the sub-acute pain category and if pain exists more than twelve weeks or have an ongoing sensation that repeated over several months and year that results from health issues such as chronic migration, fibromyalgia or severe injury then it is known as chronic pain which needs proper treatment.
