Description
“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
? C.S. Lewis
Pain is a symptom which appears as an unpleasant sensation in the human body in various degrees of severity as a consequence of injury, disease, or emotional disorder.
How is pain described?
1. Pain is a feeling which starts in the nervous system.
2. It may be sharp or dull.
3. Pain may come and go, or it may be constant.
4. Pain may be felt in one area of the body, such as the back, abdomen or chest or all over such as body aches from a viral infection.
How is Pain useful to the body?
Pain is the body’s sensation which tells the body where there is a problem, injury or disease.
Without pain, a person may not even know that he has been injured or burned.
He might be seriously burnt or injured if there is no pain.
He might not realize that he has a medical problem that needs treatment.
Once the problem is treated, the pain usually goes away.
In some cases, pain goes on for weeks, months or even years.
This is called chronic pain.
Chronic pain is usually due to a prolonged cause such as cancer or arthritis.
Sometimes the cause is unknown.
