Pain is an unpleasant feeling that tell you something is wrong. It can be constant, steady, throbbing, hurting, burning, pinching, or otherwise described in several different ways. At times, it is just a annoyance, such as a minor migraine. Other times it can even be debilitating. If it begins to interfere with your life, it is time to see a doctor.
Several diseases including cancer, arthritis, shingles, Parkinson's, diabetes, heart disease, and other disorders can cause pain throughout the body. Pain is not always a sign of an illness; sometimes it is the body's response to injury or illness. It can also be caused by a direct injury to the brain, such as a blow to the head. When pain is referred pain, meaning the pain is felt all the way from the brain to the area causing it, and this type of pain is dangerous because if not treated properly it could travel to another part of your body and result in severe health problems.
The nerves responsible for pain are called pain pathways, and they run from the spine, through the brain, and to various parts of the body. There are two types of pain: primary pain, which comes from injury or illness, and secondary pain, which comes from something else going on in the body. If someone has broken a finger, for example, they might experience pain in that finger. The finger is sending signals to the brain about the damage, and the brain is sending signals back to the finger, telling it to stop moving. This is primary pain, and is not dangerous unless it persists for more than a few days.
However, there are cases where the pain does not go away after a few days, and it is persistent. In these cases, the pain signals move on to other areas of the body, and start talking to the nerves. This is referred to as secondary pain. Normally, the nerves do what is expected and give pain signals to the brain, telling them that something has damaged the area. However, in some cases, the spinal cord has been damaged, or the brain failed to send the pain signals, which results in secondary pain.
Acute pain, on the other hand, is the type of pain that lasts only for a short time, such as one or two days. This type of Pain usually results from injury to the spinal cord or brain. Most people who experience an acute attack of pain will be in the hospital within a week. While this kind of pain can't normally be corrected with surgery, it is often treated with medication. Medication can come in the form of over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), or prescription medications, such as codeine.
Surgical procedures may also be necessary if the chronic pain continues after a few days. In these cases, the surgeon will either perform a procedure to remove some of the damaged tissue, or realign the spine and the vertebrae. While acute pain is usually associated with tissue damage, it is not uncommon for the nerves to be affected, resulting in referred pain referred to as chronic pain. The chronic pain can result from an inflammation of the nerve, or be referred pain, which describes pain that results from damage to the soft tissues surrounding the spine.
