WHAT IS PAIN?
Pain is an alert that something is wrong with your body.
It can be beneficial since it helps protect your body from further harm.
Pain results from any condition that stimulates the body's special sensors to register pain. These conditions can include:

Trauma to skin, tendons, ligaments, muscles, bones and nerves.

Infections

Bleeding

Tumors
Pain generally dissipates as the underlying condition heals or is treated medically. Its intensity and frequency can vary from individual to individual bearing no relationship to the degree of the injury
or illness.

However, if the pain is prolonged after medical treatment (about 6 weeks) it is no longer serving as a protection. The extended suffering can cause changes in the individual, resulting in an inability to function and lead a normal life.
