Document Summary
Somatic pain: visceral pain, psychological pain, discrepancy can exist between where the pain is felt and the true site of the disorder, referred pain, referring to the other pain associated with the injury. Feeling pain completely different from where it is originally from: no direct connection from the source of pain to another area of pain, ex. Heart attack but pain the arm: can happen through nervous/neurological system. Peripheral/ central nervous system: trickery of the body, radiating pain, directly from the pain source travelling along that involved structure, ex. Hitting l5 nerve can go all the way to the leg. Shooting - nerve related pain: throbbing - vascular congested of fluid. Stabbing - ligament or muscle sprain: deep - pathology. Pain characteristics: am pain/stiffness/better with activity = chronic inflammation with swelling, pain increasing as day progresses = increased congestion in a joint. Sharp/burning/ numbing = nerve pain: general aching/referred to another area = vascular pain.
