What is pain and how is it chronic?
Pain is a feeling. It is an alarm system for the body that alerts us to a potential injury. Without pain, we don't know that something dangerous is happening in our bodies.
Regardless of where a person injures, all pain is felt in the brain. Nerves send signals to the brain to tell the body that something has happened and the brain decides whether it thinks there is a real threat or not. ?
The pain usually serves the purpose of drawing a person's attention to potential harm and subsides when it is no longer needed. It is a sudden sensation that occurs in response to something specific, such as a burn, injury, surgery, or toothache. Pain lasting more than three months is considered chronic.
