Q

What is pain?

A

Understanding the principles of the pain system can help us manage and interpret our pain. Pain and tissue damage can be dissociated from one another, and the mind’s interpretation of our experiences can create a feeling of pain without tissue damage. Excessive exposure to radiation can cause tissue damage without feeling pain. Therefore, it’s essential to understand the principles of the pain system to manage it effectively.
