Pain is the body's uncomfortable warning signal when it is overstimulated. There are different types of pain and pain can be a symptom of different conditions. It can be steady, throbbing, stabbing, aching, pinching or described in many other ways. Pain is classified as acute or chronic. Acute pain is usually severe and short-lived, and often signals that your body has been injured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical pain releases substances that stimulate the pain receptors of pain nerves. When a pain nerve is stimulated, a signal goes to the spinal cord and then to the brain. Pain perception takes place in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"feel pain\" class=\"wp-image-126\" style=\"width:295px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/pijn-voelen-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">feel pain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pijn-oorzaken\"><strong>Pain causes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be caused by many different types of physical stimuli, such as heat or cold, trauma or damage to tissues. There are different types of somatic or physical pain, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abdominal pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Back pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neck pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nerve pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shoulder pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knee pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ankle pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflammatory pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscle pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A combination of emotional and physical pain also occurs. We call this variant psychosomatic pain or mixed pain. It is therefore both mental and physical. Experience shows that under almost all physical pain listed above, old heartache from traumatic experiences is also stored.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-typen-pijn\"><strong>Types of pain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A distinction is often made between chronic pain and acute pain. In chronic pain, the patient learns to live with it as long as they mentally consent to it. Acute or short-term pain involves physical trauma. There is also pain from incurable illnesses such as cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-symptomen\"><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pain is an unbearable discomfort. It can be unpleasant or stabbing and can occur locally or throughout your body. Tissue pain usually disappears when the injury or inflammation goes away. Sciatica is chronic pain, often described as burning, stinging, itching, cold or numb. Touching can make the pain worse. The pain is not always in the same place. Pain is different for each person and is a very subjective phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oorzaken\"><strong>Causes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jyotishatat.nl\/en\/pain\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Pain<\/a> experience takes place for one simple reason: to protect you. It goes back to the \u201cfight or flight\u201d instinct. A person can only tolerate a certain amount of pain.
