Tears partly come from a gland that is located above your eyeball and towards your ear in each eye.  It is called the lacrimal gland.  This gland creates the water part of your tears.  It is this gland that gets activated when something irritates your eye or when you are emotionally "revved up" enough to start crying.  It is simply a system of nerves connected to the gland that cause it to start forming tears.  \n\nThere is what is called a tear film that is constantly covering your eye.  The film is not just made of water - oil and mucus are also part of the tear film.  The mucus' job is to keep the water "stuck" to the front of your eye, and the oil's job is to keep the water from evaporating off of your eye.  When people's eyes start to water excessively, the eye is only creating an excess of the watery part of that tear layer, as explained above.  Hope this helps!

It may be torn muscle. That can come from overworking.\n\nIt may also be nerve impingement. If the pain is really sharp, burning kind of sensation, or you get any associated numbness or tingling, that points to inpingement.\n\nEither way, you can talk to your doctor or a massage therapist. They'll be able to do a hands on assessment and tell you whats goin on.

One idea:  Fingernails-on-blackboard: it sounds exactly like the destruction of tooth enamel. We're instinctively programmed to respond instantly.\n\nIt's the sound of body damage; but it's a particular type of body damage for which there is no pain ...yet no healing.

Tears can be an expression of Joy....One of lifes most wonderful joys is falling in love and having your love wanting to spend the rest of their life with you. P.S.- Women aren't the only ones who cry, I cried when she said yes.

The psychic tears (or emotional tears) require an emotional response, or trigger to be activated. This response can be caused by an outside source, either pain or loss of love, etc., or from an inside source (self-realization of one's life and others). When emotions affect us, the nervous system stimulates the cranial nerve, in the brain and this sends signals to the neurotransmitters to the tear glands. Thus, we cry .The largest tear gland, the lacrimal gland produces the tears of emotion and reflex. Many believe that the body, in times of emotional stress, depends on this gland to release excess amounts of chemicals and hormones, returning it to a stable state.

Well they say that the birthing process is not only painful for the mother but for the baby as well. Could you imagine being in the womb but then suddenly all the fluid that keeps you warm drains and the muscles around you start contracting pushing your head down into a very small canal that is usually much smaller than a adult fist. The pressure on a baby that is in the birth canal but be very painful. And then when you come out you are confused disorientated and cold and wet. I imagine it terrifying to be born. Thats probably why we do not remember it ;D\n\nReally though it is good for them to cry to get the air to the brain and lungs.

Hi there,\nI think you are more inquisitive about emotional aspects of " pain" rather than what is called in medical/physiological jargon as 'nociception'.\nNociception is the sharp stinging or burning sensation you feel when you poke ur fingertip with a pin, or after a surgery, fall, fracture or even the feeling sensed in a frost bitten foot ! This is actually a sensation imparted to the brain by Potassium ions released locally from the cells of the injury site, acting through nerve fibers that travel all the way to the " thalamus" in the brain. \n\nThe regions in and around thalamus, called the " limbal circuit"  as well as a few other glandular structures are those that involve the " emotional " aspect of pain. Signals travelling to and from these regions release stress hormones and a vast array of brain chemicals like Gaba, Glutamate, Serotonin etc. \n        Stress hormones like Norepinephrine and cortisol act on various body organsystems and this results in the physical manifestations of deep pain/emotional upset, viz. a pounding heart, depressed mood, that heart-breaking feel, loss of appetite,  and general uneasiness. The brain's  limbic circuit sends signals to facial muscles and the tear glands in the eyes.  \n        When these signals are powerful enough, a person bursts into tears ! Violent contractions of muscles of the face (around eyes, cheek etc) can itself stimulate the tear glands. Thats why you tend to shed tears even when you laugh.\n       The stress hormones released during a painful experience is a way of nature to strongly  imprint the experience in mind so that the organism will "remember " to avoid such experiences or encounters later if possible. \n                 Crying is a way to communicate the agony to a similar organism in the vicinity, even though shedding  tears may or may not be a part of " the act". But over millions of years of evolution, primates like humans have learned to cry  in private just to give vent to the emotions. Mammals like Elephant, cow, deer etc "cry" as part of social behaviour.\n           It has been proven through extensive research that painful situations create a much lasting memory than happier moments.( a good reason to reintroduce corporal punishment in schools!).\n\nSo long then,\nbye...!

Everyone cries. Men and women. Perhaps women share their tears a bit more openly.....but we all cry inside. Its ok to cry......its cleansing in a sense. Ok well....without the soap.....that stings. But it does somehow make you feel better after a good cry. You've let all your emotions come to the surface and find their way out into the open. And sometimes that's exactly what you have to do in order to move beyond the pain and on to the next level of healing. So let the tears come if they want to. Its ok. :)

are you going through some emotional issues right now? if so, you are most likely at a point of vunerability that may make it seem as if the world is out to get you. Don't worry, the sources of you crying are most likely not aiming to intentionally make you miserable. Only really evil people find joy at other's misery. If these people are really mean-spirited, you should question why you should even be interacting with them at all. You should find something that you derive joy from and have that be your focus for a while, and i promise it will take your mind off the things that make you cry!!  Feel Better! Tell yourself that YOU are better than that! :)

I'm no doctor, but it has to do with lactic acid build up in your muscles... also when you use muscles that aren't used to being worked, the muscle actually tears and then mends itself

Crying is an emotional reaction to a thought or stimulation, just like joy or anger.  Any emotional reaction produces a release of adrenaline and hormones into the bloodstream causing the body muscles to tense up for a fight-or-flight response.  However, this release can over produce adrenaline and actually cause your diaphragm - a muscle moving the lungs - to stiffen and stop breathing.  If severe enough, the adrenaline can even produce heart attacks.
