Where does the pain come from?

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...!

So much depends on what you really want.  You might ask why. But that accomplishes what?    Too much depends on the specific circumstance of what created the hurt.  Besides, life is a lesson to be learned and remembered...so it can never happen again.  Perhaps the only question I would ask is; What did you gain from my pain?

I honestly didn't think it hurt too badly, but everybody has a different tolerance level for pain.  After a few minutes, the pain will get better because the area will go numb and you'll be used to the sensation.  Good luck!

Pain = something is wrong.  If you haven't seen a doctor, go see a doctor.  Don't ask people for medical advice on Yahoo (or any other message board or website).  You'll get some very inaccurate information and there's NO possible way that they can give you a good answer, even if they are a doctor, because you need to be examined.

Your brain has no nereve endings, so it cant hurt. Its the sensation of building tension in the muscles or constricton causing pressure that causes the pain. The origin of the pain is what causes the shifts in pain location for eg. we hunch our bodies defensively when we are under stress which leads to constant muscle tenson across the shoulders and neck which eventually translates into the characteristic pattern of a tension headache (back, neck, shoulder, head). or if you have eye problems headaches can originate on the side of constant strain or pressure (left eye vs right).\n\nApart from eyes and migraine, certain substances (e.g drugs, drinks, food etc.) can trigger headaches. Hormonal (e.g. menstrual) changes, dehydration, tiredness and other states of biological disharmony can lead to headaches.

"The pain of migraine occurs when excited brain cells trigger the trigeminal nerve to release chemicals that irritate and cause swelling of blood vessels on the surface of the brain. These swollen blood vessels send pain signals to the brainstem, an area of the brain that processes pain information. The pain of migraine is a "referred" pain that is typically felt around the eye or temple area. Pain can also occur in the face, sinus, jaw or neck area. Once the attack is full-blown, many people will be sensitive to anything touching their head. Activities such as combing their hair or shaving may be painful or unpleasant."

The pain will tell you!

The right answer depends on why you have the pain - is it a nerve, a muscle, a disc, etc.  If it is a muscular pain, the answer is probably stretching,  particularly the hamstrings.  Your musculature is all connected, and if one large muscle is wound tight, it will impact your entire body.  THis happens to me a lot, and stretching is always the answer.

I'm sorry for your loss. :&#92;\n\nI think that you should get it checked out by a doctor, and it makes sense that your mental anguish could be the cause of physical pain. \n\nGood luck. :]

It could be a lot of different things so I wouldn't begin to speculate. This may not have anything to do with your stomach.\nWhat you need to do is go to your doctor and describe to him or her where the pain is located, what type of pain it is, (sharp, raditating, etc.) if the pain is happening all the time or only after certain activities and whatever else the doctor may ask you.\n\nI'm not trying to scare you, but I'd suggest you make an appointment right away.

Why couldn't it. every part of your body can suffer pain. Whether it be caused by external or internal reasons - yes. But, being that it is set inside very spongy tissue, I do believe it would be difficult to suffer pain due to external reasons. If there is pain for any reason, I suggest consulting a doctor.

Well the pain cant just be from talking about pain sex. The pain can be from mid point of your period your 18 so your body is about sone growing and is telling you that its almost done I had the same problem as well. I now only feel that way mid way between periods. That is all I can think of about this subject.

Where there is pain... there is a desire to numb that pain. If she can't find the cause of her suffering she will seek out substances that will help her forget about it. \n\nI wish her luck!

Hurt turns to anger, anger leads to suffering.

It really depends on your pain threshold. I'm sure it hurts a little at first, but you get used to it over time and eventually it is no big deal.

Pain that is caused by another part of your body having a problem that is felt somewhere else.\n\nExample... pain in the back of your leg can actually be orginating from your low back or hip.
