We all experience pain every day, so what is it? The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as an unpleasant sensation and emotional feeling that accompanies existing or potential tissue damage. Pain is often subjective, and each person learns the vocabulary to express pain early in life through the experience of injury. More directly pain is the sensation or feeling of discomfort. The reality is that a significant percentage of people are afflicted by “unbearable pain in their lives”, which reflects not only a blind spot in our perception of health, but also a lack of understanding of the concept of “quality of life”. The theme of the first analgesia day of the International Society for the Study of Pain suggests that pain relief is a fundamental right of patients. Pain has been ranked as the fifth vital sign after respiration, pulse, blood pressure and body temperature. However, many people are still stuck in the old concept that pain is only a symptom, and rarely think of going to a pain clinic when they encounter unexplained pain. In fact, pain itself is a disease, pain is your health alarm signal, only away from pain, in order to improve their quality of life, really enjoy the golden years of life. So when you endure pain, you should promptly seek help from your doctor, but you must be able to shout pain. It is not easy to cry out for pain. There are many kinds of pain, which can be divided according to the location and the name of the disease. It can be divided into two types according to speed only:one kind of pain that feels sharp is transmitted by nerves and can be as high as 30 meters per second; the other kind of pain, also called hidden pain, usually lasts longer and is transmitted much slower, about 0.6 meters per second. Each part of the body has a different level of sensitivity to pain, and there are many differences in the timing of various pains. For example, people who suffer from chronic joint pain are especially likely to feel pain when the weather becomes cooler or turns cloudy, as someone jokingly said: My body forecasts the weather better than the Central Weather Station. Some pain is also not easily detected, such as diabetes, alcoholism, and neuropathy, which may also make a person insensitive to pain and cause serious injury. There are countless causes of pain. The biggest pain threat for middle-aged women is osteoporosis, but there are also pains that arise from years of altered habits, for example, people who are used to drinking coffee and do not drink it in the morning or suddenly quit, sometimes producing bouts of headache or fatigue. In summary, it is really not an easy task to state clearly the pain. In the clinic, we often see some patients cry out for pain in front of the doctor for half a day, but the doctor is not able to understand it, and there is no way to deal with it symptomatically. Therefore, experts recommend that you describe the time, location and cause of your pain when you go to the doctor. You also need to use more vivid words to describe your pain, for example, “it hurts like pins and needles”, “it hurts like electricity” and so on. Only then will the doctor be able to know the condition of your pain from your description. In your description, be sure to include the following points: 1. Location: Where exactly does it hurt? Point out the specific area, point out or circle the area of pain with your hand. 2. Scope: Does a particular point pass or does a particular area hurt? Is it skin pain or bone pain or visceral pain? 3.Spread characteristics: Does it start from a certain area and then spread to other areas? 4.Persistence: Is the pain in bursts, or is it constant? 5. Influencing factors: What does the pain get worse when you do something? Does it hurt when you bend down to pick something up? When you turn around, walk, or lie down? Does the pain increase even when eating certain things? 6.Climate: Is it easy to have pain when it is rainy or cloudy, or when the temperature drops or rises suddenly? 7. Where the pain is likely to strike: The doctor needs to know this because certain substances in the home or work environment may trigger the pain. 8. Other bodily functions: Does the pain prevent you from doing certain things? Does it restrict your movement? 9, the impact on sleep: some pain will prevent sleep, once you fall asleep, but the pain no longer come to bother. If you have this situation, you should write it down. 10, your pain history: from when the pain began, what caused it. It is best to describe the situation at the time of a certain pain attack, and also to note whether the pain situation has changed from the beginning to the present, the increase or decrease of the degree or the spread of the area, etc. 11. Family history: Check to see if anyone else in the family has had such pain or pain-related problems.
