Causes and Symptoms of Pain
Pain is caused by the stimulation of specific nerve endings in the skin and the lining of internal organs.

The sensation of pain is only felt when the nervous impulse transported from an injured or stretched area reaches the brain and is translated into conscious feeling. The degree of pain felt by a person is no indication of the extent of injury, the depth of painful stimuli, the amount the lining covering an organ is stretched, the amount of blood lost in the area, etc. It can be described as soreness, an ache, a mild tenderness, a constriction, a burning, boring or agonising sensation. Depending on one’s tolerance to pain, a person seeks relief sooner or later. Examples of pain are dealt with under separate headings-headache, backache, pain in the abdomen etc., and remedies have been prescribed for the specific site or cause of pain.
