Pain and more pain

Pain is a feeling triggered in the nervous system. Pain may be sharp or dull, last short periods or long periods of time. It may come and go, or it may be constant. You may feel pain in one area of your body, such as your back, abdomen or chest, or you may feel pain all over, such as when your muscles ache from the flu. Some times you feel pain in one area and it may actually be caused by a different area of the body.
