Pain is a distressing feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli. The International Association for the Study of Pain's widely used definition defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage".1 In medical diagnosis, pain is regarded as a symptom of an underlying condition.
Pain motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future.2 Most pain resolves once the noxious stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but it may persist despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body. Sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease.3
Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in most developed countries.45 It is a major symptom in many medical conditions, and can interfere with a person's quality of life and general functioning.6 Simple pain medications are useful in 20% to 70% of cases.7 Psychological factors such as social support, hypnotic suggestion, excitement, or distraction can significantly affect pain's intensity or unpleasantness.

"Bodies bleed upon physical injury, and they may look quite hurtful but eventually the pain will wear off as time passes and they can heal faster with medical aid. What are more serious are emotional scars. They are the hardest to heal. Physical and emotional scars are a bit different. Unlike physical ones, there's no ointment available for the emotional ones, and the pain may never go away. There is only one thing, that can stop such heartache. However as inconvenient it may seem, this cure can only be given by people other than yourself.
