Pain: Pain is not a disease but a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific body area).

Musculoskeletal pain: It is generally caused by disorders of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Injuries (mostly sports-related) are the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain. Muscle pain (myalgia) can be caused due to injury, infection, loss of blood flow to the muscle, illness, or a tumour. 

Gout: Gout is a type of arthritis called 'gouty arthritis'. It is caused by a build-up of a naturally occurring chemical (uric acid) in the body (hyperuricemia). The excess uric acid deposit and crystallize in the joints leading to pain and inflammation. The general signs and symptoms of gout include sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in the joints, mostly in the joint at the base of the big toe.
