Pain is an unpleasant and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Pain perception can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable. Inflammation is your immune system's natural response to injury or infection.
