Pain: Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term). It can be general (overall body pains) or localized (pain in a specific body area). Pain is highly subjective as some people have a high tolerance for pain while others have a low tolerance. Although pain is inconvenient and unpleasant, it hints about causes when something is wrong in the body. Pain may be caused due to cramps, headache, bone fractures, stomach pain, arthritis (swelling of one or more joints), muscle strain or overuse, cuts, flu, irritable bowel syndrome (an intestinal disorder causing stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation) and fibromyalgia (muscle pain with stiffness and tenderness).
