If you have ever experienced pain in your back or neck, you know it can be difficult to describe it to someone else. There are many different types of pain: from shooting and throbbing, to stabbing, to shooting pain, to tingling, to cramping. Some people experience pain over their whole bodies, while others deal with the pain of their backs and necks on only one side. Whether your pain is constant or sporadic, it can be debilitating.
Acute pain, also known as acute pain, is usually immediate and very intense, and is usually a sign that your body is being injured. Chronic pain, on the other hand, is typically long-term and mild, and may indicate a tissue damage that will need ongoing pain treatment. This type of pain is not necessarily the fault of the doctor; it could be as a result of injury, surgery, or another medical problem. Because of the emotional experience that comes along with chronic pain, it's important to talk with your doctor about its causes and potential treatments.
When you experience pain, it's hard to ignore the fact that your tissues and muscles are being injured, even if you don't necessarily realize it. The feeling of a lump or sore, or even a tingle can be all it takes to send you rushing to the doctor, only to find out that you actually had an injury that needs treatment right away. This can be especially true if you have been involved in some sort of trauma, such as being involved in a car accident or falling. While you may feel nociceptive pain, this is really just the tissue repairing itself.
Unlike chronic pain, the sensations you feel in your back and neck are not part of a continuing process. If the trauma is acute, however, the brain has mechanisms in place that will signal the body to repair the tissue. When you hurt your back in the same spot again, the brain learns to expect this. But if you keep injuring the same area, your brain will continue to send signals to the rest of your body to keep repairing the tissue. You may feel acute pain in the area where the injury occurs, but because the brain continues to send the message that there is damage, the tissues will stay in repair for a long time.
Another thing that keeps the pain going is your sense of danger detectors. If the area you injured is your spine or your neck, you will feel a sharp pain and you may even make audible noises to alert the brain that something is wrong. However, if the injury is in your hand, the danger detectors are not as strong, and so you will probably not hear or feel any pain at all.
In addition to your brain's threat detectors, your nervous system also has a number of different reaction elements that kick in when tissue is damaged. For instance, the vagus nerve, which is connected to your somatic nervous system, starts sending signals to the major organs of your body when damage occurs. The kidneys start pumping more blood into your body to replace the lost fluids, which also strengthens your immune system. Your liver has to work a little harder to remove the toxins that were caused by the injury, which all of these things help you to recover from your injury faster. Without all of these elements working together, your chronic Pain may last for a very long time.
