Everybody? has a different feeling of pain. There are five common types of pain, but some pain can fit into more than one category, which is where the complication comes in.

Acute pain is the sudden effect of pain, a short-duration pain lasting from minutes to about three months.

Acute pain also tends to be related to a soft-tissue injury or a temporary illness, so it typically subsides after the injury heals or the illness subsides.

However Acute pain from an injury may evolve into chronic pain if the injury doesn’t heal correctly or if the pain signals malfunction.

Chronic pain is longer in duration. It can be constant or intermittent. Chronic pain is often due to a health condition, like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or a spine condition.

For example, headaches can be considered chronic pain when they continue over many months or years.

Neuropathic pain is due to damage to the nerves or other parts of the nervous system.

It is often described as shooting, stabbing, or burning pain, or it feels like pins and needles. It can also affect sensitivity to touch and can make someone have difficulty feeling hot or cold sensations.

Nociceptive pain is a type of pain caused by damage to body tissue. People often describe it as being a sharp, achy, or throbbing pain. It’s often caused by an external injury.

This type of pain is often experienced in the joints, muscles, skin, tendons, and bones. It can be both acute and chronic.
