Have you ever felt pain in the leg? What is pain?

Pain is a general term that describes an uncomfortable sensation in the body. It comes from the
activation of the nervous system. The pain can range from nagging to debilitating, and can feel like a
sharp stab or a dull ache.

Pain can also be described as throbbing, stinging, aching, and pinching. Pain can be consistent, can
start and stop on its own, or it can appear only in a few conditions.

Pain can be acute or can occur over a longer period of time. It may be related to a specific injury or
problem, or it may be chronic, with sensations lasting for more than three months.

Pain can be localized and affect specific areas of the body or it can be general — for example,
general body aches associated with a cold. With many chronic conditions, the cause of pain is
unknown.

Although this condition is very uncomfortable, pain can be a good thing. Because with this condition
the body tells us if something is wrong and gives clues about the cause. Some pains are easy to
diagnose and can be managed at home. But some types of pain signal a serious condition.
