What
is Pain? Pain is an unpleasant sensory and
emotional experience associated with actual or
potential tissue damage. In general, people can
experience acute and chronic pain. Most people
experience acute pain when they have a disease
or injury to the body. It usually begins
suddenly and acts as a danger signal telling you
that something is wrong and that you need help.
This acute pain can be severe or mild, but it
usually goes away as the body heals. Chronic
pain is like acute pain in that it can start
suddenly. However, chronic pain differs because
it can build up over time and continue long
after the body heals. Acute pain is common after
a spinal cord injury (SCI). The pain may occur
as a result of the damage to the spinal cord, or
it may occur from damage to other areas of the
body at the time of injury.
