In clinical practice, there are many ways to score pain, including differentiating the nature of the pain, whether it is nociceptive, such as a burn in the hand, or neuropathic, such as in conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia. However, some pain may also have both nociceptive and neuropathic features, such as pain caused by herpes zoster infection. The nature and severity of these pains vary, and each person has a different pain threshold, which leads to a different pain experience.

Reminder: These 4 diseases are recognized as the most painful diseases in the world, each of which makes people miserable
1. Gout
Gout is a complication of hyperuricemia and metabolic disease. People with gout should be familiar with it. When gout attacks, the body will feel unbearable pain. And because gout usually occurs in our joints, when uric acid in the body continues to rise, it may cause small particles of urate crystals to accumulate in the joint area.
At this time, normal joint activities will inevitably be affected by urate crystals, accompanied by severe pain, so gout is also a disease with relatively severe pain.
2. Trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is known as the world’s number one pain, and its pain pattern is usually paroxysmal, usually lasting 15 minutes or even longer. Trigeminal neuralgia is also prone to recurring episodes, with some patients having episodes ranging from a few times a month to even a day.
From the descriptions of clinical patients, most of the reactions of trigeminal neuralgia are pathological electric shock-like reactions, accompanied by sharp pain, which is like the feeling of cutting and tearing. Moreover, the pain usually starts suddenly and then stops suddenly. The pain can start from the maxillofacial or alveolar area and radiate along the entire innervation area. Severe patients may even affect their own diet and rest.

Some people may think that having a stone is not painful and has no symptoms, while others may even pass out from the pain of the stone. In fact, the reason for this difference is that there are many types of stones, and combined with the patient’s own situation, the location and size of the stones, the final pain index will also be different.
Among the different types of stones, ureteral stones can become lodged in the very narrow ureter if left undiagnosed and treated, causing more pain than kidney stones and even pain during childbirth. Therefore, each of us should be careful about this pain. Once you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
4. Cancer pain
Cancer pain may also lead some cancer patients to commit suicide because they cannot bear the pain caused by the proliferation of cancer cells. In addition, in clinical practice, the incidence of cancer pain is very high, especially in advanced patients. The incidence of cancer pain is as high as 60%-80%, and there are many severe patients. The occurrence of cancer pain is related to various psychological and physiological factors.
In addition, the spread and metastasis of tumor cells may also lead to cancer pain, eventually causing symptoms such as bone pain, chest pain, and headache. For cancer patients, cancer pain is very terrible. Many patients simply cannot bear this kind of pain and will eventually choose to give up their lives.

In short, when there is pain in the area, it means that our body has a disease, and we need to go to the hospital for treatment in time, instead of taking painkillers indiscriminately. In addition, taking too many painkillers can also cause an immune response in our body, which may cause antibodies in the body. These days, there are more and more options for pain relief, so stop relying solely on medication. Other methods can also help relieve pain more quickly, eliminate pain, and return to normal life sooner.
