Why Do We Feel Pain? The Science Behind Pain Explained.

In normal health, our bodies give us very little trouble, but when the machinery becomes faulty, we are warned of the danger at hand by certain uncomfortable sensations which we know as pain. This pain serves a very useful purpose and is not merely to be looked upon as something disagreeable. It is, in reality, protective, since it tells us in what part of our body the trouble lies and gives us warning to tend it before it is too late. If we felt no pain, we would have less chance of curing diseases. Pain, according to doctors, is very valuable, because it not only shows the symptoms of the disease from which the patient is suffering, but also because it prepares the way for Nature’s healing.
