Pain: What is It?
Pain is a sensation you receive or perceive, that indicates something is interfering with a
nerve or series of nerves in your body.
Most of the nerve cells that transmit pain are located towards the outside of the body.
Included here are the skin, muscles, ligaments and joints.
It is interesting that a person could be stabbed in the gut and not feel any pain, except where
the entry wound was. You hear about people being shot in war, etc and not knowing it until
they see blood.
Pain: Why is it So Bad or Constant?
Pain is only "bad" or annoying when it
Pain: The Body Puts You "On-Hold"
If you're experiencing any of the above pain scenarios, you should know how the body works
with regards to pain.
First off, from a body's perspective (not the person who occupies the body), pain is present
when the body wants to stop something. A person breaks their leg. Moving it will further
injure it. The body sends the "pain" message to stop any further movement.
Or a person herinates a disc in their low back. Further bending or twisting may result in a
complete rupture of the disc. The body puts out pain signals to "lock" a person in-place (thus
low back pain).
We can live with this mechanism temporarily. Not numbers 1 to 5 above though.
Pain: The Reason it Stays Around and Gets Worse
The "on-hold" mechanism described above is actually a somewhat workable system: You
hurt yourself and your body immobilizes the area so it can heal.
But there is more to the story that ruins anyone's day (or life) with regards to pain.
There is a second and more severe pain reflex that exists in all of us: I call it the "Pain Chat
Room".
The Pain Chat Room consists of a series of nerves that are interconnected in the body.
When you injure yourself, have arthritis or a muscle pull you "ding" a nerve (aggravate a
nerve). Let's call this the primary nerve or injury area.
Through a very complex network of interconnecting nerves, the pain signal spreads. The one
pain nerve gets irritated and recruits other pain nerves to also "turn on". This can be in the
several million of neurons!
Now you have pain! It is "real" pain, but most of it reactive pain, meaning there are no
"causes" other than this "red alert" phenomena of nerve excitement.
Pain begets pain. If you are in a little pain to start, especially in nerve-rich areas like your
back, hands, head and jaw, it spreads into a huge pain event.
I don't know why it happened this way, but the nervous system is extra sensitive. Every nerve
has a backup nerve. And all nerves are either directly or indirectly connected.
So when one has a small pain "incident" (pull a muscle, pinch a nerve, twist something) your
body amplifies it to being a huge event. And the majority of the pain you are experiencing
are from these secondary reactions or the Chat Room Effect.
And it tends to get worse.
Pain: How to Handle
Since most pain you are experiencing is then this secondary pain, of aggravated nerves that
do not in fact, have really anything "wrong" with them, (other than this domino effect brought
on by the actual area of pain). The following is one of the most successful pain relief
programs I have used to "take out" these other pain areas, thus helping you feel better fast.
I Have Three Recommendations for You to Help You with Your Pain:
1. Give your body minerals that are natural anti-inflammatory agents and help
reduce pain.
2. Get on a daily dose of the best Omega 3 oils because this will help reduce
inflammation and fast!!!
3. Handle your BODY STRESS by a fast-acting, non-drug supplement that can help
you feel normal again!

Pain: Why is it So Bad or Constant?
Pain is only "bad" or annoying when it
- Won't go away
- Won't stay away
- Hurts bad (acute or sharp pain)
- Nags (chronic or continual pain)
- Moves around
