If there is one thing in life, we all wish we could manage better it’s pain. Whether it’s emotional or physical, it’s one thing we wish just wasn’t there.

Incredible Facts About Pain

Apart from helping you squash a few pains by the time you have come to the end of this post. This section is going to give you five incredible facts that you may not have to know about pain:

♥ Women generally feel more pain than men.
♥ The brain is not capable of feeling pain.

♥ The most common pain on earth is back pain

♥ Some animals don’t feel pain.
♥ Emotional pain is officially classified as pain.

So there you have a few facts that you didn’t know about pain. The most fascinating fact about pain is this, although we all feel it, scientists have no understanding of what it actually is at its core. Now, while you ponder that, here are some tricks on how to avoid little pains.

Burns

If you are a keen cook, or even an unwilling one, you have no doubt experienced the pain of a burn once or twice when in the kitchen.

Dependant on how severe the burn is, you will experience different levels of discomfort, and you should realise that if the burn looks quite severe, you should call upon medical assistance where possible.

The first thing you need to do to soothe the pain is to rinse the area. Now, while you may have received a lot of advice in your life to rinse that burn under cold water, this is, in fact, not what you should be doing.

To treat the burn, run the area under tepid water, and this will help cool the area far more effectively and also reduce the appearance of blisters. The final thing you can do to treat the burn is to apply a little xylocaine ointment. Ointment like this will reduce pain from the burn and let you carry on with your business.

Stress

One of the most popular pains that nearly everybody will suffer at some point is stress, and while it may be a psychological pain, stress can cause a variety of other issues.

Stress has been known to cause cramps, headaches, muscle spasms and even aches. These symptoms arise due to adrenaline and cortisol imbalances and can often be quite traumatic as most people don’t realise that it’s the stress that’s causing them.

When it comes to pain like this, the treatment is more simple than you think. Talking therapies are really quite effective, and even if CBT isn't for you, you could try talking to somebody close to you.

While people close to you may not be professional, just vocalising your issues can sometimes offer you more clarity than you know.
