<br/><br/> "Whether it's the bite of the dentist's drill, the viselike contractions of childbirth or the crushing pressure of a heart attack, one thing's certain: Pain is commonly feared yet poorly understood. The sensation may be universal, but the intensity with which it is felt varies widely, colored by past experience, anxiety, insomnia, cultural conditioning and fundamental biological or psychological makeup." (EXPLORE) This article examines what triggers pain and discusses how chronic pain can seriously hamper our everyday lives.
