We all feel pain in different ways, so you may find it difficult to describe the type of pain you’re feeling to others. You can also experience more than one type of pain at a time, which only adds to the difficulty.
Understanding the different types of pain can make it easier for you to talk to your doctor and describe your symptoms. Read on to learn about some of the main types of pain and how they feel.
Acute pain is short-term pain that comes on suddenly and has a specific cause, usually tissue injury. Generally, it lasts for fewer than six months and goes away once the underlying cause is treated.
Acute pain tends to start out sharp or intense before gradually improving.
Common causes of acute pain include:
Pain that lasts for more than 12 weeks, even after the original injury has healed, is considered chronic.
Chronic pain can last for years and range from mild to severe on any given day. And it’s fairly common, affecting an estimated 50 million Trusted Source adults in the United States.
While past injuries or damage can cause chronic pain, sometimes there’s no apparent cause.
Without proper management, chronic pain can start to impact your quality of life. As a result, people living with chronic pain may develop symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Dear Shazia,
It has taken me a few days to process what took place last Thursday but I just wanted to write to thank so much for the session. You are a wonderful therapist and I felt very safe and supported with you. You are really sensitive and a great guide.
I found the therapy session demanding but rewarding; I was exhausted at the end of it, but slept really well (the first time in ages) and woke the next day feeling remarkably refreshed and able to tackle life's daily challenges with renewed vigour.
It was if I had been stuck in my old ways, feeling quite stressed and, with your help, I was able to let go and move forward.
One of the exercises, in particular, really surprised me. I had no idea how invasive negative thoughts can be and how quickly and effectively you turned that around. The result is that I now feel in a much better position to manage my chronic health condition.
Thank you so much,
Actress
