INFLAMMATION AND PAIN

INFLAMMATION is an adaptive response to anything that our body perceives as potentially harmful.

Clinically, the tell-tale signs of inflammation are:

warmth in the inflamed area
redness
swelling
pain and functional impairment

These symptoms frequently affect the musculoskeletal system, thus creating localized tension in the muscles, tendons and bones.

Inflammation develops through complex biochemical processes involving the targets of inflammation, in which molecular and cellular components that are closely interconnected form part, such as:

The arachidonic acid cascade
ROS and RNS
The complement system
The endocannabinoid system
Glucocorticoid receptors

WHAT IS PAIN?

Pain is the means by which the body signals damage to its tissues. As defined by the IASP (International Association for the Study of Pain - 2020) and the World Health Organization, pain is "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with (or similar to that associated with) potential or ongoing tissue damage."

It can be one of two types:

Acute pain, which appears suddenly; its possible causes include an illness, trauma (e.g., an injury while playing sports) or inflammation of a tissue in the body (such as pain associated with a muscle strain). Its duration is limited in time; when the discomfort lasts for more than 12 weeks, it is classified as chronic pain.
Chronic pain may result from an initial trauma (e.g., a fall on one's shoulder), which ends up having long-term consequences, or it may be caused by a persistent condition (e.g., chronic degenerative conditions such as arthritis).

Some types of pain:

TYPE OF PAIN	THE MOST COMMON	SYMPTOMS
Acute pain	bruises tears muscle spasms (e.g., lumbago, neck pain, torticollis, etc.) tendinitis sprains epicondylitis (tennis elbow)	acute intense pain muscle dysfunction inflammation severe difficulty in movement rigidity
Chronic pain	arthritis arthrosis (gonarthrosis, arthrosis of the hand, arthrosis of the hip, etc.)	persistent disabling pain rigidity functional limitation swelling

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFLAMMATION AND PAIN?

Pain and inflammation are two different things, but they actually have many things in common. To be specific, in most cases, the pain we experience in one part of the body, whether the head (headache), a muscle (myalgia), or somewhere else, is often caused by an underlying inflammation.
