How do we judge that a person is alive? In fact, it is to look at his basic vital signs.
What are these signs? Some of them you can definitely think of, such as blood pressure, breathing, pulse and body temperature.
The 4 types mentioned above are actually very basic, and most people can think of them, which are also called the most basic four vital signs, but you know what? In addition to these four basic vital signs, there is a fifth.
That's pain.
Some people are very surprised, how is pain a vital sign? Isn't it a bad thing to feel pain?
This is not the fifth vital sign, pain is also very important, although the pain is very unpleasant, it feels very uncomfortable, but know that if you can still feel the pain, it means that you are still alive.
If it doesn't hurt at all, it's actually very dangerous, so why do you say that? Today we're going to talk about pain.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" >, can't feel pain, is it a good thing? </h1>
If a person doesn't feel any pain at all, is it really a good thing?
Before answering this question, let's look at a story.
There was once a case in the United States in which there was a child in Minnesota who liked to nibble his fingers after teething.
Isn't it just a finger-nibbling? Can you still nibble on flowers?
The flowers didn't come out, the blood came out.
Because the finger was particularly hard, the flesh on the finger was bitten off, and even the bone was slowly seen, but he still did not stop.
This can frighten parents, is it evil in children?
Although Americans are theistic, this matter can still be explained by materialism.
Children are not evil, but sick, a very rare disease called congenital painlessness.
From the name, you can see his problem, that is, he does not feel pain.
Yes, not a single bit of pain is felt.
Is it really good not to feel pain?
Not necessarily.
Pain is actually the body's self-protection, if you do a posture to feel pain, it is the body telling you not to do this posture again, and then do it may lead to physical damage.
If you go to touch the fire, you will feel the unpleasant experience of the hot and spicy hand, telling you to stay away from the fire, otherwise it is easy to burn.
But if you really don't feel pain, you will feel that there is nothing wrong with touching the fire, but it just looks a little ugly.
What the ending is like, you will slowly break your body, and you will not feel anything at all.
Pain is important and becomes the 5th basic vital sign, truly worthy of its name.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="67" > Second, are there many patients with pain? </h1>
As early as 1986, the International Pain Society defined pain.
"An unpleasant emotional experience related to actual or potential damage"
Of course, this is the definition found in the book, it seems very vague, in fact, pain is a very subjective feeling, everyone will feel pain, but everyone can not experience the pain of others.
However, whether it is a physical or psychological cause of uncomfortable experience, it can be called pain.
Is the pain really accidental? In fact, this idea is wrong.
What we call acute pain may be caused by accident, such as hitting a door frame or walking with a broken foot, this pain is very sudden, we treat it as acute pain.
What is even more difficult to accept is that in fact, chronic pain, the United States has investigated this problem among all American adults, the prevalence of chronic pain has reached 40%.
Especially in the age group of 60 to 70 years old, many people have chronic pain and have been tormented by pain.
What is chronic pain? According to the current concept, as long as it is persistent pain for more than three months, we can call it chronic pain.
For example, many people have been sore in the waist or the knee has been sore, this pain we will call chronic pain.
Now to answer the top question, are there many people around us who are in pain?
Now I can tell you, very much, like the number 40% above, if you ask two middle-aged and elderly people, one of them will definitely tell you that he has been tormented by pain.
In fact, there are not a few such patients, and we can see them everywhere.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="69" > third, pain to endure? </h1>
What do you do when you encounter pain? Many people will answer without hesitation, it must be treatment.
However, this is not the case in real life, for some patients with chronic pain, they do not feel that pain can be cured, because they have tried many ways, including taking medicine, doing physiotherapy, plastering, after trying all kinds of methods, the pain has not effectively improved.
So for these people, the pain becomes intolerable, silently endured, instead of all treatment.
Some people even feel that when they are in pain, they must not take drugs, if they use drugs, they are easy to become addicted, and the problem of painkiller addiction has always plagued everyone.
Should I take the drug? Do you want to treat it?
If I were to say it, the answer would be yes.
Don't endure the pain, take the medicine when you should take the medicine, change the medicine when you change the medicine.
The pain is very unbearable, and people who have not had pain really don't know.
Especially in patients with cancer pain, if necessary, they should still use drugs such as morphine.
After the United States once did a study of cancer patients taking morphine and other drugs, the probability of addiction is about 1%.
What else are you afraid of?
For most patients with low back pain and leg pain, this pain only needs nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to be effectively controlled, and drugs such as morphine and durandine, which may be addictive, are not used at all.
There is really no need to let yourself live so tangled all the time, the more uncomfortable the life, the more heart-wrenching.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70" > summary. </h1>
What should I do if it hurts? Do you have to put up with it?
Pain in fact, do not endure this kind of suffering, can only make yourself live more and more painful, there are many ways to relieve pain, such as the drugs we said above, in addition to a lot of physiotherapy and massage also have a certain relief of pain, are tried.
At the same time, we must also face up to pain, do not regard pain as an enemy, pain is only a stage in our lives, and all people will experience pain.
If you can feel the pain, it's just proof that you're alive, and if you can't even feel the pain, you're missing a vital sign.
Face the pain squarely, face the pain correctly, and never be a slave to the pain.
I hope that everyone can live healthier and enjoy life without pain.
