Abstract

There are many possible patterns of pain. In some cases, the pain can be caused by a condition or injury that affects a completely different part of the body. These causes range from mild injuries that heal quickly with rest to aggressive illnesses that require urgent medical treatment. In order to determine the source of the pain, the causes need to be considered.
