Pain is something we all have experience of. 
Pain  is universal.

Although pain can come in many different forms (stabbing, dull, sharp, throbbing, or aching) we are not always very good at describing our pain to others. We may be even less good at understanding just what the cause of our own pain may be. Pain can be caused by physical organic issues, and it can be caused by psychological or behavioural things too. We all acknowledge that when we feel unhappy or sad, that our pain thresholds are lower and we cannot take as much pain as normal - why then do we have such resistance to accepting that sometimes physical pain can have a psychological cause?
Professors Koch & Jackson describe how we can all cope with pain, how to manage it, and what we can do to distract ourselves from the discomfort.
