Pain is one of the most commonly felt sensations by most living beings, right? Most of us experience some kind of a minor pain on a regular basis.

Be it from jamming your fingers between a car door, stubbing your toes against the leg of a table, stomach pain from digestive problems, headaches from stress, sprains that occurred while playing a sport - you name it.

Without feeling an ache or a pain, we would not know about a presence of an injury or an ailment, especially if it is internal.

body aches all over

This is because, pain is a symptom of a number of conditions, usually caused by inflammation or infections caused by that particular disease or injury.

When the nerves or tissues in a certain area of your body get inflamed or infected, it can cause pain, as inflammation or infections can inhibit blood flow.

Now, certain kind of aches are so intense that people usually seek medical help immediately for these.
