ELI5- why is there “good” pain (like rubbing a sore muscle), and “bad” pain? Why do they feel different?
In: Biology
Bad pain is your body’s way of protecting itself from physical harm. Pain is designed to be bad and unpleasant, so that you will both consciously and subconsciously attempt to move away from this negative stimuli and potential danger to your body.
Pain, of course, happens at varying degrees. The pain from getting stabbed with a knife versus getting poked by a back scratcher is different. The body responds accordingly based on the intensity of the stimuli. Sometimes, you will find a haptic feedback pleasant.
