Is there an explanation as to why pain caused by something internal to the body (ie tooth pain, stomach ache, ear ache, kidney stones, etc) always seems to hurt so much more than pain caused by something external to the body (ie you get a cut/scrape/bruise or step on something like a rock or a lego or a thumbtack)? It’s something I noticed recently and was hoping for an explanation as to why that was the case.
In: Biology
I would assume it’s because there are more nerves inside the body as that’s where your organs are etc…
