The neurotransmitters which your brain uses for thinking clearly; processing information are also used by your body for pain control. Extreme pain can affect your brains ability to process the signals it’s receiving from different areas of your body including from the vestibular system which is one of the sensory systems that provides your brain with information about balance, motion, and the location of your head and body in relation to your surroundings.
