We have all felt it, and we probably agree that of all the sensations we<br />
are capable of experiencing, pain is our least favorite. Sometimes it’s<br />
a shooting pain, like when we step barefoot on a nail or accidentally<br />
bite our tongue. Sometimes it comes on very slowly and lingers for<br />
hours or days, like a bad sunburn. Or it might hurt only when we<br />
move a part of our body, like after we pull a hamstring or sprain an<br />
ankle. Still other times, such as during a migraine, the pain comes<br />
and goes, with days, weeks, or months between episodes; when it<br />
does come, it leaves us almost incapable of functioning.<br />
