• Clenched jaw, grinding teeth
• Grasping or clutching clothing or fabrics
• Rigid body
• Unusual breathing patterns

• Kicking, restless legs, frequent repositioning, rocking
• Agitation, irritability
• Low tolerance for engaging with others

Furthermore, pain can occur alongside a variety of other symptoms, all of which have some influence on pain, either causing it or intensifying it. These include:

• Depression

Flu-like symptoms, such as:
• Fever
• Chills
• Sore throat
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Cough

• Inability to concentrate
• Loss of appetite
• Muscle spasms
• Numbness
• Sleep disturbances

The three main causes of pain are:

• Injury — Physical trauma and gradual wear and tear are common types of injuries that result in pain, both acute and chronic. A physical injury can be as mild as lightly stubbing a toe, to as severe as a deep cut that causes massive blood loss.

• Illness — The term “illness” is typically used to refer to short-term sicknesses, like the common cold or the flu. These acute infections are the most common kinds of illnesses and can result in muscle aches, headaches, stomach cramps, and other painful symptoms.

• Disease — Chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and arthritis are what people typically refer to when talking about the disease. This can be a significant cause of pain due to the impact it has on the body, resulting in symptoms such as joint stiffness, muscle soreness, numbness in the extremities, stabbing, and shooting pain.

Pain management, in general, focuses on restoring the body to wellness and good health, and there are many ways to approach this. Physical therapy is an effective type of pain management for pain caused by trauma to the body. Alternative therapies, such as injections, like Botox or steroid injections, are another common type of pain management and are integral in the integrative restoration of individual wellness. Diet also plays an important role in pain management, as certain foods or additives can trigger or exacerbate painful symptoms.

Chronic pain is any kind of pain that lasts longer than three months (in some cases, six), and can be mild, moderate, or severe. Severe pain is extreme, excruciating, or debilitating physical suffering that causes major disability and immobility. In summary, chronic pain is used to describe the duration of pain and is not specific to its intensity.
