Main image of woman getting blood drawn
[edit]The picture used here in this context was chosen poorly. I would argue that physical pain is the least part of why people have fear of needles / injections. I know an injection can be painful but more often than not it is more of s sting and the pain on a very low scale.
A picture of someone with a cut or even a bruise would be more adequate. Or (I know we go into gore territory here) a burn victims skin or someone with a broken bone. Or even childbirth though I don't know it that would be too special because over half the population could not relate.

- I agree; I removed it. Some1 (talk) 22:00, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- I think the better image would be something like a person squinting his eyes, teeth clenched, and mouth stretched in a distressed frown, alongside that person holding or covering their hurt limb. Obviously, I cannot just go ahead and take a photo of myself doing that without actually getting hurt because that's just completely inaccurate.

- Well, we have this image of a pictogram man with an injured knee and a pulsating pain in the form of two stars, but that isn't accurate for something medical. That kind of picture would be more appropriate for something like showing a normal person what a possible illustrative way of showing the pulsatingness of pain is, but it won't accurately convey a real-world depiction of what physical injury pain may be.

- Alternatively, we could use a painting depicting pain, as done in psychological pain, but I am not an experienced painting enthusiast, so I would doubt there exists a painting that would depicts physical pain in the form of a simple injury.

pain locations
[edit]If a specific location of pain is notable enough for a Wikipedia article, then this article should link to those articles:
- Headache
- Abdominal pain
- Back pain
Wrist pain(already linked)- Heartburn
- Chest pain
- etc.
I also feel this article should mention that some parts of the body cannot feel pain -- "the brain can't feel pain", third degree burns, etc. --DavidCary (talk) 20:03, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Entries and their progress
[edit]As of early June 2022, here is progress for the filling of captions in the Pain article:
- Image: File:Wrist pain.jpg
- Caption: An illustration of wrist pain
- Speciality: Neurology and Pain medicine
- Symptoms: Unpleasant sensory and emotional sensations (with a reference)
- Complications: ...
- Onset: ...
- Duration: Typically depends on the cause
- Types: Physical, psychological, psychogenic
- Causes: ...
- Risks: ...
- Diagnosis: ...
- Differential: ...
- Prevention: ...
- Treatment: ...
- Medication: Analgesic
- Prognosis: ...
- Frequency: ...
- Deaths: ...
I believe most the missing sections can be filled, though there are definitely some that probably don't make sense, or may need more specificness. I am also unsure if all of the entries should be filled. For now, I suppose some of the applicable content for the infobox can be found in the article itself, which is nice.
I could plan to edit the article later so that I can think about filling the infobox carefully, but for now I wanted this thought as a small discussion.
