‘That pain is sitting right between my eyes’

Dictionary.com defines “pain” as a “physical suffering or distress,” and “a distressing sensation in a particular area of the body.” There can be many sources of pain. Among the most common sources are temporary body aches brought on by illness, stress and tension, or more long-term concerns such as arthritis. When experiencing it – headache, backache, wherever aches – definitions don’t matter; it just hurts.
