Talk:Pain

message: 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.

replies: text: 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.

replies: text: 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.

replies: text: 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.

thread_title:  Main image of woman getting blood drawn 

message: 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.

thread_title:  pain locations 

message: 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: ...

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.
