Dr Geeta Mittal, the pain specialist said that the pain is a general term that describes uncomfortable sensations in the body. It stems from activation of the nervous system. Pain can range from annoying to debilitating, and it can feel like a sharp stabbing or a dull ache. Although inconvenient and uncomfortable, pain can be a good thing. It lets us know when something is wrong and gives us hints about causes. Some pain is easy to diagnose and can be managed at home. But some types of pain signal serious conditions she added….

Dr B K Mohindra, HOD anaesthesia at MOH advised that you should seek medical attention for your pain if it is the result of an injury or accident, especially when there is a risk of bleeding, infection, or broken bones, or when the injury is to the head . If an internal pain is acute and sharp: this type of pain may signify a serious problem, such as a ruptured appendix.

Dr Sanjeev K. Uppal, CEO of MOH cautioned the general public against self-medication in case of pain. If you seek medical attention for your pain, your doctor will first do a physical examination and ask you some questions. Be prepared to discuss the pain very specifically he said. He further added that all facilities for interventional nerve blocks under imaging techniques are available at MOH.
