Pain, but not as we know it: Neuropathic pain and the immune system

[Joachim]

There are three main types of pain: nociceptive pain, the type we're most familiar with, from bee stings and ankle strains to inflammatory arthritis. There's neuropathic pain, arising from damage to the peripheral nervous system or the brain itself due to disease or injury. Then there are functional pain disorders arising from complex organic dysfunction, sometimes called 'primary pain," but most often just known as "other."
