Pain and your body

You can have pain in any area of your body. It can feel very bad, mild, and anywhere in between.

Pain doesn't feel the same for everyone. Words to describe different pain include achy, dull, sharp, shooting, burning, sore, stiff, or tight.

Pain may not be the same every day. It may come and go. Sometimes it may feel worse than other times.

Check your symptoms and talk to your healthcare team about your pain and what treatments might be right for you.

The information below is about common areas where pain can happen, what might cause it, and how you can take care of yourself.
