Hi Lale,
I hope that the cause of the pain disappears and you can reflect on the link between feeling pain and pain completely theoretically. I agree, of course, with Joffre and others and loved reading Steven's interpretation with Turgenev. Having been with a serious pain experience not too long ago... I am grateful for these medications that take experience of it away until the physical problem resolves itself and the affected part of the body heals.
