Pain sensations: Stabbing, Aching, or Throbbing? How to Describe Your Pain to a Doctor
Different pain sensations result from different injuries
and/or conditions. In some cases, expressing the pain sensation or sensations
you feel plays a key role in diagnosis and treatment.
Do your best to specifically describe the type of pain you
feel. Here are some adjectives you may use when describing discomfort:
Achy: Achy pain occurs continuously in a localized area, but
at mild or moderate levels. You may describe similar sensations as heavy or
sore.
Dull: Like aching pain, dull discomfort occurs at a low
level over a long period of time. Dull pain, however, may intensify when you
put pressure on the affected body part.
Raw: Rawness usually affects the skin. If you have
raw-feeling pain, your skin may seem extremely sore or tender. Sharp: When you
feel a sudden, intense spike of pain, that qualifies as “sharp.”
Sharp pain may also fit the descriptors cutting and
shooting.
Stabbing: Like sharp pain, stabbing pain occurs suddenly and
intensely. However, stabbing pain may fade and reoccur many times. Stabbing
pain is similar to drilling and boring pain.
Throbbing: Throbbing pain consists of recurring achy pains.
You may also experience pounding, beating, or pulsing pain.
If you still feel unclear on an aspect of pain description,
inform your doctor. He or she can ask more targeted questions to better understand
what you’re going through. While pinning down an exact description can
sometimes be difficult, doing so will better arm you and your doctor to treat
the root cause of your pain.
When you experience pain, begin thinking of it in the terms
outlined above. You may also find it helpful to keep a record of when you feel
pain, the sensations your pain consists of, and the pain’s intensity.
