What is the reason for pain? Pain hurts us, but could it be good for us? Is pain in fact helpful? Pain is the   body's way to tell us that something is wrong so that we stop what we are doing to protect the body. For         example, if you break your leg, pain stops you from walking on it.If you didn't feel any pain, you

would continue  walking around and you could hurt your leg more. But why does it continue to hurt even

after you have

stopped walking on your hurt leg?That is because your body needs you to rest in order to have the energy

to mend the broken bone.

But how does pain work? We have special cells in our skin, our eyes, and inside our bodies,too. When

something goes wrong, these cells send messages to the brain. The brain then makes us feel pain so we

will stop doing whatever is causing the pain. Put your hand on a hot pan, and your hand's skin cells tell  

your muscles and your brain. Your muscles are able to quickly move your hand away from the heat. At the

same time, your brain gets the message that something is wrong and you need to care for your hand. It all happens in less than a second.

But did you know that the brain itself cannot feel pain? In fact, when doctors cut into the brain, they do not put the person to sleep. Because the person does not feel any pain in the brain,it is thought to be much safer if the person is awake while the doctor works.
