Trauma Pain

On the basis of severity of pain, it is divided into two types:

Acute: This pain occurs due to disease, inflammation, or sudden injury. It can be easily diagnosed and treated.

Chronic: When the pain of the injury is increased for a longer period of time, it becomes chronic.

Further Classification of Trauma Pain

Trauma pain is one of the main causes of mortality all over the world. It starts from a specified area of the body that extends to the connected parts (bones, muscles tissues, tendon ligaments etc).

Based on the different sites trauma pain is divided into the following types:

• Tailbone Trauma: It is also known as coccyx trauma. It is defined as a small bone injury at the lower hip of the spine. It is an uncommon trauma pain.
• Traumatic Back Pain: Our back is made of bones, muscles, and different tissues reaching out from your neck to your pelvis. Backbone wounds can result from a sports injury, house chores, an unexpected shock, for example, an auto crash etc. The lower back is the most trauma pain that most of us suffer from. Regular back injuries involve sprains and strains, herniated disks, herniated disks and fractured (broken bones) vertebrae.
• Traumatic Chest Pain:  It is linked to the heart, lung, oesophagal conditions or broken ribs, etc.
• Knee Trauma Pain: This pain occurs due to sports injury or bad falling. The most common knee trauma pain is osteoarthritis.
• Wrist Pain:  Our wrist joint is a smaller bone joint that connects hands to forearms, which helps to allow moving the hand in different angles flexibly.

 The common disorders and injuries associated with wrist are:

• Gout- It is a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in your joints.
• Fractures (broken bones)
• Osteoarthritis- Is the most common type of arthritis. It is caused by the wear and tear of the joints.
• Sprains and Strains- It is the injuries of ligaments, muscles, or tendons.
• Tendinitis- It is inflammation of a tendon, usually due to overuse.
• Neck pain: The muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, or nerves of the neck, cause neck pain. This pain penetrates from your shoulder, jaw, head, or upper arms. It mostly occurs due to muscle strain or tension. It can also be due to the overuse of computers, sitting in bad posture, bad sleeping posture, during exercise, car accidents, etc.

Post-surgical trauma is another condition that occurs after major surgery such as, cardiac, lungs, etc.
