First you have to share your knowledge about pain, it's type and pathology.

Definition of pain:-

Pain is a type of feeling that affects the human body and mind, pain is felt only when a person faces an injury, fracture, tissue damage, inflammation, neurological problems.

This is the definition of pain, but there are different types of pain, through which it is determined what type of pain it is, if someone breaks their arms and legs in an accident, then it is a type of fracture, then the patient is provided with orthopedic medical care.

Types of pain according to source:-

• Visceral pain: Visceral pain is damage to internal organs of the body such as liver, heart, stomach, lungs, intestines, such as heart attack.

• Neuropathic pain: This pain is caused by nerve damage, such as nerve damage in diabetic patients.

Types of pain according to time:

Pathology:-

Acute pain pathology:-

• Sudden injury, accident, trauma causes tissue damage, and the body releases chemicals such as prostaglandins, histamine etc.,

• These stimulate nociceptors, and pain signals are sent from the nerves to the brain, thus pain is felt.

Chronic pain pathology:-

• Since it is long-term pain, nociceptors become sensitive, as the pain becomes long-term, it affects the brain and spinal cord, and also affects the psyche.

You have to find a patient with the symptom and share history of injury or illness. You can also share your history too if your suffer from any injury recently or previously that hasn't treated yet.

Since I am myself a sufferer of this pain, I am presenting myself as a patient. I have been suffering from this neck pain for quite some time, and I still suffer from it at present. Although I am not particularly worried about it. I have never visited a doctor for this. I have a history of neck pain, as always, I travel a lot. Due to my job, my workplace is far from my family.

And because of this, I have to travel every two weeks or once a month. Long periods of sitting cause neck pain. Additionally, I am a teacher, and here my job is just to sit and listen to students reading. Moreover, my sleeping habits are a bit unusual; I sleep without a pillow. For these reasons, I frequently experience neck pain.

My symptoms here are that when I sit to pray, I experience pain when trying to turn my head left or right, and I also feel pain when looking up or down. This pain also occurs while sleeping. However, previously, through some tips taught by dear @ashkhan madam, I found relief from this pain, and by following the tips she provided, I am able to find a way to relieve myself from this pain.

It would be better if you treat the patient pain by performing or apply above given exercises or tips, share videos or pictures while performing and then review after getting treatment.

I often have to travel long distances, due to this long journey I sometimes have to go through neck pain, it is very difficult for me.

I practice some exercises to get relief from this pain, it is really helpful.

_{A few pictures from my workout time, which I took myself}

I am doing cervical stretch exercises, and applying warm towel compress on the neck pain area, it is very helpful in terms of pain relief.

My pain is acute pain, due to excessive travel, the pain occurs suddenly and it gets fixed very quickly with some meditation and medication, so I can treat it myself through exercise and lifestyle changes.
