It was suggested to me when posted on another thread that I should post this in general forum as the Domme thought this was very important knowlege.

As a massage Therapy Instructor I know the difference between different pain. . Burning is nerve pain. Throbbing is vascular. Stinging pain delivered is fine, burning, searing, pins and needles is signs of nerve pain and possible damage. Stabbing is acute. Aching is chronic. In Bondage you must watch for signs of cutting off circulation too long and nerve issues must be managed and managed well by a Dom who is sane

I. PAIN CLASSIFICATION

A. Acute
1. Either a symptom of a disease condition or a temporary aspect of medical treatment.
2. It acts as a warning signal
3. It is usually temporary, of sudden onset, and easily localized
4. Usually subsides with or without treatment

B. Chronic
1. Affects 25% of the population
2. Persist or recurs for indefinite periods, usually longer than 6 months
3. Has an obscure onset and the character and quality of pain changes over time
4. Usually is diffused, poorly localized and often requires the efforts to multidisciplinary health care team

C. Intractable
1. Chronic
2. It exist without demonstrable disease

D. Phantom
1. Frequently experience with amputation

E. Referred Pain
1. Pain is felt in a surface far from the stimulated organ
2. May result from stimulation of receptors in the viscera (internal organs)

F. Somatic Pain
1. arises from stimulation of receptors in skin (superficial) or from receptors in skeletal muscles, joints, tendons, and fascia (deep)

Listed below are the different types of pain location to be considered:

A. Location

1. Localized pain (confined to the site of origin).

2. Projected pain (a result of proximal nerve compression).

3. Radiating pain (diffuse pain, which is not well localized).

4. Referred pain (felt in an area distant from the site of the stimulus).
III. TYPES OF PAIN

A. Prickling Pain: Localized pain when skin is cut or jabbed.

B. Burning: A warm “burning” sensation on skin. Less localization – slower to develop.

C. Aching: When visceral organs are stimulated. It is constant, not localized and it is often referred to areas of the body far from where the damage has occurred.

D. Deep: Not usually localized, nauseating, and frequently associated with sweating and changes in blood pressure.

E. Muscle Pain: When blood supply to a muscle is occluded.

IV. TRIGGER POINTS( these are refered to as knots or pressure points by lay people)

A. An area that is aggravated by stress

B. Small areas of hyperirritability within muscles

C. Often located in a tight bond of muscle fibers

D. Can cause referred pain

VI. DERMATOME

A. An area of the skin that a sensory nerve root services.

B. Cutaneous (skin) distribution of spinal nerve sensation

VII. MOTOR POINT

A. The point where motor nerve enters the muscle it innervates and causes a muscle to twitch if stimulated.

I myself speak to my Dominant and let him know if I am experiencing burning tingling type pian in my wrist during bondage. Stinging pain is yummy. But this burining tingle one is a sign to ease up tension or change position all together.

If anyone has any questions feel free to contact me. Safety first.
