there are pain receptors in the skin, when we get any pain stimulus it pass through this receptors and goes to the CNS. the stimulus pass through the dorsal nerve root to the marginal nucleus and substenti gelatinosa of Rolando which are the nucleus of the spinal cord. from there the pain changes its side and goes to the other side and travel through the lateral spinothalamic tract(paleospinothalamic tract and neospinothalamic tract) by this pathway it reaches to the higher centers of brain like limbic system, thalamus and to the paraqidactal gray matter. from these nucleus it radiates to the sensory cortex, this is how we feel the pain.
