This question is so broad because "pain" feels different to every person, although some types of pain are more characteristic of certain illnesses and disorders.

For example, everyone knows the pain of stubbing one's toe. It throbs. But the throbbing I feel might be very little, while your hurt toe may throb a lot.

Generally speaking, pain can be described in ANY of the following ways:

  • soreness
  • aching
  • throbbing
  • stabbing
  • burning
  • excruciating
  • mild
  • annoying
  • searing
  • debilitating
  • severe

Doctors usually ask questions to get a person's description of the pain (Doc it feels like someone is stabbing me!), the quality of the pain (severe! mild), the location of the pain, and a rating of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most severe pain that person can imagine.

Scientists actually are uncertain whether fish actually feel pain or not.


Do fish feel pain?

The answer is no. Recent studies by scientists have found that fish do not in fact feel pain. According to well respected scientists, including Stephen Hawking (Who says, "I am much like a fish. I can not feel pain.), fish lack the neocortex in the brain to actually feel pain. They can react to pain, but do not actually feel any discomfort, and simply react to something touching them, much like an ordinary person. Findings found from Cambridge Biological Science department, 2008. See the Related Link below. i think they do because scientist's have just proved that they do feel pain However, we DON'T have to make them suffer unnecessary , like eating them alive etc... My opinion (Rebecca Marie) is that we should assume they can feel pain and treat them in a humane manner anyhow.
