1. Read the text. Get ready to describe different kinds of pain.

Pain

Pain is divided into two types: acute pain and chronic pain.

Acute pain is pain of sudden onset, lasting for hours to days. Acute pain has a clear cause. It could result from any illness, trauma, surgery or any painful medical procedures.

Acute pain signals that there is something wrong and motivates the person to get help.

Examples of acute pain include:

the pain of heart attack

acute appendicitis

bone fracture

muscle sprain and others.

Chronic pain is the pain that starts as an acute pain and continues beyond the normal time expected for resolution of the problem. It can last for a long time (for 6 months or longer). About 9% of the US population and 18% of the European population suffer from chronic pain.

Severity

Severe or excruciating (болісний, нестерпний)

Periodicity

Continuous pain that does not stop.

Intermittent pain that stops and starts again.

Brief or transient pain that passes quickly.

Quality

Sharp pain that is intense.

Dull pain that is not as intense or acute as sharp pain, possibly more annoying than painful. It is usually more diffuse than sharp pain.

Diffuse pain that covers a large area.

Shifting pain that moves from one area to another, such as from the lower abdomen to the area over the stomach.
