Pain does not exist, but yet I have experienced both extreme physical pain and mental anguish but what exactly is pain?

    Pain is a phenomen that does exist if yer still alive. You should not make pain go away because then it will come back; you have to make it stop. 
    Pain clinics can help you live with pain without suffering.

    Pain exists. Why would you say it does not?

    By not existing, I mean as an actual entity. As far as I am aware, you cannot examine pain, you cannot bottle it, you cannot weigh it etc. you can study what causes pain and how the sensation can be turned on and turned off but the actual question was 'what exactly is pain'?

    The International Association for the Study of Pain's widely used definition states: "Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage." 
    Pain is a symptom of problem.

    As I see it we can be very joyful and we can be very down or in pain but that does not solve the problem of what it is (what is pain) that makes ous feel that way, it does not exist, it is individual and not an entity.
