Referred pain is a phenomenon where pain is perceived at a location distant from its actual source. It occurs when sensory nerves from different regions of the body converge onto the same pathways in the spinal cord and brain, leading to confusion in the brain’s interpretation of pain signals. Referred pain is a common occurrence and can be caused by various factors, including internal organ dysfunction, musculoskeletal injuries, nerve compression, or systemic diseases. Understanding referred pain is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of underlying conditions.
