Sclerotomic in distribution and felt distant from its origin (e.g., bursitis in the shoulder produces pain in the lateral arm, and sciatic-like leg pain can be referred from the lower-back area).
pain that may be felt in one region of the body from a stimulus in another.
A referred pain is one felt in a site other than an injured or diseased part. Sensory nerves from certain body areas converge before they enter the brain, causing confusion about the source of pain signals.
Pain experienced away from its site of origin. This arises because of shared pathways for transmission of pain impulses within the nervous system.
Visceral pain mediated by afferent fibres from the viscera involved that appears to come from the body surface innervated by somatic fibres of the same spinal cord segment. See dermatome.
Pain felt in a body part that is distant from the pain origin. The origin and the body part may share a common nerve pathway.
Pain felt in one part of the body away from the site of the injury. For instance, injuries to C3 can produce pain in the pectoral (chest) area.
pain that is felt at a place in the body different from the injured or diseased part where the pain would be expected; "angina pectoris can cause referred pain in the left shoulder"; "pain in the right shoulder can be referred pain from gallbladder disease"
Pain that is felt in a part of the body at a distance from its area of origin.
pain perceived to be in one area but whose source is another area
Pain perceived as occurring in a part of the body other than its true source.
pain felt in a region of the body that is some distance away from the actual cause of the pain. This may be experienced after suffering a personal injury for which somebody else is liable and for which you may be able to pursue an accident compensation claim or other compensation claim through our No Win No Fee lawyers.
Pain that is felt in one part of the body, but actually emanates from dysfunction in another part of the body.
Pain generated in one area of the body, but felt in another.
A pain felt in a part of the body remote from the site where pain originates.
Pain that originates in one part of the body, but is felt in another part of the body.
Pain felt in an undamaged area of body away from the actual injury.
Pain felt at a site distant from the source
Referred pain is an unpleasant sensation localised to an area separate from the site of the causative injury or other painful stimulation. Often, referred pain arises when a nerve is compressed or damaged at or near its origin. In this circumstance, the sensation of pain will generally be felt in the territory that the nerve serves, even though the damage originates elsewhere.
