What Is Pain? Pain has been defined scientifically as an unpleasant, emotional and sensory experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Most arthritis types that are associated with pain can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic. Acute pain is temporary, but chronic pain ranges from mild to severe, and can last weeks, months, years, or sometimes even a lifetime depending on causation.
