Although pain can protect us by forcing us to rest an injury or to stop doing something, the experience of being in a state of uncontrolled pain is horrible, frightening, and can have a profound effect on our quality of life. Uncontrolled pain can leads to some altered physiological effects like Increased oxygen consumption, Impaired bowel moment , Cardiovascular effects, Sleep disturbances, Delays mobilization . It turns out that healing is actually delayed when pain caused by  cell tissue damage is not relieved. Research shows that uncontrolled pain has an adverse effect on our immune system. Continuous pain also appears to lower our body's ability to respond to stressful situations such as surgery, chemotherapy, and psychological stress. Far-reaching consequences can also result from pain due to damage to a nerve.This type of unrelieved pain seems to cause changes in the nervous system that contribute to the development chronic pain long after the damage to the nerve has healed.
