The feeling of pain is divided into physical and psychological. The brain and body's response to pain as a result of an injury or illness is called physical pain.
But what is the greatest physical pain a person can feel?
The pain threshold is measured by scientists with an instrument called a dolorimeter, or DOL for short. As an example, a 2 DOL paper cut was measured. Pain tolerance is the maximum a person can tolerate a pain.
There are many factors that determine an individual's pain tolerance, including gender, age, psychological and physiological conditions, and even genetic factors.
Pain tolerance, which can be measured with a dolorimeter, was designed by researchers at Cornell University.
Stepping on a lego is 8 DOL, while breaking a bone or getting a tattoo (depending on the size and duration of the tattoo area) is equal to 18 DOL.
A heart attack counts as 33 DOL, while a stabbing is equal to 38 DOL.
Passing a kidney stone, one of the most painful things for a person, has been measured as 50 DOL.
But men need even more than 52 DOL to get a big hit in their testicles.
The pain threshold experienced by women during normal childbirth is 57 DOL and ranks second in the most painful sensations in the world.
The collision of a train or car (depending on its speed) is calculated as 67 DOL.
The greatest pain that a person can feel is burning with 70 Dolorimeters.
