¿Por qué me duele?

Why does it hurt? What is the use of it hurting me? Can I live without pain? We have all experienced pain at some point in our lives and, surely, each one has tried to combat it with greater or lesser success. In this book, based on current knowledge about the physiology of pain, Professor Susana Gaytán tries to answer many of the questions we ask ourselves about it. In this way, she manages to show us how the analysis of the various forms of human suffering can shed light on the value of pain and how cultural heritage determines our way of facing it. Pain tells a story, and only by rereading it will we be able to understand when, why and why it started to hurt.
