Acute pain

Acute pain is a sudden and intense sensation of discomfort or distress that typically lasts for a short period of time, usually less than three months. It is caused by tissue damage due to injury, surgery, or medical procedures. Acute pain can range in severity from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other physical symptoms such as swelling, redness, and inflammation. In most cases, acute pain can be effectively managed with pain medications and other treatments, and will resolve as the underlying cause of the pain heals.
