How long does the pain last?
I fell and twisted my ankle yesterday, and it's quite painful now. Just trying to get an idea – how long does this kind of general sprain pain usually last?

True, pain duration really depends on what's causing it. Best to check with a doc if it's bothering you a lot.

Haha, for me pain lasts until I get to eat my favorite comfort food! But seriously, if it's stomach pain, sometimes changing diet helps. Otherwise, maybe see a doctor.

Oh god, this question always gets me. I always worry if a pain lasts longer than a day. Is it something serious? Sometimes it's just muscle, sometimes it's something more. Hope you're okay.

Hmm, I was wondering this too. Is there a general rule, like, if it's more than 3 days, it's a concern? Or does it totally depend on where the pain is?

I feel you! I had this weird knee pain last month and it just wouldn't go. Anyone else experienced pain that just lingers for ages without a clear reason?
