What is actual pain?

When it hurts. Like, when your head hurts for example.

And if it stops the hurt - does it stop the actual pain?

		Yes, but the thing causing the pain may still be there

		What is the difference between the two? I treated them as synonym. I did not said it cures the root issue, frankly I dont care that much. I am taking it so that the pain stops and I can function normally. Paracetamol does not stop pain/hurt. It is like taking nothing and just waiting. It may help with fewer or some such, but I am not taking Ibuprofen for fewer.
