We rethink pain from the ground up with Monica Noy, separating nociception from pain and showing how sloppy language and seductive stories distort care. We examine multiple modes of nociceptive activation, challenge “root cause” thinking, and push for ethical, precise explanations that validate lived experience.

• nociception as necessary for pain, not equivalent to pain
• immune, neuroinflammatory, cellular, and prolonged stress pathways activating nociception
• the nail-in-the-boot anecdote clarified and deconflated
• risks of guru narratives and circular brain-first explanations
• the pitfalls of “root cause” and regional interdependence
• pain-driven movement changes versus movement as cause
• clinical descriptors as mechanisms of nociception, not pain types
• social determinants as context, not convenient causal levers
• semantics as shared meaning that improves assessment and care

We examine the IASP definition of pain, why shared language matters, and how sloppy semantics derail research and care. We contrast barriers to recovery with causes, clarify differences between nociceptors and nociception, and use sensitization and nociplastic as hypotheses that guide better reasoning.

• using the IASP definition to ground assessment
• distinguishing nociceptors, neurons, and nociception
• reframing biopsychosocial as barriers to recovery
• identifying sensitization without overpathologizing
• applying nociceptive, nociplastic, neuropathic as hypotheses
• avoiding conflations like “pain signals” in clinic and AI
• aligning treatment dosing to irritability and mechanism
