100% YES there sure is a difference!

Some key points about “pain” experiences:

Pain isn't always BAD
It tells us to pay attention to the area that is experiencing this "painful" stimulus
Pain is a protective mechanism that will warn us about potential “danger ahead"


Now, some key points about experiencing “discomfort”:

Discomfort is often described as uncomfortable positions or movements that can still be achieved but with difficultly or uneasiness
