if the pain is causing a sensitization I'm going to use the example here of stubbing your toe you stub your toe once okay well it hurts a bit and the pain goes away fairly quickly but if every day you stubbed your toe you would increase the sensitivity so that you don't have to stub it anymore all you have to do is lightly touch that sensitized toe and you are going to have a maladaptive heightened response so if we keep creating pain on that toe it will never get better
