Certain words can really hurt, here are a few that might trigger the pain...
Words can hurt, literally. Some of us cringe at phrases like getting a shot, or the words dentist's drill, without even hearing or seeing one. A study in the journal Pain revealed that just saying or hearing words such as hurt, crampy, nauseous, or excruciating can actually stimulate the brain to perceive and intensify pain. Adults are prone to the reaction, but children are even more sensitive.
Choose words carefully for your next trip to the dentist or doctor. Even saying it ISN'T going to hurt can register that pain word. Try using phrases like you'll be fine, or, you'll feel so much better.
