Question unclear ?Nl: All pain perceived within our mind's/brain's internal model of the body, look up homunculus & perceived as originating from somewhere in our body (correct or incorrect). Example: people with amputations commonly continue to perceive feelings/symptoms from within portions of their body no longer present. Normal has little/nothing to do with excellence of health; only means usual, common, average.
