Shadowing Practice: Why Do You Have Pain Here When You Run - Learn English Speaking with Video

1
Ow!
2
You're just going about your day when suddenly you're hit with a wave of pain.
3
What's your body trying to tell you, and why does it have to hurt you to do it?
4
Here are 20 Things You Never Knew About Pain.
5
20. Pain is your body's warning system.
6
Remember as a kid when you decided to touch the stove?
7
Your hand only glanced it for half a second before you pulled it away in pain and wound up with a blister.
8
And a stinging lecture from mom about safety.
9
This was a case where pain was very useful.
10
As soon as you touched something that could hurt you, your pain receptors kicked in and sent the very strong message that you should stop before you caused more serious damage.
11
This nerve signal indicates to the body that it should withdraw from a dangerous stimulus immediately and avoid it in the future, saving you a lot of future pain.
12
But not every pain serves a useful purpose.
13
19. What the Hurt?
14
There's another kind of pain that just seems to linger even when there's nothing on the surface causing it.
15
This is called chronic pain, and it lasts more than three to six months.
16
It can be caused by problems in the body's various systems, but it's most often caused by the nervous system,
17
something gets damaged, and the brain or spinal cord sends signals to a part of the body that indicates something's wrong here.
18
Solving or relieving chronic pain can be tricky, and sufferers often spend a lot of time visiting doctors to try to find the right combo of therapy
19
or medication to make their pain finally go away.
20
But there's another cause for chronic pain, and it comes for all of us.
21
18. What's Eating Grandma?
22
Have you ever heard your grandparent complaining about their back or their knees or, well, everything?
23
Probably, and there's a reason for that.
24
pain tends to come with age.
25
That's because just like your car or computer, our bodies wear out after a while, but getting new parts isn't as easy as going to the store.
26
Joints are particularly vulnerable to this because the cartilage
27
and muscle use to make sure everything moves smoothly wears out before the bone does, which can make swinging the knees or other parts a lot rougher and more painful.
28
Thankfully, doctors can now implant artificial joints so grandparents everywhere can start dancing the night away with less pain.
29
But can pain actually be a sign of something good?
30
17. Feel the Burn If you've ever lifted weights or tried to break your own record on the track, you probably know that you can feel pretty rough afterwards.
31
Your muscles are cramping up, it can be hard to move, and you just want to lie down and watch some TV for a while.
32
But after a little it passes, and you actually feel stronger.
33
This is because working your muscles causes a buildup of lactic acid, which makes them tighten up and more painful to move.
34
It relieves itself after a while, and they wind up stronger in the long run.
35
Just be careful you're not overdoing it.
36
If you're spending hours in bed because it's too painful to move after a workout, you might be going too hard too fast.
37
But that's not the only workout-related pain.
38
16. Hip to the Burn Have you ever gone for a run and suddenly the front of your hips starts hurting?
39
This doesn't always come with running too hard, and it doesn't seem like there's a recurring injury, but it's painful enough to stop you in your tracks.
40
This is the hip flexor region, and it can be caused by a number of things.
41
It can be the sign of a more serious problem like a stress fracture or a hernia, but it's most often a hip flexor strain, which is often caused by overuse or a lack of proper stretching.
42
The best way to avoid this is to rest, take some anti-inflammatories if you need them, and do exercises to increase your mobility before you get back on the track.
43
But sometimes the pain isn't as straightforward.
44
Sometimes it's not the hip, sometimes it's above it, in the side, a pain called a side stitch.
45
It's most common during running, but it can happen during any intense activity like swimming or horseback riding.
46
It's not caused by any specific injury, but it's common enough that it affects two-thirds of runners per year.
47
The pain is usually gone by the time the athlete gets it checked out, but while it's going on, it's an intense shooting pain that can stop an athlete in their tracks.
48
So what causes it?
49
Serious shooting pain in the side can be a sign of a major problem like appendicitis, but in most cases the pain of a side stitch disappears quickly after the athlete stops running.
50
Most sports medicine experts believe the cause is an irritation of the abdominal lining or the ligaments surrounding the diaphragm, and can be relieved by stopping,
51
breathing deeply, and putting some pressure on the area.
52
But one other factor can affect it.
53
It's been proven to happen more often to people who eat or drink something sweet before running.
54
You might want to cut out that pre-workout cola.
55
Running can cause pain, no surprise.
56
But what about homework?
57
15. It's all in the wrist.
58
You're typing away on that report that's due, well best not to look at that.
59
Then suddenly a shooting pain in your wrist hits you, and your fingers seem to be getting numb.
60
That's going to make it difficult to type.
61
This is one of the most common repetitive stress injuries, and it doesn't hit athletes but office workers.
62
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the median nerve gets compressed as it sends signals from the wrists to the fingers.
63
It can be linked to rheumatoid arthritis, but the most common cause is repetitive work involving the wrists.
64
It can be alleviated by injections and splints, but surgery is an option for more serious pain.
65
But what about pain that isn't there at all?
66
14. Ooh, ghosts.
67
Spooky.
68
When someone has an amputation, be it due to chronic issues or a sudden injury, at least they don't have to worry about pain there anymore.
69
They can get a prosthetic and move on with their life, right?
70
Not always.
71
Many amputees find themselves experiencing serious pain in their limb.
72
Even though the limb isn't there anymore.
73
Over 80% of amputation patients report feeling some strange sensation in their missing limb, which indicates it's a common response to an unusual nerve stimulus,
74
and the body has to adjust its nerve reactions before this bizarre response resolves itself.
75
It's not the only case where pain involves psychological stimuli.
76
13. Calm down already!
77
Pain is largely a physical response to your body either sending or receiving messages, but it has a mental element too.
78
It causes you stress, which leads to frustration and fear.
79
This is especially common with chronic pain, where it's not clear what's actually causing the pain or how to stop it.
80
The problem is, stress can actually heighten the body's pain response and make it more difficult to focus and solve the problem.
81
If you doubt this, try solving a math problem while getting shocked with a joy buzzer repeatedly.
82
One of the best ways to cut down on pain, though, might be surprising.
83
12. Get Smoked You know what causes stress?
84
Pain.
85
You know what many people use to relieve stress?
86
Smoking.
87
it's doing the exact opposite of relieving pain.
88
Smoking is actually a serious risk for people with chronic pain caused by conditions like fibromyalgia.
89
That's because smoking decreases the blood flow going to joints and can actually delay the healing of injuries.
90
That's why doctors will often tell people not to smoke before or after surgery.
91
It can also interfere with some medications, so it may be time to think about quitting.
92
But that's not the only unexpected thing that can enhance pain.
93
11. What's for lunch?
94
One of the biggest culprits in chronic pain is inflammation.
95
While this redness and swelling is actually a sign of your body healing in most circumstances, it can be too much of a good thing, causing consistent pain and difficulty with moving.
96
And it can actually be caused by what you eat.
97
Processed and fried food and refined grains and sugars can lead to increased inflammation, as can alcohol.
98
Definitely a downside for those looking to drink their pain away, but for those looking to reduce inflammation, healthy fats and proteins, and many fruits and vegetables can help.
99
But one unlikely thing that can actually help relieve pain?
100
10. Get moving We know the last thing you want to do when you're in pain is to get up.
101
The couch is awfully inviting, and there are a lot of shows to binge watch on your 30 streaming services, but studies have proven that sitting or lying down while in pain can make the pain worse.
102
When you actually do have to get up, the pain may be too intense.
103
Instead of waiting for moving to become essential, it's best to keep moving and change position occasionally, especially since moving can produce the pain-killing brain chemicals called endorphins,
104
giving you a similar effect to many pain medications.
105
But if you're looking to relieve pain, there's another more exciting way.
106
9. Get Busy Few pains are harder to get rid of than a migraine.
107
These chronic headaches can make it impossible to focus on anything, and the last thing you want to do is be active.
108
But one type of activity may have an unexpected benefit.
109
If you've got a ready and willing partner, the best medicine for a migraine may be a role in the hay.
110
While it might not be a natural activity – after all, how many times has someone said, not tonight I'd have a headache – but a majority says that sex relieves their symptoms during a migraine attack.
111
And the culprit is the same endorphins that are released by exercise.
112
But sometimes the cure is worse than the pain.
113
8. That stings!
114
Remember when you skinned your knee as a kid?
115
It hurt.
116
And then your folks said they had to clean it, and then they used rubbing alcohol.
117
Now that set your knee on fire the heck does rubbing alcohol hurt so much?
118
Does its job, but the problem is that the cut or scrape exposes the nerve cells under the skin.
119
These are the cells that usually have the job of detecting extremely hot temperature.
120
When exposed to alcohol, their pain threshold gets lowered, and it's not the alcohol that causes the pain but your own body temperature.
121
They're doing their job a little too well, and that's not the only time something good betrays you and causes pain.
122
7. Brrrrrr, ow!
123
There's nothing like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day, or a slurpee, or Italian ice.
124
the frozen treat when suddenly, OW!
125
It's like a jackhammer going off in your brain.
126
You've fallen prey to the notorious brain freeze, but your brain hasn't actually frozen.
127
This condition, actually called sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia, happens because the pain receptors in your mouth are linked to the ones in your forehead.
128
Thus, the signals get crossed, and when your mouth gets the news that something's too hot it gets transmitted to the brain.
129
Oh well, that ice cream still looks pretty good, but some food could cause more lasting pain in the past.
130
6. Pass the meat Usually kings had access to doctors who could help them avoid or treat many common diseases,
131
but one disease was so common to royals that it became known as the disease of kings- gout.
132
This painful disease, which involved serious pain and swelling in the joints, was caused by a buildup of uric acid in the blood, a condition caused by too much rich food and drink.
133
That wasn't something peasants had to worry about.
134
But this disease wasn't new.
135
Evidence of it has been found in the bones of Tyrannosaurus rex, who definitely had a meat-heavy diet.
136
But not everyone experiences the same pain.
137
5. War of the Sexes You've probably seen men and women handle pain differently.
138
Maybe dad cursed up a storm after hitting his thumb with a hammer
139
while mom finished her dinner before washing out that burn.
140
But there's actually a biological difference in the way men and women feel pain, and surprisingly, it's the women who feel more pain.
141
Studies show that women have more nerve receptors than men, and report being in pain to their doctors more often.
142
This has led to a common problem, where some doctors dismiss women when they report being in pain.
143
After all, they've never felt the same thing.
144
Everyone feels pain differently, and some doctors have adapted.
145
4. Rate Your Pain Rate your pain?
146
I'd probably give it a zero, it stinks!
147
But rating pain usually means ranking in on a scale of how severe it is, a tool that more doctors have begun using.
148
It's especially useful for child patients who may not be able to describe their symptoms effectively or chronic pain sufferers.
149
Scales can vary, with some meant for kids even using different types of frowny faces, but most have a similar purpose.
150
If someone rates their pain on the low end of the scale, they can usually go about daily activities only mildly bothered.
151
Someone on the high end may not even be able to get out of bed, but some animals have unusual relationships with pain.
152
3. Snakebitten It's one of the deadliest animals in the world, the black mamba.
153
This venomous snake packs a powerful, potentially fatal bite, so one would assume it's pretty painful when this creature bites you, right?
154
Wrong!
155
The black mamba's venom actually contains pain-relieving compounds that may be more effective than morphine.
156
Scientists are working on developing it as a painkiller, as long as they can separate it from the toxic parts.
157
And hey, for one of the most venomous snakes in the world, he actually looks pretty friendly.
158
But some animals don't feel pain in a normal way either.
159
2. Not Your Average Rat The naked mole rat is atypical in a lot of ways.
160
It's a small, bald rodent that is mostly blind and lives underground in large colonies that resemble insect societies in some ways.
161
They also don't seem to have the same pain receptors as humans, despite being mammals.
162
Studies show they don't feel pain when affected by acid or chili peppers.
163
This has gotten scientists pretty interested in how these critters can provide human pain relief, and they're not the only animals who lack certain pain receptors.
164
A 2005 report said lobsters don't feel pain when boiled, a relief to diners everywhere, even if it's still hotly debated.
165
But a very small number of people are in the same boat.
166
Number 1.
167
Feeling no pain It's a very rare genetic mutation with a number of people worldwide, including a cluster in a Swedish village,
168
having the bizarre medical condition that makes them unable to feel pain.
169
While they can tell temperatures, their pain receptors don't work, making them uniquely vulnerable.
170
A too-hot piece of metal can turn into a third-degree burn if the body doesn't warn you to pull away.
171
A painful stress fracture in the leg can go undetected in someone without pain until it suddenly breaks.
172
These people have to keep on top of their health like no one else, because their body doesn't give them warning signs.
173
Your pain is like an alarm clock.
174
No one is happy to see it, but it's better than the alternative.
175
Check out the worst pain ever.
176
These injuries will make you cry like a baby.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
