Unfortunately, the neural roadmap for sensory messages of tissue injury explains only a part of how we experience pain.
In other words, pain may begin with a neural message of tissue injury or disease, but it is the end product of complex events within the brain.

Memory of tissue injury rather than new messages of injury might contribute to the formation of pain, and in this way the brain might continuously create pain in the absence of its original cause.
Alternatively, the brain might turn minor signaling of tissue injury into a major pain by mixing cognitive and emotional memories into the formation of the pain experience.
