Brain Disorder

Ryan and I were in charge of researching congenital analgia and a lot of questions popped up about the difference between feeling pain and feeling something in general. To be quite honest i'm not really aware of the difference. I understood the part about how they can't feel temperatures but when it comes to pain and feelings, it seemed like there was a fine line. For instance, say you pick up a heavy book. Obviously you know you are holding a book. Mr. Drier said that people with this disorder can feel the pressure of the book on their hands, but can pressure sometimes be pain. Another example is if I'm pressing a person up against a wall so they aren't moving, would they feel me pushing because of course I'm applying pressure but I'm also applying enough pressure to a point where it hurts. I just found the difference between the two wasn't as obvious as we all thought.
