You may feel visceral pain if you have an infection, trauma, disease, a growth, bleeding, or anything that causes pressure, inflammation, or injury to the inside or outside of your internal organs.

Can internal organs feel pain?

Most people have experienced pain from internal organs ranging from the mild discomfort of indigestion to the agony of a renal colic, and women are subject to many forms of visceral pain associated with reproductive life. For both men and women, pain of internal origin is a common cause for seeking medical attention.

How can you tell muscle pain from organ pain?

Because many nerves supply the muscles, bones, and other soft tissues, somatic pain is usually easier to locate than visceral pain. It also tends to be more intense. The nociceptors in these tissues pick up sensations related to temperature, vibration, and swelling.
