Algophobia
Algophobia is fear of pain, fear of hurting or being wounded. This phobia is the more advanced form of reflex fear due to pain that we all feel.
Algophobia comes from two words from the ancient Greek:
“algos-” wich means “pain” and “phobos” it’s “fear”.
Most people suffering from algophobia have had a hard time living a normal life because the smallest pain can cause a panic attack. Algophobia is caused mainly by refusing contact that can be painful. This may be due to a traumatic episode, such as an operation that has gone wrong.
