Nociceptive

Denoting pain from the arousal of peripheral nerve cells.

So basically when we hurt from temperature, pressure or chemicals. A completely different kind of pain to the one I'm experiencing right now, which is the usual 5 week uni rush where the work starts piling on, and you are reminded once again that you are merely mortal; not the omniscient being all other non-uni dwellers are.

Regardless, nociceptive is a very cool sounding word. Rhyming with deceptive.
