AB Normal  somatic  sensation  reflects  a  continuous  monitoring  process,  little  of  which  reaches  consciousness  under  ordinary  conditions.  By  contrast,  disordered  sensation,  particularly  when  experienced  as  painful,  is  alarming  and  dominates  the  patient’s  attention.  Physicians  should  be  able  to  recognize  abnormal  sensations  by  how  they  are  described,  know  their  type  and  likely  site  of  origin,  and  understand  their  implications.  Pain  is  considered  separately  in  Chap.  10.
