What Is Algophobia?
Algophobia (from the Greek: álgos, “pain” and phóbos, “fear”) is an exaggerated, irrational and persistent fear of pain. It is an unusual, morbid fear of pain, producing intense anxiety that is far more powerful than that of a normal person. Algophobia may also be used in reference to conditions such as fear of being hurt.
