injury

An injury is any damage or harm to the body caused by an external force, such as a fall, cut, or blow, or as a result of internal issues like overuse or medical conditions. Injuries can affect skin, muscles, bones, or internal organs and can vary from minor (bruises, small cuts) to severe (broken bones, internal bleeding). They typically cause pain, swelling, or dysfunction of the affected area. Proper treatment and recovery depend on the severity and type of injury, often involving cleaning wounds, immobilization, or medical intervention to promote healing and prevent complications.
