In this paper, we discuss how phenomenology might cogently express  the way painful experiences are layered with complex intersubjective meaning. In  particular, we propose a critical conception of pain as an intricate multi-levelled  phenomenon, deeply ingrained in the constitution of one’s sense of bodily self and  emerging from a web of intercorporeal, social, cultural, and political relations. In  the first section, we review and critique some conceptual accounts of pain. Then,  we explore how pain is involved in complex ways with modalities of pleasure and  displeasure, enacted personal meaning, and contexts of empathy or shame. We aim  to show why a phenomenology of pain must acknowledge the richness and diversity  of peculiar painful experiences. The second section then weaves these critical  insights into Husserlian phenomenology of embodiment, sensation, and localisation.  We introduce the distinction between Body-Object and Lived-Body to show  how pain presents intersubjectively (e.g. from a patient to a clinician). Furthermore,  we stress that,while pain seems to take amarginal position inHusserl’s whole corpus,  its role is central in the transcendental constitution of the Lived-Body, interacting  with the personal, interpersonal, and intersubjective levels of experiential constitution.  Taking a critical-phenomenological perspective,wethen concretely explore how  some peoplemay experience structural conditions whichmay make their experiences  more or less painful.
