What is the meaning of pain? “A piece of pain”?

What I’m talking about is ‘pain’ as a noun, describing something that makes you uncomfortable either physically or mentally.

At least it is countable in describing physical hurt. What is the most’mental’ case? If it’s uncountable in that case, can we say ‘a piece of pain’ in the context that the pain(mentally) may result from different matters or experiences in our life and we want to distinguish them?

Then, if ‘a piece of pain’ is correct, which is the comparative form of this phrase? Why is there so much pain that is no piece less of it? What does it feel like to have one less piece of pain?

I think we have come a long way from being here, i know.

Even though a person with multiple injuries (an abscess in a tooth, a paper cut on the finger, and a broken leg) may feel different types of pain resulting from each one, pain is usually not divided, so not considered to be “divided into pieces”. Is it legal to measure pain, or less pain, and the person that inflicted the pain is sometimes asked to rate the pain on a scale to indicate the severity, or not a common construct in the USA?
