localized pain

Hurt in one spot

Pain confined to a specific, identifiable area of the body rather than spread throughout or felt generally.

A doctor asks whether pain is localized to help diagnose its source: The localized pain in her lower right abdomen suggested appendicitis.

Localized pain often points to injury or inflammation at that particular site.
