For some reason, I seem to have been given medicine like this from my grandfather.
To be honest, the only definitive information I can share is this.
It's all about intent, at least for me. When I take this pain from someone, I must truly want to help them, and above that, be willing to take the pain upon myself.

I have been able to take persistent aches, and acute pains from my loved ones. As well as emotional pain. Not without consequence. Those pains I take I inherit, most often instantly.

The best example I have is saving my dog's paw after he slice the joint pretty severely. After a week he had a large silver dollar sized open wound, could see his tendon and muscle. Flesh was dying around the wound, and he was suffering a bad fever. I laid holding the wounded paw in my hands all night, praying, and begging for god to help him. The next morning, he popped right back, injury healed within eight days to the point that it didn't bother him.

But, meh, who knows.
