You are suffering from the pain of an injury, causing blurred vision and discomfort. Treat it, or let it heal on its own over time.
In-game description

Overview[]

Pain is a negative affliction introduced in the Steadfast Ranger update. It can be caused by a Sprained Wrist, Sprained Ankle, Struggle, or a fall.

While in effect, Pain causes the player's vision to blur slightly around the edges, and will also distort sounds. Pain can be cured immediately with two Painkillers or one Rose Hip Tea. Left untreated, Pain will simply heal on its own after four hours.

Because its only negative impact on actual gameplay is an inability to read Research Books, treating Pain with First Aid can be a potentially wasteful decision; Painkillers and Rose Hip Tea can be used to greater effect by treating Burns or Broken Ribs.
