PJC 21.1

462 S.W.2d 559, 562 (Tex. 1970) (citing Marmolejo , 383 S.W.2d 380). It is error to inquire whether the injury extended to or affected other parts of the body. Shannon , 462 S.W.2d at 562 (Tex. 1970). Instructions on pain and other subjective complaints. In Texas Employers’ Insurance Ass’n v. Espinosa , 367 S.W.2d 667, 669 (Tex. 1963), the supreme court held that “mere proof” of pain, headaches, and dizziness following an injury to the eye, without evidence causally linking those symptoms to a source other than an injury to the eye, is legally insufficient to show an extension of a specific injury to other parts of the body.
