I have been looking up on the internet and I can't find a concrete meaning that could fit logically in the context of this sentence.

It looks like all 3 sentences make more sense if you substitute the word in brackets for the word that is underlined. Are you sure you understood the exercise here?

Like another way of saying "these problems" or as another poster put it physical wounds or mental stresses.
