Do you cry when in physical pain?

[jimahaff]

Well I walked off a broken ankle once... that sucked, but I didn't cry, or scream, or anything, I just limped... for two weeks.

I think it depends on your pain tolerance, for me that hurt a lot, but it wasn't unbearable, or overwhelming. For somebody else that might be a lot harder to handle. Some people have a high tolerance for alcohol or drugs, for me its pain.

Nope. I just swear a lot, yell very loudly, and get very, very angry. The last time I rember crying due to physical pain was when I was like 8 or 9.

Last time I cried was when I was extremly drunk and was dared to jump off a rather high cliff, thinking there would be water below I willingly did so and fell onto some rather hard rocks.
Clearly I didnt die, but I ended up breaking my right ankle and my left leg, I now also have 3 compressed disks in my spine which cause me quite a lot of pain if I do any heavy lifting.

This was about 2 years ago.

Not normally, no. It's not because I'm tough. In fact, I cry fairly easily, but it's only ever triggered by emotion. For example, I always cry when I'm having a dental procedure done, but that's because I'm terrified rather than because it hurts. Even the smell of a dentist's office will cause me to tear up. I also cry during emotional scenes in tv shows, movies, games. But, if I hurt myself or something I'm more likely to either be angry with whatever caused it (anyone else find themselves hurling abuse at inanimate objects?) or just swallow whatever pills will make it stop and curl up in a ball 'til it's over.

Pain is just weakness leaving the body. I don't cry over any sort of pain. I take pleasure in the knowledge that I have just become a stronger human being for it.

Nah not since being a child.
I did have a case of acute pericarditis (inflammation of the heart sack) a couple of years ago and it was the most painful thing I'd ever hope to experience but I didn't cry.

Hmmm...let me see.

*slice*

AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Nope, I just type sound effects onto forums. Huh. Weird, that.

 

[Julianking93]

Not usually.
Like many others, it's just a constant string of swears or laughter.
Seems to be when something hurts the worst, I laugh.
Though, I had an ear infection about 3 years ago (maybe 4... can't remember >.>) that was so bad that I started crying.
Not like a child sobbing or anything but... me lying in bed, trying to endure with tears running down my face.
That wasn't a fun night >.>

I've never gotten hurt to the point where I've cried in response, but I swear like a goddamned sailor.

 

[manic_depressive13]

Of course I do. It fucking hurts. I'm not going to sit there pretending it doesn't. I guarantee that all these smug people boasting of a "high pain tolerance" haven't done more than stub their toe in the last ten years.

Oh look, here's one. I don't believe you. How do you know it was broken? Did you get an X-ray? I can't imagine any responsible doctor saying "Looks like it's broken. Off you go then!" It was probably just a sprain that you kept exacerbating because you were walking around on it.

I grit my teeth and limped off a scrap. Bout 2 years ago I got into a car crash due to the shock I couldn't feel anything. So no I don't think I ever had. Usually just curse and endure it.

 

[Ohhi]

Last time I cried from physical pain was when I was thirteen and I was in a car accident I had shards of glass stuck in my face, chest, arms , and legs and I had a piece of metal rammed through my shoulder and was lying in a medium size pool of my own blood that was the last time I remember crying from physical pain everything else just seems insignificant now.

 

[Phlakes]

Depends on the pain. There's that small threshold between screaming in agony and being in so much pain you can't even think that I haven't reached recently.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

it depends on how much pain we're talking. i didn't cry at my broken foot, but i let go of a few tears when the pain in my chest from bronchitis was so bad i could barely breathe. no sobs, of course, but some tears did leak out.

 

[Generalissimo]

even though mental/emotional pain turns me into a living waterway, physical pain....not so much

 

[Kevimaster]

I get pissed when I'm in pain. I just want to punch whatever is closest to me and have to restrain myself.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Physical pain? No. I can shrug off physical pain, emotional pain is much harder to deal with.

 

[Zeckt]

I cried like a flipping baby when I burnt my leg with cooking oil till I was given a dose of morphine. I realized I couldint hold them back, so I just let it lose. It freaking HURT. Burns hurt. REALLY bad.

 

[madster11]

Not since i was like 13.

Not much physical pain makes me cry, these days. I'm big tough alpha male, if i cried when i stubbed my toe the man league would send an assassin to take me out.
