How do you react to pain?

[kickassfrog]

By saying ouch. Bonus points if you say that when in actual pain- say a broken leg, or under torture, not banging your shin, which is mild discomfort.
Saying that, the one time I was in actual pain, by not whining, because it would not have helped.

So, a bit of 3 and 4.

 

[FurinKazanNZ]

Destroy the source of the pain. I can usually ignore it pretty well.

 

[Floggo]

What is this 'Pain'?
It only pains when I break a bone or soemthing.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I tend to tough it out or grin my teeth at the pain, overall result is non verbal. However this is for when something hard hit my body or getting a small cut of some sort.
The only time I had cry from a pain other than being a little kid was during my toes operation were the numbing didn't work (I didn't care for not acting manly to withstand the pain, it was too painful)!

 

[BakaSmurf]

It depends, once I jumped my dirt bike at an awkward angle and would up slamming side-first into a tree, that didn't hurt too badly, and I remained completely calm throughout the whole ordeal dispite everyone around me flipping out. To contrast, I was stung by a hornet that had climbed into my work gloves when I wasn't wearing them and pranced about like a little sissy for a good ten minutes afterwords.

Y U NO CONSISTANT BAKASMURF PAIN THRESHOLD?

Unless it's really bad (which isn't much for my famously low pain threshold) I just ignore it. When it gets more severe, I shout "ARRRGH! BOLLOCKS!" And have difficulty focusing on anything else for a few minutes.

 

[iDoom46]

Usually, no matter how bad the pain I just say "Ow" or "Ouch".
That's right, I don'g cry out, I just say the words, more often than not very calmly.

Only when the pain is really intense will I say the words in a more distressed way.

 

[Wuggy]

Well, it should be said that I feel chronic pain on my back. So I'm pretty used to physical pain and take a substantial amount of it before I meet my threshold. That said, I'm pretty much this:

8) And even people who experience such a strong surge of adrenaline they basically become machines until the adrenaline wears off.

I realized this couple months age when I fell off my longboard quite badly. I needed to use a supportive patch for about three weeks after the event. However at the time I felt nothing. I just got up, and thought "well that wasn't so bad" and continued rolling. Later that day, excruciating pain.

There is one way, and only one way I react to pain.

Spoiler

 

[Spawny0908]

Usually i just say: "AHH FUCK!"

Yeah pretty much this. What is it about the good ol' F-Bomb that makes pain go away?

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

I just swear it off. Works wonders. There's no need to kiss it to make it better, just call it a bastard enough times and it'll go away by itself, if you kiss it it's only gonna stay there for more .

 

[Rawne1980]

7) People who become VERY angry when injured, for no apparent reason.

And that would be me.

As i've said before, i've been shot, stabbed, blown up and been in more fights than I could wiggle a kitten at.

I've been in pain thats incredibly excruciating and while it does hurt like a *****, for some reason it pisses me off.

 

[Ushiromiya Battler]

I usually say ouch while feeling great pleasure...
I have no idea why.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

Oh and as for my worst injury, I was pushed down a corridor in the 3rd grade and I hit my head on the radiator, opening it up, required 6 stitches. My reaction was to try and get up and beat the hell out of the kid that pushed me (he was my rival during those years pretty much, we'd fight all the time) but as I got up I got dizzy and fell back down, then thinking it was sweat I tried to wipe the back of my head and then looking at the inside of my palm it was all covered in blood, like I had ripped off someone's heart or something.


It really didn't hurt all that much and before processing it someone grabbed me and took me at the nurse's office, I never cried or anything, I just wanted my revenge cause in my mind that was a fight that I didn't win .

Pain sucks but I've bin practising martial art with full contact sparring and you learn how to breathe when pains incoming it really helps had my arm dislocated once though I yelled at the guy who did it so much..... my instructor decide to fix the problem.... he kicked my arm back into position... to be honest I screamed ...a lot

but oh well if you breathe out when ur expecting a punch or general pain it hurts less

try it

 

[Zeema]

i go 'hrrm pain'

and just sorta of feel it

 

[Josh Horton]

Gonna be honest, having chronic joint pains, I have gotten to the point where an extremely severe sprain (I kid you not, doctor said I would have been better of breaking it) didn't keep me from walking on it. Hell most of the time I find myself bleeding and can never pin point the location, I must be clumsier than I thought if I find myself bleeding a lot lol.

 

[SinisterGehe]

Well... I been suffering from physical pain condition for almost 3 years now. And every time it gets bit worse I usually get depressed, lose my appetite, get anxiety and panic attacks, become really tired and frustrated. Specially when i take the medication and it doesn't help or has poor response, it depends on the day how well it works, sometimes not at all and sometimes it works really well.

I don't mind pain, when it is not constant. But when it has been constant for 3 years you start to seek reasons to just wake up tomorrow.

I've been hit it the face with a baseball, on 12/31/06 around noon. I had two teeth pushed back into place in the ER. I dealt with it as an excuse to watch the ball drop on TV and just stay up all night.

 

[Hexenwolf]

I'm mostly the first type. I once tore the meniscus in my knee (cartilage) while wrestling and walked half a block to get some aid. I turned down an offer of a wheel-chair (probably stupid as hell, all things considered), which was entirely due to my pride...

That said, certain types of (severe) pain can totally lay me out. In particular I hate stomach aches, or anything in the abdominal region.
