Pain Tolerance

[PAGEToap44]

Well I've been extremely fortunate in life that I haven't experienced much pain at all. No broken or fractured bones beyond a finger or two. No deep wounds, piercings, burns or missing nails. Never got into a proper fight with anyone that was more than a playful wrestle. My worst injury was simply a torn ligament in my knee (someone fell on it.) So, in all honesty, I don't know my pain threshold.

Edit: although I forgot about any and all testicular injuries.

And to anyone with a low pain tolerance, don't worry, it's your body's way of telling you there's something wrong. Pain is good, I suppose.

My pain tolerance isn't really all that high. Although I'm not quite sure, I hardly ever hurt myself anymore.

And when I do, it hurts like hell but I'll just grunt a muffled 'fuuuuuuckkkkkkk' while making a weird face and then try to ignore it.

I hate needles. I'm not big, macho man, put it that way. I've had my moments though, like the time when nail went through my foot when I was 14. I actually made a bet with myself whether or not I'd cry, and I didn't.

Aww, yeah. Hurt like a fucker afterwards though. I couldn't walk on it, but it wasn't a big enough injury to justify crutches, so I just sort of hopped everywhere. Fun week at school, though.

Haha, was everyone like "Look at this tard!"?

Pretty much. Although atleast five or so times everyday someone would go "Can I see?", which sort of attracted a crowd. Like I said, fun week.

Depends on the type of pain and whether I'm expecting it.

E.g. I have done some martial arts training that essentially involves dipping cracked and split hands in a vinegar based medicine numerous times. Despite this, a migraine will have me curled in a ball under a blanket, mewling like a kitten and reaching for anything that will remove the pain.

Well, I take pans out of hot ovens with my bare hands, but that's pretty par for the course as a cook. You build up a tolerance to the heat and it becomes harder to burn yourself.

I never ask for anesthesia when I see the dentist, I can deal with the drill/scalpel without. I would rather save the moolah than pay extra for the drugs, everyone seems to cringe at the thought of tooth pain but I can't say it's ever bothered me in a big way.

Other than that, once had 3/4" tree branch snap off and pass entirely through my left thigh in a fall. I stood up, pulled it out, walked to the infirmary and poured disinfectant over the wound. It missed the nerves and arteries and all that important crap so I got six stitches on either side and it itched for a while. I really can't recall ever feeling any pain from that wound. Weird.

I've never had any major bouts of pain before.. I suppose the worst experience I've had was my second tattoo, and although it didn't hurt all that much, having that jabbing sensation for 5 hours got me very moody.
