Pain Tolerance
It is funny how some people can have the smallest little bump and they cry like babies.
And yet others have very serious injuries and just shake them off.Do you have a high tolerance for pain?

I like to think I have a pretty high pain tolerance but tolerance also depends on my mood
trying to be smart about the pain is probably harder than fighting through the pain
Apparently not. That picture almost made me faint! Not sure if I’m tolerant but I don’t like pain.
No, I don’t.
Though, I wouldn’t mind kicking mathematicalbagpiper/ lynn/ secretbeerreporter down a long flight of stairs.
I’ve endured many posts from you now so the answer is yes.
A broken bone yes, a broken heart no.
For some reason I laugh when I’m in pain. I got stiches once when I was younger and my doctor asked my mum why I was laughing…I dont’ know why it happens but it does. My pain tolerance is probably moderate-high. I’m okay with pain that other people don’t seem to be.
The picture made me cringe! Ugh!
I whine more about my arthritic pinky finger than I ever have about surgical procedures. I seem to tolerate major pains better than minor ones.
to physical pain yes
I guess it’s pretty high, but I’ve never had a serious injury. Though when I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once I just had Novocain. The oral surgeon had to bring out the saw and everything, and he said I was one of the only people that didn’t make him stop at some point.
that’s how I work; shake off serious injuries, but cry like a baby at the smallest bump.
I do. After back surgery (involving 6 pins), I considered myself a 3 out of 10 on the pain scale. =3
I have a very low tolerance for pain
It depends where it is.
I was emo when my brain got messed with because I was stuck in there for 8.5 months. There was no break with the pain. And then the pressure released, which was a super duper big treat.
Usually though, I don’t feel pain for a while. I’ve dealt with a lot of sports injuries, and I’m pretty good about those, but when my head was messed up, I was a baby.
I also like scratching myself sometimes or ripping out my hair. It doesn’t hurt me.
I have a very high tolerance for pain as I read your blog every day.
I cry like a baby whenever I get a paper cut.
I do have a high pain tolerance. I broke my ankle a little over a year ago and didn’t find out it was ever broken until late July (because of an unrelated injury).
I have a reasonable tolerance, I guess. I would much rather feel pain than nausea.
@Rob_of_the_Sky - To be fair though those things really hurt!
I’ve never seriously hurt myself, so I guess I don’t know. I’ve never broken anything and don’t have any serious scars. I’d like to say yes because all the pain I’ve experienced hasn’t really been all that bad. I can be a wussy sometimes.
I can be quite a wuss to be honest, really depends what kind of pain, but i guess i can certainly handle a broken bone.
No
I tore ligaments Sunday night and it made me laugh
Yes but I’m also a masochist
When it’s something inevitable, I somehow steel myself against it enough to make it seem not-so-bad. But if it happens on accident or surprisingly, I freak the heck out. Even if it’s banging my knee really hard.
yep
I’ve been popping vicodin for so long I’ve forgotten what pain feels like.
I would consider so, seeing as how I endured two natural childbirths and I have a tattoo. :p lol
Normal pain tolerance as a young person, after my illness in 2008, I now have an insanely high pain tolerance.
I’ve had four kids so my paid tolerance level must be up there!
Yes.
Though it is odd, I have broken my foot before and it was nothing. But if I stub a toe the pain seems more intense.
I can’t truthfully say that I can laugh at pain, but I can giggle at discomfort.
Having just recovered from a bad abdominal strain, I would say yes. Stretch before you exercise people!
my arm was broken and I sat and read a book in the E.R. and the dr. said,”I’m surprized;it’s broken.” so I guess it’s high.
It’s pretty moderate-high I guess. I’ve done things that have made people cringe. Like I get bikini waxes and don’t flinch. Lol I once sprained my ankle and rode my bike home. Like big things I’m okay with.
Then something as simple and my pricking my finger I like sit there going OWWWW and then I bruise up. Lol so idkkkk. If I stub my toe I keep walking. Bang my hip, I’ll just keep walking. IDK. Haha
my head was split open before from something hitting it, I didn’t even cry as blood started pouring out hahaha.
i would consider my pain tolerance high.
I manage pain pretty well. When I broke my wrist playing softball I finished the game pitching and didn’t even realize how serious the injury was until we were on our way home. Also, I like to watch when I get shots, and I hardly feel them ever. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is a big baby when it comes to shots… and, well, anything. I’ve always thought girls had a higher tolerance for pain
it depends on the injury. i’ve never broken a bone so i can’t say how i’d take that. cuts don’t bother me, but bangs REALLY hurt for some reason.
Curiously a high tolerance for physical pain, low tolerance for emotional pain. I think that has to due with the fact one is antagonized more often than the other … Φ ≡
I’d say I’m in-between. I can take sore muscles and discomfort but if I broke a bone, that’d probably be too much.
I had two open compound fractures in my forearm (the X-ray image was way worse than the one you posted) and my arm was in an S shape, bleeding with the bones protruding. I screamed some curses when I first landed on my arm, and then I was cracking jokes with the EMTs. I’d say I have a pretty high tolerance.
I also was taken out by a cyclist before while running. Ended up with a concussion but finished my run xD
I have a high pain tolerance.
Interesting post. I think I have moderate to high pain tolerance.
I can handle “big” pain–we all can when we have to. The little annoyances like a blister from a shoe or something…I will whine about that.
I do. When I became Christian, they said “you must be crucified”
… that was painful… I’m of course anxious, now… wondering, when will they be coming for me?
That pain is VERY intense… right?
I’ve got your back brother in the flesh.
I’m super klutzy so I’m literally walking into counter corners, doors, walls, tripping over nothing all the time so I get injured off. I always have cuts and bruises but I’d say my pain tolerance is pretty high. I don’t even cry out or say “ow” anymore.
Hmmm, I took labor like a champ… and then, bounced back the next day from my C-section. Think I do ok =]
Extremely high. For discomfort, extremely low. Too hot, too cold- I’m a bitch.
Yes
@LSP1 - OH, SNAP!! Well said!
I do, I absolutely end up in tears either way. I can’t stand pain.
Lets see… My memory says that kidney stones hurt, and dry socket after removal of a wisdom tooth… Had 3 wisdom teeth removed once – and it was not bad. But that dry socket and kidney stones… Those hurt a bit…
I’ve been fighting MMA for two years now. Its amazing how someone punching you in the face doesn’t feel like much anymore! I used to have a super low pain tolerance, and its just slowly getting to a point where my brain accepts that pain is an everyday occurrence for me.
Married with wife and kids……still married with wife and kids and not drinking or doing drugs. Yea
It depends.
Oh definitely low pain tolerance, I can’t think of really any times I’ve demonstrated a high pain tolerance… Average at best
Yup~
Depends on the type of pain. But in general, yes
I once broke my ankle and walked four blocks to get back home. Top that Chuck Norris. lol
It is not true what people say, that if you break your leg or ankle that you won’t be able to walk on it.
