Is physical pain a common occurrence in your life?

Pain has never been something that bothered me.
Things rarely hurt and even when they do I just shrug them off.
You get to a stage where you're just so used to pain that you stop caring and become numb to it.
 
i am in pain every min of every day

it would be weird to not have any
 
No. Sometimes I'm sore from doing things, but never constant pain. Maybe an occasional headache.
 
Not generally, no. My shoulders can be problematic, but as long as I keep them stretched properly there's no real pain. I have a family member with chronic pain issues, and it's not something I ever want to have to deal with personally.
 
i do not have chronic pain. right now, there is a pain in my mouth that hurts like a motherfucker. i've hurt my knee. i bump into shit. i stub my toes. my pains are occasional and rather predictable.
 
From what?

If it's private, like Penuche's, no worries.

i have various health issues that makes life rough

but most of the immediate pain comes from the knees that i ruined when i became addicted to running, the upper back pain from the time i was rear ended, and the lower back pain from when i got hurt at work
 
I use hypnosis to turn pain off.

Many years ago I had my wisdom teeth pulled with hypnosis alone. I felt some pressure but no pain.
 
Back pain is, but I try not to think about it. I forget how much until I have surgery for something else, or am prescribed codeine for a cough, for examples. A broken tooth or a kidney stone is an effective distraction, too. Now if it's all the same to you, I'm getting out of this thread.

Back in 2009, I had a pulled muscle in my neck that refused to heal. I volunteered to be put under hypnosis at a meetup.com meeting and the hypnotist gave me a mental "pain dial" that would allow me to lower the pain with each "click", from 10 down to 1 ("but never zero, you never want to prevent your body from telling you of an emergency").

I'll be damned if that didn't work perfectly for me....I'd actually forgotten about that episode until your post.

Yes, you don't wanna get rid of it all, in case the medical problem gets worse.
 
Yes.
There are days that I barely get through, without a lot of counting the seconds, taking them one at a time.
 
Depending on what sort of thing I'm doing I might find myself at lacerations, abraisions and bruises but I generally notice the extent to which I've injured myself after I get around a cleaning up from whatever it is I was doing.

I have always had a fairly high pain threshold and that makes debriding cleansing and closing wounds a lot easier. I'd always much rather have the sharp pain of getting it very clean then the annoying throb of infection later.

Actual broken bones are the worst but It generally takes high-velocity impact to break anything on me. I've been fairly lucky several times when I probably could have broken something I ended up just a little bruised. All I've ever broken was one pinkie, my tibia and fibula, a bit of my trochanter, and the head of my radia.
 
24/7. With the exception for a short 2hr period Fentayl and Versed during a procedure a few years ago, it has been this way for decades.

Part of it is from two drunk driver injuries, part from surgery scar tissue, and part because I have been blessed with something that gives me movable pain in random places.
