The friend that has a high pain tolerance

[cursedkai]

I feel like people alot of who have chronic pain have insanely high pain tolerances tbh

[ashlynrobison]

My family is like this! And if anyone tells the other to go see a doctor, we’re like “eh, it’s not that bad.” I started listening to my body when I’m in pain and my family thinks I overreact to everything now 😅

[lanafrank]

This is me💀not as extreme but I have a pretty high pain tolerance. One time I literally broke my wrist and almost blacked out, but I didn’t cry and I didn’t tell anybody until I was having trouble falling asleep because of it😅

1:12 Tylenol hospital pretty much the same thing

I have a friend with the highest pain tolerance I’ve ever seen. A few years ago she got one of her horses rolling over unto her foot, she said it hurt a lot and hurt to walk but she didn’t go to the doctor for almost a year until her mother just forced her to(mind you she’s been walking with pain the whole year) and when she got to the doctor the doctor told her that her foot is pretty much crushed with pieces of bone sitting everywhere and the doctor didn’t even know how my friend even was able to walk cus it’s supposed to be so painful. The doctor also told my friend that if she came in earlier it might have been possible to fix her foot with surgery but since she came in so late they couldn’t really fix it. Oh and my friend also has bad knee problems but is probably the most active person I know and in school even tho she had permission not to need to run or do any of those type of activities in PE she almost never skipped them even if it meant running until the pain was so unbearable she cried and needed something for the pain, which knowing her had to hur A LOT. I’ve known her my entire childhood and I have so many stories like these that woman is crazy hahahah

I threw my knee completely out once. I could barely even walk, let alone run. 😂

"Tylenol, hospital, it's the same thing." Oh gosh 😱

[zacharyzeigler]

As someone with chronic pain, I feel this. I forget that the pain I feel on a regular basis most people would go to the emergency room for.

[TheNameIsFa]

Honestly its less of the pain that bothers me and more of the way it looks and what might happen now that I have an injury 😭

[empyie]

This is me lmfao, I almost died one time and I was just like "lol its just pneumonia" and then I woke up in the hospital with an oxygen mask 💀💀💀

[LemonCookies]

that "its behind me" caught me so off guard 😂😂😂

[dreamadept]

when I'm by myself I feel like my pain tolerance is normal, but as soon as I'm in front of people my pain tolerance suddenly increases. I have this weird thing about looking vulnerable in front of other people and have been able to act normally even while in excrutiating pain

[Storyguardian]

And then there’s me with an unworldly low pain tolerance…

[RandomVex]

Sometimes I desired to have no pain

Now I realise I wish pain was a signal, not an alarm

[HaneefahRahmani]

..I trained myself since I was a baby to be pain tolerant ... not kidding LOLL

I had a stress thing when I was younger and a it started with a lot of jaw pain, and I complained to my family... after months of pain (which prob wasn't good) but I handled it and the doctor literally said, "She should be screaming in pain!" He looked shocked and panicked. Idk

My parents are the type that thinks they have to tolerate any pain. My father had such strong migraines, he could barely function anymore, his pills knocked him out completely. But never went to a doctor for a checkup. Yeah, turns out he had high blood pressure which made his migraines so much worse than they had to be.
And that’s how it always goes, never seeing a doctor. And they expect me to do the same and always dismiss any pain I have. But I’ve stopped caring about their opinion in that regard. If they don’t want to listen to their bodies and take care of their health, fine, but I will not do that to myself.

[dapawta]

Honestly? With US healthcare???
Tylenol and the hospital are the same thing. Its just that one's price tag is Much higher

I’m like this, but not as crazy, for example..

When I was in 4th grade so like 9-10 I fell on my wrist and fractured it during recess, but I didn’t cry. I just decided to suck it up and keep playing so I went on to use the swings, and play handball 💀 When I finally went to the nurse my mom picked me up and I said it was fine so she didn’t take me to the hospital. I went to soccer practice later that day. The next day I couldn’t hold up a mini bag of lays potato chips so my mom was like “I need to take u too the hospital” so I went and found out it was fractured 🔥

I have fibromyalgia and I relate to this so much. I was diagnosed when I was 12 and I am 18 now. I've been in excruciating pain my whole life and I don't even notice if I get cut or bruised because the pain is so little compared to fibro. I also get horrid migraines that can't be helped with medication and they last about a week, I get them every month and it is always triggered by strong perfumes. I actually have a migraine now because I went to a restaurant earlier today and a lady that bathed in perfume walked by, I could still smell her even when she was on the other side of the restaurant, it lingered forever. Now I have a booming migraine, I can't think straight, and I have no idea what is going on. I can still function though but sometimes I get horrible brain fog and I sit here in complete silence because I forgot what I was doing. When friends or family say they have a migraine so they cancel plans, I can't help but laugh because I most likely have one the same time as them, and I'm doing just fine. I had severe liver damage and I pushed through the agony, I still exercised, walked my dogs, and preformed life as usual. No one believes me when I say I am in pain due to my high tolerance, no one can tell if I am in pain either. It kinda sucks.

[Mynameis_smiley]

Im that friend but i always laugh at their faces when they are concerned😔💀

I used to be like that for a long time. Learning to acknowledge pain and that my pain is valid was very difficult for me, but when I finally did, things changed drastically for the better for me. I now listen to my body and verbalize my pain and people, doctors especially, take me much more seriously. Just because one has a high pain tolerance does not mean they should dismiss their pain; it's not a badge of honour and when you seek medical help, the nurses and doctors don't really take you seriously.
