Hmmm well How do YOU deal with pain???

What an odd thing to say I said you say. American Heritage Dictionary claims pain is an unpleasant sensation occurring in varying degrees of severity as a consequence of injury, disease, or emotional disorder. This is true obviousley.

But the question is, how do YOU deal with pain. When I scrape my bare leg across the corner of my bed which brings up a bruise in about 30 seconds, I grab my leg and curse once or twice and then start laughing in a slightly high pitched psychotic mode. I know it hurts but for some reason it tiggers me off laughing which makes the pain go away. But another thing I do is put my hand in a sink of water thats pretty much as hot as tap water gets and it burns for a bit but then I just forget about the pain and it goes away. Or when I've bin throwin snow around and my hands go numb, and I bite them, I cannot stand that becuase I know it hurts but its not which freaks me out. When I had my head slammed in a car door that hurt like hell but I was only young.

My theory is that if you get used to the pain instead of thinking oh man this really hurts it for some reason goes away or you can feel it hurting you but you're used to it so it dont hurt. Another was when I didn't have a shaved head and I hid something of my bros and he pinned me down and grabbed my hair and at first he was joking just say 'where is it' but then he got really serious and he was literally ripping some of my hair out of the top of my head and I never snapped by telling him. And a final probably the worst pain I ever got was getting a 1/4 inch splinter up just under the fingernail and it bled like hell. Now that was hard to kkep the pain away but I did it in the end.


So what do you do when it comes to pain ? ? ?

Mm, I just deal with it.

Cramp is horrible heh. Once, I had cramp in my quadricept, and hamstring. To get rid of cramp you have to straighten the affected part, namely my leg. But if you know what muscles im on about, this was impossible.

It hurt for around 20minutes. Cramp for 20minutes is, rather unpleasent heh. Ask someone..

Never pulled a muscle, but people say that it's worser than cramp.

I try to blank the pain off, which usually works. But when the pain is really bad, I do what you do, and that is laugh.

The pain that I hate the most and can't blank out is cramp. It usually happens when I'm asleep in bed. I start rolling about rubbing my leg.

Excellent, I liked that story.

Why a bear would have tusks is beyond me and also, you wouldn't get a bear in the Gulf, maybe if you were playing GOLF in Canada and SAS stood for Special Acrobatic Spanner. It might've worked.

i usually deal with pain by ignoring
back in my sas days i was sent to the gulf of mexico
whilst i was there i was savagely attacked by a wild boar that drove one of his tusks through the side of ribs breaking 5 of them and puncturing my lung.
well do you what i did?
I laughed in the face of pain........
then my mum woke me up and told me it was time for school

I usually swear a lot... then most minor injuries go away.

Oh dear. Sorry. I didn't mean to bring back this topic again if it was going to cause some minor arguements. Seriously, sorry!
