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 ? ? ?

*laughs*

you people don't know what your talking about.

Have any of you ever been close to someone who is in pain all of the time?
If you were you would realise how impossible it is to ignore, even if that is what you want more than anything in the world.

You have touched a nerve. I shouldn't continue to discuss this.

Applying electrical gonadial shocks to oneself, whilst taking a bath, will build up a good resistance to pain. Also it will ensure an invigorating sensation that will leave you refreshed and ready to face the rigours of the day.

Plus it is guaranteed to burn off any smegma, which keeps the winky gleaming clean.

Pain is like a child that has become feral due to extremely bad parenting.

Ignore it and it usually goes away.

It's nothing to do with hurting yourself - leave that for Goths.

I mean mental conditioning, to train yourself to accept that pain is electrical impulses and nothing more. Like if you go for a blood-test or tattoo, sure it stings for the 1st few seconds but after a while your mind gets used to it and it just fades away.

repeated stimulation of many pain receptors can actually lower the firing threshold. Practicing hurting yourself to improve your pain threshold would not be advisable.

Thoses of you with High thresholds should count yourself very lucky.

I have an extremely high pain threshold to be honest. And this can be increased with practice.

I'm sorry to bring back an oldish post, but I couldn't help myself! :)

I don't deal with pain too good. I have a mental! But that's only for the small things like standing on an upturned plug or accidentely touching an iron or oven.. or cramp :)

But the worst pain I felt was when I had a car crash at 12. It was a dirty disgusting feeling. Horrible, horrible! I don't know why I use the words dirty and disgusting, I think because of that feeling you get in your chest afterwards. That burning feeling all over your chest and lungs. Just feels like its been taken over by something.. dirty.
Those of you who have had a car crash might know the feeling.

God, it's all come flooding back to me now. I remember opening the door and getting out then falling to the ground. That's when I discovered my new emotional mental side! I started crying 'uncontrollably' at that crushing pain making it hard to breathe, but I still got up at went to the driver's door to get my nan out, but the damn door wouldn't open, it was jammed shut from where the other car had hit it. That's when I started screaming "Get out, please get out!" Obviously thinking my nan had died(because she wasn't moving, eyes closed, holding her chest) and thinking the car was going to blow up (thats how vulnerable I was!), but there was a lot of steam!!
Then as the ambulance arrived(pretty damn quick!), I freaked out again, because I've got a fear of ambulances and hospitals! :)

But I think I forgot all about that pain, because I was more worried about everything else that was going on.

Anyways, that was pretty pointless, but I felt I had to contribute! :)

Lots of food and about 7 pinets of beer should get rid of pain.

physical pain is not really pain at all (except in extreme circumstances), it is only a discomfort. Real pain is finding out you only have £2.00 when a pint costs £2.20 .......
