Abnormally high pain tolerance?

I'm the same way, stuff just doesn't really hurt me too much. I think pain is something the brain can easily override especially once you've put yourself in that mind set.

I think a lot of pain is due to fear as well, like when you stuck your hand in the hot water. you knew what it was going to feel like and you were ready for it, also you where probably in a different mind set than if you were walking down the street and someone tossed boiling water on you. It would hurt much more.

Anyways... Pain is supposed to be quick, the body sends pain signals to tell you to get away or stop doing that, so you don't die...

Girls are supposed to have way more pain tolerance the Boys. (you know babies and what not...) but they cry about everything and say it hurts.

Soo I'm pretty much rambling now I'll wrap it up... Pain is an opinion, if you want it to hurt it will. If you don't then it won't (well too much)

So be happy your not a pussy, and try not to experiment with it to much or you'll end up doing something really stupid, like shooting yourself in the liver (4/10 on the pain scale, level 5 liver injury (6 is instant death) I didn't not faint after shot, no drugs or alcohol were used.)

Yes I put parentheses in parentheses...

It does not sound like tolerence to pain if your foot was not in pain after droppong a cinderblock on your it.
I reccomend that you go to a docter about this.

you probably got some neuron damaged, so the pain from the injured site doesn't travel well to the brain. that's what happened in diabetes patients. they step on something, doesn't feel it until the infection spreads through out their body. next thing you know, your legs are gone due to amputation. actually, in diabetes case, it's the circulation. go see a doctor. you need pain to alarm you from further danger.

It's not normal at all, you need to see a neurologist. Pain is a warning sign that you've been injured, if you don't have the warning sign something could be seriously wrong with you and you wont know until it's too late. Go to a doctor asap.

Yeah, get that checked out, dude..

i think its cool and you should definetly look into boxing, UFC, or any other fighting and physical contact sports.

yeah i know exactly what you mean, I'm not big or strong and i definitely don't go out of way to hurt myself, but i find that i can tolerate pain a lot more than other people i know, like i wore a costume once that cut up my arms and feet but i barely noticed it. and then there was another time in where i dropped a pick for a fireplace right on my foot and it was nearly broken but i barely noticed that either.

Not normal. Get help. Pronto!
