I feel like I am a whimp when it comes to pain. I can't stand it. My back hurts, my hips hurt, my head hurts. It drives me bonkers. But then I remember the times I was told "You're doing great, most people are screaming by now." and I think "Really?" Then I wonder if I should be more concerned about my pain, because apparently my tolerance is higher than I thought it was.
One person can really know what pain is to another person. I hate the 1-10 scale for pain, because I always think: "To me it may only be a five, but that does not mean I should not be treated as if it is a 10, because it may be that serious."
