What's your tolerance to pain?

Ok, here's my story. Last Thursday I had surgery to repair a broken bone in my hand. The doc did a bone graph. Took the bone out of my right wrist and put it in the little bone that is broke. Then he put a pin in the same bone he grafted. The incision is about an inch long on the inside of my wrist. The first few days were quite painful! Now the pain is more annoying. It's just a constant hurt that makes me want to cut off my hand. Here's the kicker...the pain killers he gave me are a joke! They are the low dose loritabs. I only had a script for 60. Shit, I ate half that bottle the first few days! WTF—? The dude cut me open, extracted bone, reinserted bone, screwed a pin in bone,sews me up then throws me a few pity pills! I need a drug dealer!

I can and am tolerating the pain. It just makes me frustrated and grumpy. I yell alot these days. How well do you tolerate pain?

P.S. Not bad for a one handed typist-huh?

wish you luck with your recovery Play.

pain something i cannot define.i believe everyone has their own pain threshold.

Thaanks devil!

LOL gt! The worst is trying to make dinner for the kids. I cant!!! They need to do it while I stand over them. lol

I love watching those baby stories on tlc. Where first time mothers are insistant on natural childbirth. "It's best for the babies...blah blah". Then they get in the delivery room and start screaming. They finally break down and get the epidural. HAHA morons!!!!! Drugs are good!!!

JP call the damn doctor girl and tellhim that the pain is not going away with the prescription he gave you and see if he can call a resupply of something else to the pharmacy that you used.

IF that don't work then find a drug dealer that is selling either oxycotton, or precocets,valium, etc.

Hey SL, yeah I got my "dealer" getting me some as we speak.

What's your tolerance to pain?

Depends on what kind.

Hey JP,

And to answer your question, I have not tolerance to pain...When I was in labor, I got an epiderol, for the contractions...but then that did not work because I still felt pressure so they had to put me to sleep...in and all operations I have I get put to sleep

SL, I love you! You always reply to my threads!

I just had one friend stop by and give me a few percocet 10's. I washed that down with a glass of cabernet. I have no pain!!!!!

But seriously, not that anyone is reading this thread, but what is your threshold for pain? SL has zero tolerance. I feel like I have an average tolerance. P-Angel wants to know what kind of pain.

OK, say you had a tooth infected. Or fell down and hurt your foot to the point you cant walk and it's the size of a house. Do you cry like a baby and make such a fuss you scare the neighborhhod, or do you act like it's nothing and not worry anyone until you can get it looked at? My mom is a scorp and you would NEVER know she was in pain. Her philosophy was it's not worth crying over spilt milk. How do you handle pain?

SL, I love you! You always reply to my threads!

Hey what are friends for...lol

Ok, Juju .. I'll be serious. When I said what kind of pain, I was horny at the time from talking about sex with Blingy .. so, I was thinking about fun pain 😉

Threshold to pain for me is this: Cuts, punctures I can barely notice .. headaches & muscles cramps I cry like a baby .. toothaches & earaches I cry. But, the worse ever for me in my life was bladder spasms, I thought I was dying.

Broken bones hurt pretty bad .. but, tolerable with alcohol.

How about trying whiskey? Just get drunk and you won't notice.

I did. I took a few percies (percocets) with a few glasses of wine. A fine cabernet sauvignon by the vinyards of Clos Du Bois. I'm feeling no pain right now!!!! 😉

Well after having 2 babies...I found I have a relatively low pain threshold...I managed the labour part easy peesy pooh...walked for over 24hrs in labour with 2nd bebe!

But both pregnancies resulted in emergency c-sections...OWWWWWW!!!! Totally PAINFUL...I hated it!!!!!

Just thinking of it makes me OUCH!

I am a wuss... Pretty much no tolerance to pain. It hurts! I like to viewit as having a distinct aversion to masochism...

"I love watching those baby stories on tlc. Where first time mothers are insistant on natural childbirth. "It's best for the babies...blah blah". Then they get in the delivery room and start screaming. They finally break down and get the epidural. HAHA morons!!!!! Drugs are good!!!"

Yeah, I am not entirely certain I could do it WITH the epidural. From what I have heard, even with the epidural, it hurts like a bitch... Without one? Oh, hell no!

ask for Ultram. its not as intense as vicodin, but is serotonergic and will keep you happy. 😉

LOTS

Well, I have a pretty big tolerance for pain. I have a twelve inch scar on my stomach from liver donation surgery (gave liver to my mom). Boy, that felt like a mack truck hit me. I also have two tatts. But a paper cut hurts, seriously......

It depends on the type and where. I broke my sternum without much more than a concerned look on my face. Horizonal fracture with the top actually resting on the bottom a bit. The adrenaline was pumping so I was fine, fine enough to continue sparring seesions. Then a couple days later the soreness really sucked, I hate the moderate dull or intermittant pain. It seems the more intense and sudden the easier it is for me to deal with.

I have broken several bones unknowingly because "I thought it should hurt more if it's broken" but later the dull throbbing that came was way worse for me than the actual breaking. Whenever something happens in the heat of the moment I get dazed if anything but not much more. The pain comes way later. I think the most painful pain possible, in my eyes is voilently broken floating ribs. I don't care who you are, your going down.

But then a bad headache will make me wine like a little bitch. So. It is differen't for everyone I think.
