    I hate pain My top ten list of owwies include:

    1. Uterus cramps
    2. Migraines
    3. The sunburn I suffered while on my Schoolies week in the Whitsundays
    4. The time I went over the handlebars and snapped my front tooth
    5. The time Mum tried to streak my hair at home
    6. Breaking a fingernail (don't laugh. When they're as long as mine, it freaking canes.)
    7. General stomach aches that won't go away no matter what you do
    8. Being dumped at the beach and getting salt water up your nose and down your throat and sand all in your eyes and ears
    9. Waxing
    10. Sinus blockages

    I just remembered that sharp pains (getting a paper cut, cut with a knife, that weird sensation when hitting your head hard on the floor etc) makes me go "Ow" and it hurts for a second, even if it's tolerable.

    I don't think I have a very high threshold for pain, though I also have no desire to find out. When I go into labor there will be drugs, dammit. Other than that I do my best to avoid pain.

    I can generally "get through" pain. I don't know about a threshold as, really, I can't compare myself to other people as I don't know if they experience it differently or anything. The worst pain I've experienced would probably be testicular torsion. I've been run over before which involved the muscle and bones being literally ground/ripped away from my leg under a tyre, and I've been punched in the balls, too. But neither are on par with testicular torsion, which at it's extremes is just... urgh. So bad.

    I tend to just get rather introverted and focused when experiencing pain. And, naturally, a little bit aggressive. I do not enjoy pain on any level.

    EDIT: You never knew other people get leg cramps? xD Do you mean you genuinely thought you were the only one? Hahaha. Oh Zeldy. *hug* Yes, I've had leg cramps, too. Toe cramp is worse - you know, when your toe looks like it's been disconnected? Or maybe my toes genuinely do disconnect. =| Hmm. I wonder. Either way, it sort of flicks up and stays stiffened there (that wasn't supposed to sound dirty >_>; eh heh) and causes mucho pain. You can't walk until it finally relaxes. That's probably in the top five pain experiences I can think of, actually.

    I think typically I deal with pain fairly well. One of the most painful things I did (Or had done to me, I guess) was some one ploughing into the side of my motorbike; really messed up my left leg, but instead of raging or screaming I just sort of went into this completely mellow state. I just sat there thinking "Hell, I bet that looked freaking awesome." - I don't know if that's dealing with pain well or not.

    I have injured both myself and the tickler in these situations

    Mine once stuck for about five minutes, it was pretty crap. Some of them aren't that bad, but sometimes it's just horrible.

    My little cousin planted his foot right between my legs earlier today. Funny how it had to happen for me to remember the worst pain of all time!

    Pain is your bodies way of saying "Stop doing that! It's Bad!"

    Doesn't stop it from being annoying though
