    The worst pain I've ever felt in my life ... well there's a tie. 1) Charley horses and 2) Migraines. I can survive both so does that mean I'm awesome?

    Charley horses though, man. I make faces and pace and growl when I have those. And migraines just make me feel ill. The only kind of pain i really hate, though, is any kind of internal tummy pain. I get really upset and frustrated with tummy pains.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Pretty dependant on the situation.
    I easily let out some slight groan of pain when i accidentally smash my toe against something for the umpteenth time, and stomach ache is a real killer, but i kept surprisingly quiet when a doctor was cutting my big toe's nail off with bad anesthetics. I think.

    I got a high pain threshold, walking barefoot on asphalt in the middle of a hot-July day doesn't faze me. I feel the pain, but it's really just more of a bother.

    I have a low pain threshold, in that I feel it very easily, but unless it's extreme I have a pretty high tolerence for it, with a couple exceptions. Specifically, if I bite my tongue or cheek I simply cannot deal with it. I completely lose my and I have to beat the hell out of some inanimate object to calm down. Second is knee pain. If I get a knee joint pain I can't handle it at all, I'm crippled until it's better.

    Most of the time I don't bother fighting through stuff because there's no gain to doing so and I like sympathy so I piss and moan when in pain, but if needed I can overcome most pain one is likely to feel in regular life. Aside from the above exceptions if something does take me out, it's more likely to be an accompanying sympton. I can deal with headaches but I'm screwed very hard by any sort of nausea or dizziness, for example.

    I don't think I have an unusual pain threshold, but my tolerance for withstanding pain is pretty decent. I tend to be very dismissive of my own pain, which has more than once when I was younger resulted in me getting hurt even more.

    I've had a kidney stone for a number of years. Before I was diagnosed with it I would have chronic pain all day without any sort of medical painkillers to help me. To give you a comparison having a kidney stone has been compared to giving birth in terms of the pain caused. So yeah, during my life I've been through a total of three years worth of giving birth. Needless to say my pain threshold is high.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Any pain threshold I possess is pretty much completely non-existent.

    I know this from far too much personal experience.

    This. I somehow manage to injure myself a lot but I can handle pain better than I thought I could. The only kind of pain I can't handle very well are headaches, though. Those things are the worst. D:

    The worst pain for me was when I had my wisdom teeth taken out; I had a bad reaction.

    And cramps. x_x

    Pain is a good thing, it lets you know you're alive and that is always helpful. I personally can stand quite a lot of pain but I hate having to do so. It is always better to avoid the pain when I can rather than withstand it. When I was in Egypt I cut my foot on the coral reef at the beach, it got infected and was quite painful. I visited the clinic at my hotel and the doctor there decided he needed to remove a lot of the skin from the sole of my foot around the cut to clean it properly, squeeze the infection out and then to cover it in anti-biotic/anti-bacterial creams. It was a relatively painful and uncomfortable proceedure especially considering how sensitive the area was (the arch of my foot if you must know) however it was well worth it because it made the infection clear up with 24hrs which meant I was able to go back in to the sea and the pool the next afternoon.

    NO I GET THIS TOO.

    Leg cramp feels like you're dying. It actually does.

    Apparently, early this morning at Penguicon, people were dunking their hands in buckets of ice water to see how long they could stand it!
