    My knee seems to be doing well, im very aware of what I need to do to keep it from popping out, I even have a forest gump type brace for hard days at work.

    Last thing I want is to be cut on.

    I know what you mean kinda, though I've never had major surgery.. I kind of like to embrace the pain and feel it in it's fullest, then it's basically a continual relief from there on out.. :D

    I stayed at work for two hours when I broke my wrist and fractured 3 other bones in my arm. When I was 13 I finished a gymnastics competition after fracturing my ankle. I hate pain but have an insane tolerance for physical pain unless it's a tummy ache or a cold then I act like a baby.

    if i'm playing a sport or a competitive game of some sorts, i'll finish the game, pretty much no matter what the injury was. i've continued to play in a soccer game after breaking 3 ribs. i've played soccer with a full hamstring tear. i continued to play 3 games of British Bulldog after i tore my meniscus and then refused help from my friend becasue i couldnt' get up off the ground after the 3rd game had ended because some kid had a bloody nose. when my adrenaline is flowing, i don't feel pain...

    worst pain, for me, was when i fractured one of my front tooth vertically and horizontal and the dentist had to use this huge needle and put it in my gums.

    Yep but they take different paths to the brain. Most go through a reflex arc. That is why you pull your finger out of the fire before your brain knows it is there. However, anything going in through a cranial nerve is mainline. Nothing stands between it and you. For example, the fifth cranial nerve is the trigeminal nerve pain in this is really really bad.



    Trigeminal neuralgia is considered by most physicians to be the most painful condition known to man, and has, in fact, been called the "suicide disease," because this has been the choice of many people who were unable to have their pain controlled with medications or surgery.



    The above is from wikipedia - go at once and give them money

    Dilli is right, childbirth isn't the most painful thing.....yeah it hurts but it's a different kind of pain, and it's over afterwards. Just gone.

    I had some inflamed stitches after the first one (sorry for the TMI) and I couldn't move the pain was so bad. The docs put me back in the hospital after they saw I was burning myself with a hot water bottle to combat the other pain.... Childbirth was nothing in comparison.

    I have a plug in the back of my head, surgically implanted into the pain receptor in my brain. I can plug my machine into it and put all kinds of random electrical impulses or anything i want into it. I have felt the most intense pain possible. and it caused an orgasm

    i have a very high tolerence for pain, but when i broke my back the pain was itteraly unbearable so i was happy for th drugs..but i got off them as quickly as possible..
    even now my back is in a hell of allotta pain often, but i refuse to ever take pain meds.. i either get a backrub or just lie down awhile
    to me the fuzzyness of the pain meds is far worse then the pain..
    i used to even get my teeth drilled with no novaicain cause i hated the numbness worse then the pain..but now i thinki'd rther just be knocked out & not have either..
