At it again!

A low pain threshold saves you a lot of pain. I have the opposite problem, and am also very refractory to anesthetics.
I had only two surgeries, one for a badly broken thumb, needing screws and surgery, and one for tonsils at age 38.
First time, I told them all they were doing, until they injected something in my IV and I just passed away.
Second time, after pumping the standard dose into me, I was awake like before. So they just “killed me” again by IV.

I wish I had a lower pain threshold...

Think about this:

Do I have a low pain threshold?
Imagine someone who rarely feels pain (high threshold) but then has a major injury. Because they have little experience dealing with pain, their tolerance might be low. Meanwhile, someone who is in pain all the time (low threshold) may be able to function even at high pain levels if a major injury were to occur.

It all sorta comes down to Experience to rate Tolerance. And either of the two comes from a event causing Pain.
I've had 13 Orthopedic surgeries and from those and other misc injuries I've learned one thing. Being around someone complaining about their Pain, will only make you feel worse .

You'll be back to in no time. Most of us are to old to be in a hurry unless we have 2 or 4 wheels under us.
