Pain-tolerance Survey

Post Reply New Topic

My tolerance for pain is very high and always has been.

i have a very high pain tolerance.

I'm not sure really. I think I'm just pretty average with pain. I don't know how pains can be less or more in Aspies than NTs because different pains affect different people in different ways.

This is an interesting but tricky question. I am hypersensitive to pain, but I'm also highly tolerant to pain. Does it make any sense?
After many many years of feeling pain (migraines, chronic fatigue and fibromialgia) I concluded that I am highly tolerant, or my brain has increased my threshold to feel pain or it has adapted to the situation in a way that I no longer care...
BTW, I have been stuffed with so many pain killers in my childhood/adolescence that now I cannot take an aspirin or paracetamol or virtually any drugs (includind alcohol and illicits). They give me more non-desired side effects than the desired ones...

Hey thanks, guys

I was also wondering - what about good sensations? Does it tie into anything else (stress, sleep, hydration...)?

Unusually insensitive (when it comes to pain, not feelings ).

Apparently I have a high tolerance to temperature. I can eat piping hot food and drink hot drinks very quickly. People have often said I have "an asbestos mouth". I can also touch very hot things without too much pain that others can't bare to handle.

I tend to surprise people when I do things like this. Maybe I could be a fire eater or perform feats such as walking over hot coals.

I am a mixed bag in this regard. Pain comming from external sources, like being hit, cut, falling, bruises, stuff like that, I have a stupidly high tolerance to. Pain in my guts, like belly aching, or headaches, I am super-sensitive to.

When it is physical pain I have a very high tolerance... I've broken several bones and never needed any pain killer. nor did I need any for abscessed teeth. Wiped out on bicycles at 30mph and felt very little pain... I am never stopped by injury pain. but some injuries did stop me.. Like broken leg... The only pain I have really felt was where the doctors operated on my knee to fix my leg... Funny how that hurt, but I didn't need pain killers..

I don't feel pain from self injury either.

When it is mental pain I hve no tolerance...Pain from loud noise is has none. Those pain can be so bad all I think about is death to get away from it.. Memories can also cause pain, very bad pain.

I never had Novocain until I was an adult. I always let the dentist drill my teeth with out it. I also let doctors put stitches in my chin without any pain reliever. I was afraid of the needles.

i'm both hyper sensitive to most pains, VERY sensitive to minor pains most people would shrug off, but then again i'm half numb to a few kinds of pain. i can fall and have my head bounce off the ground, get up and keep going hardly feeling anything.

I have a very high pain tollerence. I can feel small pains but they don't bother me. I broke my wrist and laughed it off, I only realized 6 hours later when someone suggested me and my swollen purple blob go to the hospital.

Extremely high tolerance for pain.
