Can you improve your pain tolerance through repetition?

I think I have a low tolerance for physical pain because as a child I never got sick, or exercised or broke any bones or tore any ligaments while I exericised my brain like a maniac, I never exercised my body. I think I have a very low tolerance for physical pain. This year I got the stomach flu and became so depressed from the illness that I began to wish I was never born. I want to increase my tolerance for physical pain by exericising and going out of my way to do things in the gym that I consider to be painful. It might also prepare me for child birth which everyone says is painful.

Yes, your tolerance goes up. When I first got a kickboxing stand in high school my shins would bruise up and it would be a pain to punch the stand even with gloves, now my shins don't bruise up and I can kick it a lot harder than before.

I think it is different from other physical pain caused by hurt during sports, so it may does not work.
You may attend some yoga classes, which will help you on pain and some other issues.
But these are only my guesses

If it is same sort of pain yes, it kinda numbs you after several time but if it is different type of pain you would still find them painful

I agree! This is true

@ThisGurl :D yay

There's no preparing for child birth pain; it only gets slightly easier.

The stomach flu makes most people wish the same thing.

Yes pain resistance is able to be learned.
