It used to be very low

But I got my MRI report last week
It’s two pages long
Everything that can be wrong with a leg is wrong with mine

And yet I feel absolutely no pain

Even the doctor called to ask how is it possible that I can walk

I don’t know how.
But I feel nothing

  I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's nothing a good surgery can't solve. The body has an amazing ability to adapt. So you might feel discomfort in the beginning but than even that discomfort goes numb. I know what you mean because I've been told the same thing many many times. And I don't know if in the long term it's such a great thing because pain is a tell tale sign that you have a problem and if you don't feel anything how will you know?

  Thank you.
  
  I do feel some discomfort, I will know if something goes wrong.
  
  And yes I’m very hopeful for the surgery
  
  But not looking forward to the recovery at all haha

  That's a very long time!! Let me know the day you'll have the surgery. I want to at least keep you company virtually through this. 🙃

  Thank you. As impossible as it may seem I do care about you and so as any good friend or more I do want to be by your side even if it is just virtually and support you and make you feel less alone.
  
  I look forward to hearing how tomorrow goes. 🙃

My tolerance for pain is probably higher than most people. I'm betting most people would consider what I can tolerate and keep going a 10. I've actually had days where I was amazed when I realized I was completely pain free. No illnesses. I just push this body hard and break it occasionally.

4 or 5, depending on where the pain is located and what kind of pain. A dull throbbing pain on a tooth for example, I can be a 7, no more. A sharp pain in the lower back will make me go limp.

1. I cry and whine like a drama queen for 2 days if I even get a splinter or a hint of the sniffles for that matter. Which I'm getting now and I'm sure I'm going to die. 😳

It depends on why the pain is being applied. I once went to a ceilidh after breaking my ankle playing football. I thought it was a sprain. Drove 2 x 30 mins then had 1 Guinness and danced (hobbled) around for 90 mins. Next morning I had a grapefruit sized ankle that was purple and had to be driven up to hospital to have surgery to reset it.

I was married to a pita for 10 years and just broke things off with a pita after two years… so I’d say my tolerance is fairly high. 😂

Probably around 8-9 physical pain tolerance. If it's internal, I'm a little bitch.
