How do you react to pain?

I'll give you a damn good reason... THE PAIN!

Yes. That is my main category...

I tend to react with anger, which is very odd seeing as how i'm usually a very mello guy. (It really suprises people) or oddly enough i tend to laugh. This really weirded the other kids out when i was younger. I'd get hurt doing something stupid and start cracking up. I had no explanation at the time and still don't really.

I broke my clavicle this summer. Basically lots of swearing. It did hurt, I did suffer but what made me mad was the possibility of the clavicle not healing properly & not the injury itself.

I try to ignore pain

 

[lRookiel]

It depends, if someone else inflicted the pain then I would get angry, if it were stubbing my toe I'd just shout Fuck! or Shit!

 

[Farotsu]

Depends. At times people see me hit my elbow, head or something somewhere and ask me something like "Didn't that hurt?" and I go like "What?" but when it really hits somewhere painful I usually react quite strongly.

Type 1 pain- Stubbing a toe, belly flop in the pool, running into a door, etc...

I acknowledge that the pain is, in fact, there. I don't react to it though. Might say "ow", but then I just move along like nothing happened.


Type 2 pain- severe muscle cramps, paper cuts, and other minor but continuous sources.

I acknowledge the pain is there just like with the first case, and don't over react to it. There is usually a fair bit of hopping around on the one leg that isn't cramped up, but other than that, everything is normal. Same with a paper cut- after minor treatment, move along.

Type 2.5- Minor burns

I get some soothing burn cream, rub it on the area, and then continue on with my day. Except for that one time I stepped on a red-hot coal with a lot of pressure. That resulted in a scream, more hopping around on one foot for a few minutes, and not walking for the rest of the day.

Type 3- Splitting pain.

I acknowledge the pain is there, and sit emotionless for an hour in the doctor's office not saying a word or giving any indication of how F'in bad it hurts until they call me back.


Type 4- Broken bones, etc...

Never had this kind.


I don't like pain, but I can take a bit of it, and don't like to show that I'm hurt unless I'm *really* hurt.

I get to deal with pain every morning when I wake up thanks to going ass over tea kettle down a flight of stairs and royally fucking over my back. I deal with that and other of life's pain with prescription drugs, copious amounts of prescription drugs. Thank you Dr Yoder!

 

[Darius Brogan]

Surprised you didn't list the people who scream "OH YOU FUCKING GYPSY WHORE!" when they get hurt.

Hehehe, I've never heard anyone yell that after getting hurt, but I'll keep it in mind if I decide to pose this question on other forums.

Um, they're angry cause their injured...
Anyways, this is kinda me, I'll hurt something, clench my teeth and growl. It's like "biting the bullet".

I'm not talking about getting pissed off and griping about their injury. I'm talking more about the kind of people who, say, stub their toe, or bash their dead on a door-frame, and then promptly punch a tree or their bedroom wall until their knuckles bleed... or in one case I know of, crack.

That's not indicative of being angry at pain, because by doing so, you're inflicting more pain upon yourself.

Last time I really hurt myself, my left-ringfinger was jammed between a metal dumpster and a moving semi-forklift, tearing the skin on my lower knuckle and showing bone.
Reacted by yelling a few choice words, clutched the finger above the wound and went to find the first-aid kit.
Luckily I didnt hit a vein so bleeding wasn't so bad and the pain wasn't either, but I have to say that the second I let myself look at the wound, I got a bit queesy (which isn't uncommon from what I've gathered).
Ended with 5 stitches and a scar shaped like a squigly J.

I can tell you this, I don't react well to pain. Nothing like screaming and crying. I just tend to get very silent. Usually right before I wind up biting someone's head off for crossing my path when I am in pain. Never really their fault though.

 

[deus-ex-machina]

I swear a lot if it's sharp sudden pain like stubbing your toe.

I get bloodlust if it's as above but someone's fault but can always control myself or have done so far.

If it's stamina related like carrying weights or jogging, I just keep going and ignore it until I almost want to die when I stop and relax.

 

[quhouv vhqwiufv qwiu]

I react according to the damage. If it's serious damage like the time I had an iron bar fall on my head (and ended up in hospital) I will be swearing. However if the damage is small and something my body can easily recover from I don't care.

 

[SD-Fiend]

I act like it hurts. i'l just say there for a second and make a constipated face till i can sit down.

 

[Sansha]

If I'm coherant:
After recovering from the initial shock of the injury, I examine the damage and deduce whether or not it requires medical attention, and how to treat it until then.

If I'm barely conscious:
"Nnyyeh... neh! H..heeeelllp!"
Do what I can to move myself to somewhere I'll be noticed and attended.

And that would be me.

As i've said before, i've been shot, stabbed, blown up and been in more fights than I could wiggle a kitten at.

I've been in pain thats incredibly excruciating and while it does hurt like a *****, for some reason it pisses me off.

...blown up?

Not "literally" as in limbs flying everywhere.

I was in a troop transport truck in Afghan that was hit with an RPG (rocket propelled grenade before someone asks if Final Fantasy attacked the truck). Made a hell of a mess of my left leg and fortunately that was it. Was thrown off the back and came to the realisation that when it comes to hitting the floor, i'm about as graceful as a limp lettuce. Just kinda belly flopped, cat like reflexes I do not have. Still hurt like fuck though.

All I can recall from when I started shooting at the prick that hit us was being incredibly pissed at him for ruining a tattoo i'd recently got on that leg. And shooting from the position i'd landed in gave me a bruise the size of a bloody cabbage on my shoulder which annoyed me aswell. Even worse when my youngest daughter was with my wife visiting me in hospital and she kept poking it ... bloody kids.

OP: Mix between 1 and 8. A while ago my mom accidentally hit me in the head with a porcelain plate. Pretty hard I might add. She was flipping out saying how sorry she was getting the only reaction from me of "Mom it really doesn't hurt that much." I had to sit down, but I had quite the adrenaline rush. Hurt later though.

 

[Michael Hirst]

Depends. Severity of the damage has nothing to do with the amount of pain felt really. There's been lots of research to suggest that tooth ache hurts more than having your arm blown off.

The most severe injury I've had is my head being cut open (skull didn't break though) which poured with blood (minor artery was cut) and had to be stitched shut but none of it hurt at all. Meanwhile ingrowing toenails were absolute agony and the slightest imapct with them was followed by an eruption of swearing.

 

[Something Amyss]

My nervous system is a bit screwed up, and I react to light stimulus worse than heavy stuff.

It also means I'm more likely to whine more about bashing my toe on something than from a major wound.

I got a massive quad tear a couple years ago and was up walking around on it because it didn't seem to hurt severely enough to merit much caution. Give me a paper cut, though, I'll whine like a toddler.

 

[everythingbeeps]

Whatever pain I have, I do this.


Why? Because it feels good and it annoys some people.

Can't believe it took so long for someone to post this. I expected it to be #1 or 2.

Though in all honesty, I was gonna post the one where Lois fell and hurt her boob.
