As someone with very low tolerance for pain, this seems like my worst nightmare. I’m curious though, did your tolerance for pain increase over the years as you had to endure it?
Decreased, if any. I think it’s probably because I know nothing has ever worked. FWIW I am old and get a major operation every two or three years: hernia, cancer, hydrocele, etc. I have no problem dealing with that kind of pain, even when it is considerable, which is often true post-op.
