Does anyone else have a pain that used to send them to the ER, but now it’s just like a annoying pain? I said this my mom and she was like “that doesn’t happen” so like it happens right? I’m not alone

Yeah…pain tolerances grow. And at least for me, the suddenness of it doesn’t catch me off guard causing anxiety or make me think something horrible is wrong which the stress of that likely made the pain worse and also contribute to me going to the ER. Now, it’s just kind of the daily shit. Nothing to do about it but just endure.

i have fibromyalgia, so my pain tolerance is double that of the average person (this is clinically proven). a five for me is a ten for any regular person. how tf do i explain that i’m probably at a ten and not registering that without getting weird looks? atp my pcp just asks me how bad it’s been but i love her so bad. i’m thankful for her
