I can’t stand pain. I have a very low threshold for pain, and cannot tolerate it whatsoever. I used to be called the “Tazmanian Terror” when I had to get a shot as a kid. Matt sent in the following tips to help us all deal with pain a little better.

  • Eat lots of veggies and fruits, and drink lots of water and 100% juice. All this does is makes you healthier and stronger, and being healthy could help in suppressing pain.
  • Make yourself very observant. If you fall while jogging and skin your knee, concentrate on something else besides anything directly or indirectly associated with the pain. Maybe a nice Chysler drove by. Focus on that and take in its beauty. Before you know it, you won’t feel the pain as much, and you can walk home and treat your injury.
  • Give yourself an oblivious “on and off switch”. Even though this sounds stupid, try to be able to make yoursself oblivious to absolutely everything at any time. If you have pain, making yourself oblivious to it will help you to pretty much forget about the pain, even though it is still there.
  • Push through the pain. If you hurt yourself, pay no attention to it (unless it is a serious injury). Sometimes when I am playing soccer or football, and I get laid out, I skin my hips and bump my head, etc., and it hurts. But just stand up, brush yourself off, and keep playing. Pay no attention to the pain.
  • DO NOT BE A DRAMA QUEEN. If you sit there saying, “OMG, I think I broke my leg! I need an ambulance! Help!”, when you simply got a kick to the shin.. you are a Drama Queen. I think being a drama queen can actually intensify (for lack of better words) the phsycology of pain, tricking yourself into giving your body more pain, in turn, making it hurt more. And, when nobody pays attention to you, it could be quite embarrassing.
  • Do not take any commercially available pain killers, as they interfere with your body’s nervous system. I do take Advil when I get a headache, and I take medicine when I get a cold. However, I don’t take Advil when I have minor injuries.
