@thepainnpchenlow: Pain threshold vs pain tolerance. Two separate things #chronicpain #tolerance #threshold #overreacting

Colin PT/DPT@ Restorative Road :

It's crazy how many providers don't realize there are a lot of people who never have 0/10 pain levels. I've had several students that had to be taught to ask patients about baseline pain instead of assuming it was 0

Cindy :

There is no stopping the pain😳

CathyHammertop :

I learned from a tiktok the sentence "please don't mistake my high tolerance for low pain".

Amy Laraman :

I hate that this is so misunderstood. My pain right now is 8/10 however because I'm still managing to walk ect I'm apparently not in pain. However I live every moment of my life in pain. What do you want me to do? Sit in the corner and rock?

Nikki's 3 Dutch Cats 🇳🇱 :

I walked funny in December, because I fell down the stairs and hurt my left foot. Went to the doctor yesterday. Turned out I had tendonitis in my right foot since December, because I walked differently to take care of my left foot. It's May now. Oops? 😳

Tiffany Simmons :

I’m going to take this video to my next pain management appointment. Thank you for explaining!

Mooncrow Magic & Tarot :

Thank you 🖤

FruitLoop :

thats so helpful. thank you.

Pia J :

You make perfect sense.

StregaNona :

Thank you for explaining this for people. I am often not believed when I tell providers, in a calm voice, that I’m in pain all the time.

iamsamiam117 :

this makes sense, for me I'm now recovering from my second surgery this year but after 3 years n multiple Drs telling me it's not that bad because I didn't want to be hooked on pain pills essentially

Dana Hardy :

After natural child birth and a mastectomy and DIEP Flap l, in one surgery, I have a different pain scale than most.

Audrey GB :

my pain went past ten today, I went home from work

flibbertygibbe :

I will say these words to my doc next time.

Val Hampton :

So true

Gemz :

It’s like because we are so gaslit n because we have to look after kids etc we HAVE to push through not coz it doesn’t hurt or because we are BRAVE but out of necessity 😢

roxyannstarkey :

I am ecstatic when my head pain is at a 5 and below!! I’m able to actually function at that level and I usually only see it for a few hours in the morning and then it’s just up up up

RobynRoo🇨🇦 :

I am hyper sensitized now, sadly. It’s really challenging.
