How do people train themselves to endure/reduce pain?!


Question: How do people train themselves to endure/reduce pain!?
My own theories of the intensity of pain are that it's mostly mental awareness and perception of pain itself!. For example, two guys, one about to saw through your arm, the other through your penis(lol) The pain you'd mostly likely concentrate on would be the pain below, the pain of your arm would feel insignificant, maybe completely ignored, because your obviously paying attention and fearing of losing your meatpole(:P)!.

So my question is what psycological factors play a part in the amount of pain you're feeling, what impact fear and past experience of pain have on the sensation!.

I'm just curious about this topic because pain is a vital warning from the body that something is wrong, the more lethal the sub-concious and the body perceive the pain, the more extreme it will feel, Is there anyway your concious self could learn to endure physical pain that would knock out another person!? If so, how long,!?

This is only for personal understanding and third party perspective!.

Answers:
You are correct!. The brain is classed as a organ, but unlike the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, the brain has no pain receptors, so therefore allows Neurosurgeons to operate on the Brain while the Patient is wide awake!. Instead the brain perceives pain and we all know that perceptions can be deceptive!. On the one hand we have a safety net due to feeling pain, but in other situations, when the system goes wrong, we end up living with pain 24/7! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis for almost 30 long years and have to live everyday with pain!. On a scale of 1-10, it ticks over at 8, but I can handle it!. An example, if you purchased a pair of shoes, one is size 6 and the other the correct size 7, well one foot is not going to be happy, sitting in a small shoe all day!. So you will feel pain!. However you have the option of returning the size 6 shoe and getting the pair, size 7!. But if you succumb to Arthritis, you do not have that option, you cannot return or swap, you have it, if you like glued on, so how do you deal with it!? Well I reckon you would probably limp, might decide not to put the foot to the ground, perhaps use a crutch or even a wheelchair, all because you have a size 6 shoe!. However, given enough time, pain and inflammation, you will learn to live with a odd size shoe, honest! Reason, you have no choice, so you adapt and the body is excellent at adapting and improvising!. Fear plays a large role in pain, because we fear dying and when in pain that you do not understand, you think your are dying!. That is why they say 'The BIG C or the small c' rather than say 'Cancer' because that single word fills people with fear!. Past experience, I broke my ankle once and that was pretty painful for about one week, especially if I had the leg rested up on a chair!. Putting the leg on the floor, oh the pain! However, broken ankle compared to Arthritis, the later is more painful and extended pain!. Arthritis compared to a prolapsed disc, the former is more prolonged pain, while a disc would be immedicate intense pain!. I have just attended a Pain Management Course and they teach all kind of aspects to dealing with pain, from self-talk, distraction technique, to relaxation and these are the 'mind games' you can learn to distract the brain from the perception of pain!. Laughing we produce happy chemicals which are normal pain killers, so you can self medicate just by laughing!. So you can learn psychological factors to help you deal with the pain, but it takes time and effort, while popping a pain pill is so much easier and that is the real problem!. We live in a Society of the quick fix!. Hope that helps!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

can you knockout another person by enduring pain!?!?!?!? what!?!!?! It is possible for one to block out any pain they are feeling by controlling their own mind but how could you knock out someone else by enduring pain!? Someone might faint by watching something gruesome (i!.e!. someones "meatpole" or arm getting cut off) but that is not the same as knocking them out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
