Question: Is it possible to increase your pain threshold!? if so how!?

Answers:
Pain has two components: pain threshold (the point where sensory nerves recognize a stimulus as pain) and pain tolerance (a person's ability to ignore the pain signals sent by the nerves)!. You cannot change the pain threshold, but it can be changed temporarily with drugs!.

A person can learn to increase pain tolerance by redirecting the psychological reaction to pain!. Typically, children have almost no pain tolerance skills, and skills develop as they reach adulthood, so its apparent that most people learn pain tolerance to some degree!. Seeking additional pain tolerance simply takes practice, which is not something that most people want to do since you cannot practice effectively unless you are in pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'd like to say 'mind over matter' - but that doesnt always work!. When ever i get hurt, I just compare the experience to something far more traumatic, then my brain tells me to stop whingeing and deal with the pain more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
