No kidding, Offbeats! The only time I ever took it
was when I burnt my eyeball and !Holy Smokes! Was it ever fun! Wow, I was floating
so high that I just LOVED everyone, just like a little flower-child.
Strangely enough, morphine after a surgery didn't seem to do anything for me tho.

I'd have to say my threshold is WAY up there,
and I never thought about it until my dentist years ago told me that he'd had a big ol' pro football player in the day before who was in so much pain he was crying like a baby over a less severe procedure than my dry-eyed emergency root canal. Maybe he just told me that to make me feel somewhat at ease, but that pain was incredible and I remember I kept tapping my foot to focus my senses elsewhere.
The very worst pain I ever had was when my hot curling iron slipped out of my hand and burnt my open eyeball. It blistered, and the tears were literally tears of pain, especially when the emergency room doc made me move my blistered eyeball to look down at my toes. OUCH! 
Excruciating pain. That was the only time I have ever screamed in my entire life.That was a night for Demerol.
My heart, on the other hand, has a very low threshold to pain.

I can handle physical pain better than emotional pain
I had no painkillers for both of my labours. I have tattoos and can handle a needle. I also donate blood. Some people are scared of these thick needles they push in your vains. I do not mind this. But when it comes to emotions, I run away.

Lilane-
I handle pain very well. One procedure prepping me for breast cancer surgery had me wimpering and tears rolling out of my eyes. I thought to myself that it must have really hurt for me to carry on so. Later I heard a woman screaming like she was being skinned alive. She wasn't -- it was the same procedure! Some of us handle pain while others of us can't. I gave birth with no medications two times and they were both long labors and took 90+ minutes of pushing out 8 and 9 lb. children. Maybe it was growing up on a farm that helped me. I really don't know. All 5 of us kids are pretty scrappy!

I think it is due to how one is raised
Being the baby of 5, and somewhat of a Tomboy when I was younger I learned to deal and handle physical pain. My mother raised me to be independant and stubborn and I think that has helped me with emotional pain. I was raised to deal with problems head on and in todays society too many people want to be the victim and want to blame someone else instead of taking accountabiltty for their own actions and circunstances.
