Why is it some people have a higher pain threshold?

that is a good question...i really think it is mind over matter...it depends on how well you can cope with the pain...it is different for all types of people...

Pain causes stress and stress elevates the blood sugar so yes it can.

They are uncomfortable with your differences.  Sensitive people are easy to hurt and there lots of people out there who have fun hurting other's feelings.\n\nIt's difficult but necessary to become less sensitive.  Over time being exposed to the insensitivity of others will harden you.

There is usually severe pain in one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, often induced by touching trigger points in or around the mouth....

I don't think anyone really agrees on how or why it starts.  It's sometimes a feeling of pervasive exhaustion.  Other times it's paired with things like depression and phantom pain ( when you have unexplainable and moving pains throughout your body, usually the joints).  Some people think it has links to conditions like lupus or rheumatiod arthritis.  Some people think i'ts genetic.It's funny because a lot of doctors don't even belive it's a real thing, and it can be really hard to diagnose.

In cases of chronic pain, it is rare for a person to become a classic addict, in the sense of drug-seekingbehavior, looking to get high, etc. Opiates are good, reliable and well-tested analgesics when administered properly have a place in the treatment of chronic pain.\nHaving said that, the body STILL develops tolerance to these substances, requiring larger and larger doses or perhaps stronger opiates, and getting off them  is very difficult, but by no means impossible. There are other, less invasive, (and MORE invasive), methods of pain control.

I believe that it can cause you alot of pain that shoots from different places within that area. It can cause stiffness that feels like arthiritus.

I'm not sure there can be an answer to this...people have a strong tendency to enjoy things that bring them pleasure and to continue doing those things, while avoiding doing things that bring them pain.  Hunger hurts, while being full brings a feeling of well being.  It is an instinctual reaction that can even override self preservation instincts.  Mice hooked up to electrodes have a choice of two buttons...one stimulates their pleasure centers, and the other produces food.  They starve to death through their own actions.

well there are a lot of ways to answer this.  first of all many people "doctor shop".  they go from doctor to doctor after they've exhausted, even been fired from the one who had been prescribing the drugs they were getting in the first place.  2)  people lie.  some things are subjective types of pain and therefore difficult to prove by concrete testing and some folks will cross states lines to get drugs. 3)  some will steal prescription pads 4)  you can buy them on the internet 5) you can buy them on the street 6) people steal them from grandma and grandpa\nhope this clears things up for you a little

How much pain your feel will have a lot to do with your pain threshold.  Some people just handle pain better than others.  You probably won't really feel anything until most of the anesthesia is out of your system (at least a couple to 4 hours).  Be sure to ask your doctor for a prescription for a pain medication, and make sure you don't let him tell you Tylenol or Motrin.  You can buy those if you need them, but you'll be calling him at 2:30 in the morning and won't be able to find a pharmacy, if you leave the hospital without a script.

Pain is the signal for you not to move the affetced part. There is a hormone called endorphin which is a bodies own pain killer. When you are active or awake this hormone level in the blood is high and you feel less pain, but when you become tired or go to sleep the hormone level goes down and you feel more pain. And the other cause is the production of toxins, in the night body tissues start to regenerate to heel the wound or to replace the damaged tissue, in this process cells uses a lot of energy and produces toxins as by products including substance P which is a potent pain mediator. To have a nice sleep, sleep in cold enviorment. Never try hot water packs ain affetced parts ehen you go to bed.

Pain is definitely a sympton of a headache or stomachache.\n\nNo idea why it seems to happen to ladies and children mostly, or if that is even true.

Some parts of your body are more ticklish than others because of the sensitivity level of your body.  You may have rough feet and they're less likely to be ticklish, or you may have softer less callused feet and they may be more ticklish

We cannot relate at all, I don't think there is a place on a woman's body that is so sensitive and vulnerable.  We have no concept of the level of pain it causes, if the girls are young they might be laughing partly because they are more aware of a guys package when so much attention is being drawn to it.  Also it is a very different behavior for guys who are usually kinda cocky to be laying on the ground and cupping their balls.  People laugh instinctively at things that are out of the ordinary, most of us aren't happy that some one gets hurt cuz it lightens our mood, we just laugh as an instinct.

cause there are more nerve receptors on your toe then on your knee, therefore, you feel more.
