I understand this completely. Having a high pain tolerance is how I almost died. By the time it hurt bad enough for me to actually realize that something was seriously wrong, I was home alone and was pretty much bleeding to death internally.
I still walked in to the clinic. And almost walked all the way back to the examining room.
I don't think there's a "right answer" for pain. It's not a scientific thing, it's a feeling thing and people feel pain very, very differently.
