I don't even have a high tolerance for pain. I can't answer this question because I've had deep second degree burns that covered my legs from my ankles to my knees debrided without painkillers.
I have learned to stop comparing my pain to that. In fact, if I'm in pain, I tell them that its a 10 so that they will take it seriously. If it turns out that nothing it wrong, then at least I got everything properly documented. If something is wrong, then it got taken care of immediately instead of when it was almost about to kill me. Either way, I don't die.
