@VoxofGod @Zumbador @dramypsyd @atarifrosch @actuallyautistic I walked off a dislocated shoulder, arm dangling out of the socket, but screamed like a BeeGee whose balls were in a vice when I stubbed my toe
@devxvda @VoxofGod @Zumbador @dramypsyd @actuallyautistic Heard about these effects that some people don't feel massive pain, but never had experienced that myself. On the contrary, I react strongly to every kind of pain, it's one of the „sensory issues“ I cannot stand, like coldness or loud noises.

In case auf autistic people, pain is often ignored by doctors etc. Because there is not enough pain-related grimacing going on.
Related: Weird pain scales that have different smiley faces for the pain. And what does "worst pain you can imagine" even mean? I can imagine a lot. In fact, the one time I experienced what could be called a 9 was what I would call a 7.

When I went in for gout, the doctor acted like she thought I was exaggerating, until she examined me. Then she told me I should be rolling around screaming, not limping into her exam room.
If it hadn't gotten to the point I couldn't stand the weight of a bedsheet on my foot, I wouldn't have gone in when I did.

I got a hole in my eardrum fixed a few years back.
The doctor first told me it would be faster if I didn't move, then wondered why I didn't move or indicate pain while he was doing super painful things.
Sorry for wanting to get this over with...
