> like taking flu reduction medicine with every single cold or using medication to go to work sick.
Basically how I grew up. I took painkillers and throat lozenges in my backpack to school.

I will take what the doctor orders though, to treat illness and conditions though thankfully at this stage there hasn't been many instances. Usually that's antibiotics.
I have an above average tolerance but I think what really helps is pain management techniques, which I believe can help all of us at different times of need. Chronic pain is a bitch, which I have, and not everyone has pain that is reasonably manageable, but even prescribed pain meds are really going to mess with you and I think it is worth avoiding if possible and not inhumane.
I have been told that I have that, but I don't think it feels any less painful. It's not possible to know. I feel I am just a little accepting of it.
Broken femur is almost a different league though.
I think it is important to accept everyone's own experience of their pain though, I have no idea what someone else is feeling even if I have experienced the same event. Their experience and what they feel could be vastly different, our nervous systems behaving vastly different. It is not a morale failing to feel and be affected by pain.
