pain hyposensitivity; the double-edged super power

Post Reply New Topic

I had to come home from work today because I twisted my ankle. I figured that I could probably tough it out thanks to the gift/curse of pain hyposensitivity. I avoided putting too much weight on it and kept on until I could actually feel it...two and a half hours later. In the past, I've been around people who understand that I don't always show it when I'm hurt (because sometimes I just don't notice). Today, however, involved a middle manager who may not have believed me, swollen anke and all.
