Is it bad that I don't really feel pain?

I had to get some blood work done today, and I didn’t feel the needle at all.. not a pinch or a tickle, nothing! Sometimes I’ll be bleeding and won’t know I am or how/when it happened. It kind of creeps me out. I smashed my finger and nothing.. What’s going on with me?

Answer #1

theres this disease but i forgot whats it called. its not serious but i think your missing a muscle in your body or something like that doesnt let u feel pain. so its not really bad but if u want, u can go to a doctor to find out what it is

Answer #2

Hmmm i’d see your doctor just to put my mind at rest. Sounds unusual right enough. Can you feel anything? I’m sure it’s nothing and maybe just something to do with nerves or something but get it checked all the same. Good luck :)

Answer #3

It is something to do with your sensory neurons I’m sure, a good test is put your hand on a radiator and see if it burns you, it might just be the needle that didn’t hurt

Answer #4

Maybe you just have a really high pain threshold, ( Higher than average capacity to withstand pain; exceptional pain tolerance - http://funadvice.com/r/bgb02atjsr9 )

People are different. Some people can tolerate a lot of pain, some can’t. To be honest, it’s kind of a good thing to have a high pain threshold… nobody really likes pain.

I don’t think it’s anything serious, or anything to worry about… but if you are really concerned, see your doctor. .

Answer #5

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a disease of not feeling pain if you meant that.:)

Answer #6
