Re: High pain tolerance, ok, but why?

I never thought that my high torelance for pain could be tied to ADD. This all makes sense.

I was addicted to working out and did not feel like I had a good workout unless I achieved that ‘runners high’. I made the others in the step aerobics class tired and feel like they got a workout by just watching me.

The older class participants would tell me to be careful and not over do it because I would pay for it later. Well, I thought not me.

I got such bad stress fractures on the insides of my legs above my ankles, from getting tired and nut completely getting my foot off of the step to do a pivot move. I would be in tears but stepp’n away through the pain like a maniac. I would go to work (1500 – 2300) at the lab and whenever I could sit down I would grab ice packs and ice my legs, and back to step aerobics in the AM.

Thirteen years later and the stress fracture areas are still very sensitive to any pressure.

But then again not me.
