Pain, everyone feels pain in their own way. There are some that have a high tolerance for it and then there are the ones that can’t handle it at all. I feel that I have a high tolerance for pain because there was a time when I was playing with my younger brother, we were sliding down the railing of the stairs of my home when I leaned too far in the opposite direction and next thing I know is that I am falling towards the ground, but not before I took glass down with me and cut my arm. At first I didn’t realize what was happening, only that i was going to be in trouble. My parents came down stairs because the sound of shattering glass and me falling. They ran downstairs to see if I was okay, which I thought I was for I didn’t feel pain, but

I was rushed into the hospital crying, but it was not for the pain I should have been in because I was not in any, but for the pain I would feel when the doctors have to put stiches in my arm. On the handout, Revised Reducer-Augmenter Scale, I had scored a score of 83. On the scale there was a possibility of 21 to 126, 21 being a tendency toward “reducing and 126 being a tendency toward “augmenting.” People that are reducing have the high tolerance for pain and augmenting have the low tolerance of pain, my score was closer to the augmenter side then the reducer side. Comparing my self-perceived sense of pain tolerance and the score that I received from the handout, I saw that based on the score I can’t handle very much of pain, and in truth I can’t. When I went through the experience of falling from the second floor and getting glass stuck in my arm, I was not completely there, the whole time my mind was on the fact that I would get in trouble and the fact that I had adrenaline rush from …show more content…
When I think of pain on a psychological level, I tend to not pay attention to the pain I may or may not be experiencing, such as the tine when I played softball, I was throwing the ball back a forth between my teammates, getting ready for the game, when it was time to start, we were throwing the extra balls back so we can start, I had my head completely focus on the game that when my teammate threw the ball for me to take back, it hit me under my eye. I didn’t realize that it did any damage till I wiped my face thinking it was sweat only to have blood on my hands. I tried to continue to play but I got harder for me to see through my eye, if it wasn’t for that, I would have continued on with the game. It wasn’t pain I felt, like I thought I would have after getting hit by a ball, what I felt was numb. I had no sensation under my left eye, where today lays a scar. Then there are the times that I would feel the pain in a sociocultural level, like when I had to get a shot. At first it scared me because i would see the way my brother reacted when he would get his shots and it affected me. I would feel like I am in more pain at first, but after experiencing it, having to get multiple shots, I grew accustom to it, now it does not bother me to get a shot like it would for my brother till this day.
