My lack of pain story is I ruptured my achilles tendon playing basketball when I was 26. I had always heard that rupturing the tendon was very painful and it didn't hurt that bad, so I thought I had twisted my ankle or something. After over a week when it was still swollen I went to the doctor who sent me to an orthopedic surgeon. When the surgon learned how long I took before going to the doctor, and that I had been walking on it, he called me stupid.
On a side note, I later learned the surgeon had to retire from medicine because he became allergic to latex gloves.
