    you personally have no idea what it is like to suffer pain daily,you have no idea what real pain is like,and until you do experience it you cannot say you do

    Many people would say that seeing someone you love in pain (and being able to do nothing to help them) is far worst than being in pain yourself.

    I disagree too. Having a disability is completely different to caring for someone with one.

    I think that most people have suffered severe pain at some point, even if they are fortunate enough not to be in pain all the time.

    I have no children of my own but I'm sure that many parents would take the pain on themselves if that were possible, rather than seeing their child suffer. This would also apply to other close relationships - it's not really a question of sympathy at all.

    Pain is different for everyone. What for me might be minor, might be major for someone else.

    Very true.

    (I may have half this thread on ignore, but the comments I'm seeing quoted really are getting up my nose - which obviously meant I was right to put certain people on ignore! ;))

    Older put her on ignore. I have.

    She is just an annoying child who has no experience of anything. And amazingly childlike for someone who was supposed to have been at University living an independent life.

    I do not believe a single syllable she posts.

    i dont have parents and do not wish to go there with this.
    yes am a parent,yes i would take my kids pain anytime if i could.
    but this is not a sore tummy or a sprained wrist,this is daily agonising pain,that no medication so far has touched my pain,and to be honest i would not wish it upon anyone,but hey ho i get my dla so why am i complaining
    i came into the world with nothing,and guess what? i still have it!!!:p
