      it’s always the abuse.

      my wife was neglected as a child and always told to “walk it off”.

      our first child, she didn’t have any pain mitigation. the nurses were horrified but morbidly curious.

      when she says it hurts I believe it would incapacitate a normal person.

      personally, I have worked on mind-over-matter pain mitigation (I fell asleep during a root canal) but hers takes it to a whole new level.
