Apparently I am quite tolerant to pain.

About 2 months ago I was dancing and botched a landing and the left part of my left foot hit the ground first with my right foot coming down on it.

For a few days, 3 or so, I had felt pain but after that, nothing.

Now just a month ago I was dancing again, had a bad landing and hurt my second toe on my left foot.

Now a few weeks later, the swelling on the toe never went away. I asked my parents to arrange for an x-ray, which found one fracture in my second toe, nothing else.

The doctor wanted a MRI just to make sure the cartilage was okay along with ligaments. Now keep in mind, after a few days from each injury I stopped feeling pain.

The MRI came back with a surprise, 4 fractures in the same foot, and no pain to speak of from me. Two were on a joint on the second toe. The other two were on the left side of my foot from the injury 2 months ago.

During those two months I worked as a camp counselor babysitting first graders. I also danced on that foot. There was no time when I felt pain or a hinderance in my foot.

That means I've had about 4 fractures for 2 months in the same foot and have never felt pain beyond the initial incident. My dad and the doctor gave me a funny look when I told them I had no pain whatsoever. No, I wasn't lying.

What's really odd is that your foot is directly connected to your brain. That means pain is generally amplified when in your foot because there's no gap between the brain and foot to lessen the pain.

Talk about pain tolerance...currently I'm wearing a removable cast for two weeks. Fun huh?
