Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 You just described Evan to a tee as far as his pain threshold and his sensitive feet. I once was holding Evan's hand in the pediatrician's office when they called for Evan to come to the back....well Evan decided to do the famous " stop, drop and roll " while I still had his hand and he dislocated his elbow before we knew what happened. When we got to the back and was in the patient exam room....Evan put his elbow in my hand. I looked at it...and didn't see anything wrong with it and so I let it go and he put it back in my hand again. That's how I knew there was something wrong with it and then it dawned on me what was probably wrong (I used to work in an Orthopedic Surgeon's office so we saw these quite often.).....I had caused him to dislocate his elbow (aka.... " nursemaid's elbow " ). I cried like a baby and he NEVER shed a tear. The doctor came in and was more concerned about me than she was about Evan....LOL!!! She, of course, popped it right back in place with no problems and he was fine. I, on the other hand, went home and drank 3 wine coolers after that!!!!!

She seldom cries when in pain and seldom tells me she is in pain. When she does I know she is really, really hurt! She has had ear infections, cuts, etc., and never complained. Recently she sprained her ankle very badly and she did cry but not a lot. Her ankle swelled to more than triple its normal size. It had a cast and then a boot splint etc. She stayed off of it for a week and actually learned to hop because she couldn't bare weight on it (what a way to learn heehee Her regular PE teacher at school felt she deserved extra credit for that)! Yet except for when she fell, she didn't cry. Now an interesting side note...the bottoms of her feet are extremely sensitive. She can't stand to walk on almost anything but grass if barefoot. And they are very sensitive to temperatures, too. She does prefer lukewarm showers versus warm or hot. I wonder how many out there have a similar experience.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hi My son has a high tolerance of pain. I was told that his nervous system was sluggish like the rest of him......hmmmmm. Well, he had gotten hurt and not cried. He will go to the doctors office and the Dr. will press his face to see if it is sinuses and when that is negative leave the room. My son cries about the mean doctor hurting his face after!!!! Oh well. He also has sensitive feet. and will not even walk on our deck without shoes on. He will do sand by carefully. NO PEASTONE!!! My son also gets cold. His turns blue around the lips and he has purple hands. I have to make sure he is well covered and he is not allowed outside for sports at school for anything 60 degrees or colder. Some form of Raynauds??

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Now this is mentioned, Tasha does not go around unless she has at least socks on. Interesting! The little cutie pie! As a matter of fact when I got hoemfrom the store this afternoon she was in the yard with her Dad. Everyone had their shoes and socks or saddles off, but she stillhad her socks on.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 I've been noticing this with Hana and have discussed it with family. Little things that would make my neice cry (2 weeks younger than Hana) don't make Hana cry. She did cry during her immunizations though.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 broke his finger pretty bad over Memorial Day weekend and did not cry! He was mad but never really cried so it was hard to tell how bad it was until the next day when we rushed him to the ER! He also cannot stand socks and if he has to wear them they have to be on just right. It takes him forever to put them on!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2002 Report Share Posted June 23, 2002 Kenzie (7DS) has a very HIGH threshold for pain....whenever they take blood from her she smiles and says " OH THANK YOU " ..even when she had her tonsils out she only cried immediately after they woke her up and stopped when she saw me.
