"Pain Tolerance" is Not in Your Mind

---

Do you need a big dose of any pain relief product or very little? Are you the Hulk or a wimp when it comes to pain? Doctors are learning that the answer ultimately lies within your genes and hormones.

 

New research proves that "pain tolerance" really is a relative thing.

We don't all feel pain the same way or with equal intensity.

So those seeking lower back pain relief, and relief from other types of pain, are often experiencing very different levels of discomfort.

Scientists now know there are neurons in the body that actually retain "pain memory."

In some people, they are especially active and the connections between them are very strong.

• In these individuals, there is increased sensitivity to even the most minor pain.
• This helps explain why some people feel more pain than others
• And why they never seem able to completely recover from their pain.
• It also sheds light on why some people need more pain relief than others and need it earlier.

Biologists have also found that our genetics have a lot to do with determining our pain tolerance.

There are different variations of the human gene COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase); and some cause greater sensitivity to pain.

• We get a copy of COMT from each parent, each carrying one of two amino acids: valine or methiorine.
• Most babies inherit some of each. That gives them an "average" pain tolerance.
• But those with two valine-carrying genes can handle pain easiest while those with two methiorine-carrying genes feel pain most intensely.

There is also evidence to suggest that women are hormonally inclined toward a higher pain tolerance.

It's because they produce estrogen.  Scientists now know that:

• Estrogen increases the number of places in the brain where natural pain relief chemicals reside.
• And as estrogen levels diminish during menopause, women begin to feel more aches and pains.

So there is a need for different levels of pain relief among different people.

But no matter the level of help required, a growing favorite among doctors and patients is Premiere's Pain Spray.

• The more you spray the stronger the relief.
• Pain Spray never causes numbing, drowsiness or any other harmful side-effects.
