A member asked:
Who has a higher tolerance of pain..men or women. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't know: If i had to guess from observation, i would say it is probably say they are about equal. Really depends on the person. Someone who you would think would handle pain better, can't and another person really surprises me how well they tolerate it. There are many factors that lead to the perception of pain in a given circumstance.
