A member asked:
Is there some brain condition that makes you not feel pain, that raises your pain tolerance to high levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Riley-Day Syndrome: This is an inherited inability to perceive pain and believe me, it is not a blessing, but a curse.A form of syphilis can cause insensitivity to pain as can some types of leprosy. More commonly, severe, poorly controlled diabetes is an important culprit.
