Does anybody else obsess about each ache and pain they have?

Pain - well that's one for a matter of opinion - or tolerance level for that matter....

I'm walking around right now on a broken foot. (a 2 inch long spiral fracture to the 5th metatarsal with complete seperation)
Doc said to walk on it - its been broke for 5 weeks and isn't even starting to heal.
But walking on it may help promote bone growth and I can't hurt it any worse than it already is.

That said - I kinda have been obsessing with this pain.
With every step I can feel that broken bone.
Even sitting still I can feel it throbbing.

I've been told I have a higher tolerance for pain - and usually I do not obsess unless its pretty bad.

I'd say this is pretty bad

my mother does. EVERYDAY it's something new hurting her "my neck, my back, my head, my leg, my arm" and she'll go to the doctor and most of the time they'll say it's nothing, or it's just arthritis but she refuses to believe them.

and yes she's one of those people who thinks the worst of EVERYTHING. we actually got into a bit of an argument the other day because i told her that she needs to start seeing the good in life. everytime i talk to her it's always about how horrible things are, and i don't want to talk to someone like that all the time.

It depends on the pain -- just regular joint pain (I have fibromyalgia), I'm used to and I just deal with it. But when a new pain comes along, I obsess and baby it until I find out what's wrong. I don't need any new pains to deal with!
