Is your personality pain-proof?
Have you ever thought how your approach to pain might be affecting your life and your behaviour towards those around you? How we handle pain says a lot about the type of person we are in life. Some people grin and bear their pain and try to make do, other people don't want to let even the smallest niggle interfere with their day so will be among the first to treat it with a fast, effective painkiller. Others will fall somewhere in between, treating their pain inconsistently and in different ways including alternative remedies or perhaps relying on a simple glass of water. But which one are you?
We have devised this short quiz that will tell you more about the type of person you are, how you react to pain and what your pain treatment threshold is. It will also provide you some advice to ensure your life isn't interrupted by common aches and pains.

Pain is a fact of life and can affect us almost every day – from muscle sprains and period pain to headaches and hangovers. The experience of pain can make us feel needlessly irritable; the way we respond to it has to do with a lot of things including our gender, our culture even our personality. In fact the way we deal with and respond to pain can have a knock-on effect on many parts of our lives – from relationships to work performance.
Take part in the Pain Profile quiz to unveil your pain personality, and follow the tailored advice and helpful tips to help you best manage your pain next time it strikes, so you can make the most of life!
