I have an incredibly high pain tolerance, and it's coupled a miraculous amount of luck at minimizing injuries when something does happen. Hit by a car twice while riding my bike (2013 and 2015), no injuries either time, though one of those times my bike needed replacing. Several bike crashes on pavement that left me looking like i got into a fight in an alley, walked or rode home each time with minimal difficulty or noticable pain. But i do feel all of that pain, i might scream and swear for a minute or two, but then i move on almost like it didn't happen. Several injuries that would leave my NT friends crying, screaming on the ground or both, i've walked off like it didn't happen. My worst injuries excluding cuts, scrapes, bruises, and a 2nd degree burn on my hand in elementary school was a hyper extended leg at 7 years old. By all accounts i should have broken a bone or joint several times by now but through some miracle i haven't. Never needed stitches, a cast, or crutches before.
Cycling isn't the sport for people with a low pain tolerance.
When I was hit by a car, my shoulder was badly injured, but I felt nothing for about 20 minutes. I was up off the ground right away, and swearing my head off at the driver because my bike was in pieces. It wasn't until I reached down to unstrap my shoes, to climb into an ambulance for a quick exam, that I felt my shoulder. That hurt.
I was riding again, on my spare bike, the next day.

What was wrong with your shoulder, though? You could've had a bunch of adrenaline rushing through you, which is why it took twenty minutes to feel the pain.

Dislocated a/c joint and damage to the tendon. I agree about the delayed response. The pain tolerance was why I could continue to ride until I had surgery to repair the damage.

Sounds pretty bad, did it at least heal up nice?

My dentist recently commented on my high pain tolerance.
Yet, I can't tolerate wool sweaters or tags in the back of my shirt.

I'll rip the tags off as soon as I see them, the feeling you get is overwhelming when it rubs on you. How about two fabrics rubbing on each other?
That depends.
I'm all about layers of silky/fuzzy fabrics.
Denim?
Oh no.
I quit smoking last year and gained half my body weight (oops, but I've almost lost half it again and fifteen years of cigs vs two of weight loss is acceptable)... anyway, it freaks me out still sometimes when my thighs rub if I have jeans on.
So I started wearing stretchy pants, because this is America.
So... yeah. It's the stiffness/texture of the fabric, for me.
(Also, holy cow that noise that corduroy makes rubbing sometimes. Owowowowowowowowow.)
