I've torn the ligaments in my ankle and I've been in chronic pain every day for the last 12 years. Honestly, it doesn't bother me. (I mean, it hurts a lot and given the choice to be alive AND have it gone, I would prefer it gone, but, meh) It bothers people around me that I limp though. Oh well. I gave the example of acute pain because that was more challenging to me than the chronic.

Interesting. This is a complex issue. I have those types of issues too. Most of us do once we get old enough. They don't really bother me. Like yours, I can overcome them. Almost everyone does. I suspect if either of us had trained all our lives to be, and wanted to be professional runners, it would bother us greatly.
