Some people can convince themselves that they feel no pain. I am one of those that self deceived myself into thinking that I felt no hip pain for years. Looking back I had ongoing pain yet if you asked me I would say no. I was not lying. I don't understand why but in my mind what I was feeling was not pain. It was just a bother.
I suspect that the blue light success stories were convinced that they should have no pain therefore they did not. It's all in the mind.
