Coping with pain and couple other things

Hey all. Although of course this place isn't in any way profesh or counselling, I'm wondering if anyone can give me some help regarding one of my major problems in life.

Ever since I was a kid I've always been very poor at dealing with pain; mine or others', emotional or physical. I was never much getting into scrapes or anything, so never got used to it, per se. But I know that sometimes when I have some kinda soreness or anything minor, I have trouble, not coping as it were, but just have trouble with it.

The best example would be today; I managed to get that feeling when you knock a nerve in your neck, which led to that feeling all over your body like very minor pins and needles, just soreness/rashy feeling all over. I tend to moan about it, and my pain threshold is ridiculously low. I'm just wondering what tips or whatnot anyone has to deal with things better.

Secondly, for a few weeks, quite intermittently, I've been getting pains in my knuckles. Not exactly sharp or dull, though moreso the former, certainly proper pain. I do a fair amount of typing on tsr and other places and since the jobs I'm applying for tend to use typing in some way or other, I'm getting a little angsty as concerns it. They're in the middle (very slightly below) the knuckles, on both hands, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this and what I can do about it. I should also mention me mum has onset arthritis atm, and my bones are rather the same for suppleness; they're always cracking without my trying. I know it's probably not RSI but is probably something related, given my propensity towards activities that exercise the fingers :smile:

Thirdly, the thing with pins and needles, everywhere, it happened today and of course everyone gets it, I'm wondering if anybody else knows of any ways to get rid of it more easily than laying down :smile:

Thankyou all for your help :smile:
