If we would open a Nostalgia thread to complain and sigh how much better it was in the good old days, then we would definitely make a decent bunch off grampa's and granny's.
, but just talking about pain is I think really not just preserved for the elderly, nor a way to brag about your "achievements". Or I mean,
I didn't meant to brag with my post, nor did the others I think. It's just that first of all I think it's an interesting subject (though I don't enjoy it, don't think of me as a sadist), and secondly sharing stuff like this serves an essential part, I think. Many people complain about how bad their lives are, and how many things they don't have and in how much pain they are. Though in some cases that really might be justified, in many cases the people are basicly just spoiled and do not know real pain. Which I think can be said about my case: looking back on the pain that I have experienced, I think I really have no right to complain about the meagre amount of small pains that I have experienced, since by excample Chimaera with his migraine really has been through some hell seemingly, with which I strongly sympathize by the way. Just view this thread as a way to regain more appreaciation again for your own life, and the things you still have (or the pains you don't have), instead of being so miserable about what seems to be missing. No accusations here, just defensing my thread here.

Twenty teeth? Ouch, how did that happen? Did they were teeth both out of your child teeth, as your current teeth?

I think that makes perfect sense. I suppose you mean a mentally thing here? That you know that you experience the pain for a good cause? That afterwards, you will be happy to have gone through the pain because of the great result?
