Pain relief causes various reactions in others. What are some of the experinces you have had? I added a poll if you are working on your points.

We both have bad knees....both had knee surgery. He has a bad back now, which causes pain sometimes. There is ALWAYS some measure of pain SOMEWHERE in the body as you age (sorry younger folks here...just wait a while and YOU TOO will understand you are NOT made of "titanium", regardless of what you THINK at this point in life). Anyway, we have never let "normal" pain get in the way of play or lovemaking. It doesn't help, but it sure doesn't hurt.

Sure, once my knee went into a BAD pain spasm, while I was in a VERY "legs up high" position...and he just STOPPED. Asked if I wanted to stop, to which I replied, "no just hold still for a minute, let it pass", which it did, and all was well.

Pain is just part of life. Grow older and it becomes a BIGGER part of NORMAL life. We are still VERY high powered, go, GO, GO professionals, who have incredibly athletic backgrounds, but age is age....ain't NO stopping it.
