Everything is very painful to me - even stimuli that most people would not find 'painful'. Sometimes referred to as the "Princess and the Pea" syndrome. No, it's not really called that...

Is it possible that you suffer from fibromyalgia? It is one of those nasty things that like to piggyback with other illnesses such as autoimmune disease, neuropathy, etc... It has a tendancy to "amplify" pain sensation.

I have that problem. Dental work always poses a problem with me - fortunately, my dentist administers nitrous oxide gas.

Hope you feel better.
