How much do you know about treating pain? Do you avoid taking pain medications because you don’t want to get addicted? Do you avoid taking pain medications because you’re tough? You may want to take this Pain Quiz at the MayoClinic.com. Some of the answers may surprise you.
If you would like to know how you compare with the average American in terms of pain, the ABC network put up this Pain Management Quiz. The 15 questions are based on your age and gender, and you can see how you rate with your American peers.
And finally, IVillage also has an interesting Pain Management Quiz. It tests what you know about pain – who has it, what causes it, and more.
