A sentient multitude of claws

The normal level of daily pain for an able-bodied person is ZERO, without needing to take pain medication, not even off-the-counter meds.

Not a little, definitely not enough to be "distracting but tolerable" with or without Tylenol. ZERO. (I'm shocked too every time I remember that the norm is to live pain free unless something happened to you, I know.)

Pain is pain. Chances are that the sorts of pain you're used to would have someone who's not used to it losing their mind if they did a body swap with you. I live with awful joint pain and when I flare up I also get horrible muscle pain and I can bear those as stoic as ever, but if I experience just a bit of stomach pain I fucking DIE because I'm not used to that, so give yourself some credit for the kind of pain you're able to tolerate.

Yes, even mild pain counts. Fun fact; pain that is mild but sustained through a long time is EXTREMELY damaging. It over-stresses the body, interferes with your ability to get decent sleep (which then causes fatigue and MORE PAIN), if there's any healing your body needs to do it interferes with that too, but since the pain isn't tremendous the people suffering it usually shrug it off instead of just taking some meds so they keep worsening their health little by little through time while insisting that their pain isn't "that bad" so it shouldn't be a big deal. IT IS.

Untreated long-term pain can unleash a cycle of autonomic dysfunction because when the body is in pain and/or fatigued it increases levels of adrenaline (your body's own caffeine) to artificially boost your energy levels and to make you not feel your pain as much. Problem is that being high on adrenaline exacerbates your stress response to EVERYTHING down to causing disproportionate panic reactions because adrenaline sets you in fight or flight mode, and it causes insomnia, which then due to the terrible quality and/or lack of sleep causes more fatigue, which then again causes adrenaline to increase...

We're holding out for a healer till the end of the fight

And he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be pure

And he's gotta be blessed by the light

We need a healer!

We're holding out for a healer till the morning light

And he's gotta be fast and he's gotta cast Cure

And he's gotta be larger than life
