Here's a think - researchers have found that higher pain thresholds are proportional to the number of friends you have. Something to do with endorphins evidently, and also true if you are fit.
It appears that there's quite a bit more work today to actually pin down the real correlation, and it could even be the opposite - that being fit could reduce the amount of time you have to socialise and therefore have fewer friends. It seems to me that being fit and friendly is the answer to a pain free life, although I'm not so sure that Facebok friends count.
