answer:Generally I hide it when out among the public. Most people hide their physical pain from what I have witnessed. Well, not exactly hide, but they present themselves as not being in pain. It is impossible to know if someone is in discomfort at a glance. Many chronic pain sufferers complain that they are misunderstood, because people don’t really empathize. If we had a knife sticking out of our body everyone would be freaking out around us that we are suffering, but the same pain without the visible cause, people don’t always believe there is pain or easily forget we are in constant pain. I think it is acceptable to let people know you are in pain. If you need help, or an exception of some sort.
