A Disorder Can Make You Unable to Feel Physical Pain
Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is an extremely rare genetic disorder in which a person cannot feel physical pain. While this may sound like a superpower, it’s actually life-threatening. Children with the condition may unknowingly suffer broken bones, severe burns, or internal injuries because they receive no warning signals that something is wrong. Many patients require constant monitoring to avoid serious injury.
