Can there be pain without suffering?

It mostly depends on how we describe pain. I wrote an article for Elephant Journal on this. One addition to the article that should be mentioned is, please listen to your body! Though we can learn to keep our mind steady even while discomfort is happening (read the article for more), it is important that when you feel a sharp pain, back off! Never push beyond what your body feels as appropriate. I am addressing that pain which is usually uncomfortable, but not harmful, and how to turn it into pain without suffering.
