So, you don't expect medical science to be /that/ advanced, then? ;>

With better bodies than the kind we have now, pain management could be 
built-in, in such a way as to keep all of the benefits of pain but 
eliminate the downsides.

With the kind of bodies I have in mind, most common injuries would be a 
lot less inconvenient, not nearly as stressful, and recovering from them 
would be a hell of a lot quicker, not to mention that lessons could be 
learned, and applied, so that after the injury, you're not only as good 
as new, but better ("Hmm, maybe that bone should be stronger, if I'm 
going to do jumps like that.  Give me the G900s, please.").
