Dude, lay off of the guy, he's just looking for advice. If it is seriously bothering him, who are you to say that having a low tolerance for pain makes you less of a man. I have heard plenty of guys who are pretty well built and very strong, bitch and whine to me about certain performance enhancing drugs and the pain and soreness that they bring. So, I don't know where you get off telling him to "man up", when it's obviously more complicated than that.
