People are talking about painkillers. And they can get some. But a lot of it is just toughing it out.

Julio Jones (College Football) played his last season at Alabama with a broken foot. He just played through the pain.

AC Green (LA Lakers, Pro Basketball) talked about having to have a cut above his eye sowen closed in the locker room with no painkiller or anesthesia, because he needed to go back in the game.
