I think you find out by being in pain (not that I recommend it). Whenever I'm in pain I tend to start laughing uncontrollably, so that's how I deal with it.
Addendum:Mythbusters performed an experiment regarding pain tolerance using a large container of ice water. The sensation of submersion in ice water is synonymous with pain, and will give you a good gauge by which you can determine your tolerance level in a relatively safe way.

Most people with a doctor prescribed pain killer do because they are made to treat pain fast. To not get addicted, you should take a medication that you are not fond of so you won't want to keep taking it after your pain.
Yes however most people that use prescribed pain killers don't get addicted to the prescribed drugs because they use them for only a short period of time. And not all painkillers are addictive.

∙ 7y agoNo, pain tolerance and drug tolerance are two almost completely different things. Pain tolerance is mostly psychological; basically how much discomfort you can take before you cave. If a person lives with chronic pain or painful injuries for an extended period of time, the person can eventually get used to it. The mind eventually can rework itself to set that level of pain as its zero point. You still feel the pain, but it doesn't bother you anymore.
Drug tolerance (ie painkillers) is physical: your brain is used to a certain level of the drug, and requires more of the drug to feel the effects. Drug tolerance is often the immediate precursor to drug addiction. People with high tolerances for pain often become tolerant of painkillers sometime in their lives, but eventually stop relying on drugs at all.
