We like to believe that healing is a perfect process. In particular, doctors often express the view that pain shouldn't persist beyond the normal course of healing. On the other hand, anyone who has seen a scar knows that healing isn't perfect.
There seems to be an idea that suffering is an anomaly and "shouldn't" happen under normal conditions. In the face of such a belief, it is easy to see why people might decide that there is something wrong in the essence of a person who continues to complain of pain.
