If I interpret your question in the way I am seeing it, then I think we all feel pain and it is very difficult for us to lose that pain, it'll be with us forever... But there are various ways in which we can put this pain to one side... In my experiences, I feel anxious very often, and it doesn't go away... But if I do something like play guitar, go out with friends or play sports or something else of interest, it sets my brain concentrating on something else... It's a kind of distraction technique and it works effectively for me... Yes, I might still be upset afterwards, but it feels so much better when it's not on my mind...
So if that is what you are asking, then yes, i do believe your question is true...

No pain no gain.
'Abraham Maslow postulated that needs are arranged in a hierarchy in terms of their potency. Although all needs are instinctive, some are more powerful than others. The lower the need is in the pyramid, the more powerful it is. The higher the need is in the pyramid, the weaker and more distinctly human it is. The lower, or basic, needs on the pyramid are similar to those possessed by non-human animals, but only humans possess the higher needs.
The first four layers of the pyramid are what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "D-needs:" the individual does not feel anything if they are met, but feels anxious if they are not met..... Needs beyond the D-needs are "growth needs," "being values," or "B-needs." When fulfilled, they do not go away; rather, they motivate further.
The base of the pyramid is formed by the physiological needs, including the biological requirements for food, water, air, and sleep.
Once the physiological needs are met, an individual can concentrate on the second level, the need for safety and security. Included here are the needs for structure, order, security, and predictability.
The third level is the need for love and belonging. Included here are the needs for friends and companions, a supportive family, identification with a group, and an intimate relationship.
The fourth level is the esteem needs. This group of needs requires both recognition from other people that results in feelings of prestige, acceptance, and status, and self-esteem that results in feelings of adequacy, competence, and confidence. Lack of satisfaction of the esteem needs results in discouragement and feelings of inferiority.
Finally, self-actualization sits at the apex of the original pyramid.'
When inferiority is translated into humility as a positive value, enduring that pain is a little easier. When inflicting pain on others is used as a means to endure feelings of inferiority, then you have a criminal or a person bent on intentional wrong.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

On a physical level, I'm a pretty good pain blocker. By getting yourself in better shape you can reduce your overall physical pain level. There are some people with chronic pain, and they can't even get relief from their medication, so without surgery they have no hope of "getting out of pain." For others they do have this option sometimes. So I do not agree.
On a psychological level, a lot of the pain we endure is there for a reason - perhaps to protect us from something even worse, like a very threatening memory we could not deal with directly. Only with hard work, and counseling can this pain be worked through and eliminated. If that is what you mean by "a way through", then I do agree.

Pain, be it physical or emotional, is caused by suffering and we are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the fullest. Any anti-dote used to get rid of the pain, be it from an outer source or from the strengths within the self, will not prove its worth till it stays with you right till you are convinced about the end of the pain or sometimes even therafter..... simply for reassurances sake...a very ambiguous human nature. Many a times we need to know the route cause of the pain so as to avoid it the next time around. This experience can be had and held dearly only if we find a way through the pain in our life because that is what makes us appreciate what we possess, what we have and what are we missing.
so dear there is no way out of pain, u have got to face it, sometimes even confront it to conquer and demolish it.

We can avoid some painful situations in our lives by making different and better choices. I do agree however, that there is always a way through the painful times.

In order to get out of your pain, you must go through it. Like a tunnel. I've found that resistance to pain only makes it worse. Pain is there for a reason. It's a signal that you must stop and pay attention to what ever it is that hurts. I'm talking physical and spiritual. I believe the key to this journey is breathing. There is a lot of power in breathing. It helps the mind and body to relax and listen and find the source of the problem.
Just my two cents.

Pain is a part of life. Every choice we make, might entail some kind of pain. It helps to learn to be tough, and work on making choices to reduce that pain. But everything we do choose, will include challenges. It helps to be emotionally strong in life and try to learn about ourselves and the world, through such situations.

This is the most depressing thing I've ever read! There is always a way out of emotional or psychological pain whether it is counselling, the support of family and friends or simply time and patience. In terms of physical pain, I have a couple of slipped discs and it does get you down at times but I find as a general rule, the strong painkillers I have and keeping myself active/occupied takes my mind off the worst of it. I've been a lot worse and I'm genuinely glad to be able to do normal stuff like go to work, walk my dogs, go out with my friends.

No.
There is always a way out of pain under any circumstance. However, it is nearly impossible to go through life without experiencing pain, emotional or physical. Also, without dealing with such painful situations, one will never have a standard to measure what is truly pleasurable in life.

The only way out of pain is to go through it! Everyone has too.
