When going through security, always, always make it clear that you have a chronic pain condition, and ask for accommodations. Otherwise you could have the experience I had yesterday. Pat downs are bad enough without someone patting an RSD leg very very firmly. And then sliding the hand down the pants. Sandpaper on a sunburn people, sandpaper on a sunburn. I try not to cry about pain in public, but I did yesterday.
I don't care if it comes across melodramatically, next time, I'm being way more assertive.

I had that happen to me also. Crying out in pain when prodded? Yep, I did it. Did I raise my voice in protest when smacked? Yep, sure did. Did the idiot scanners know that I had (metal) electrodes hooked up to a (metal) TENS unit?
See above:
pain - check
voice raised - check
