I know that women and men feel pain differently. Could it be that it's because pain medications and treatments are usually tested on men and not women, so the doses or techniques may not be right for women?

That's a good question and one that has been brought up in the research community before. It is easiest to test medications and treatments on men because there is always the concern of pregnancy in adult women. Of course, the bodies of both men and women are different, so it would stand to reason that there could be difference in how a medication is absorbed or how much of a medication is needed.
