Would you still want that extra time.
Or what if immortality was offered to you but every day was pain, not major pain, but that throbbing stubbed my damn toe on the coffee table pain.
Would you want that immortality?

As far as the last 'what if' goes, I'd probably take that. People get used to things very fast, you probably wouldn't notice that pain after a while if it was constant and/or in the same place and not major as you put it.
Plus if you're immortal, you could just self medicate to the gills for those days you really want to block the pain out.
