Dear Tutors,Smile [:)]

I would like to concatenate two sentences into one.

Here are the two sentences:
"I hate physical discomfort.  Of course, I hate pain even more."

"I hate" is in both sentences.  Can I regroup both sentences by using it? For example "I hate physical discomfort, of course, pain even more?"

Thanks in advance,

"I hate physical discomfort, especially pain" is how I'd do it.

It might be more effective if you replaced one 'hate':

"I dislike physical discomfort; but I hate pain."
