Well, everybody is capable of feeling pain. As for the second one, more natural would be (for example):

I am prone to catching colds, especially in the winter.

The last two are OK.

4) I am disease-resistant.

See my changes above.

With the hyphen, sentence #4 is grammatically correct but I don't like it. We refer to things like trees being "disease-resistant". I assume you mean something like "I have a very good immune system".

But we can say "I am pain-resistant". Am I correct?

But we can say "I am pain-resistant". Am I correct?

It's grammatically correct but unnatural. Say "I have a high pain threshold."

No- people feel pain. People who have chronic pain can cope with pain that people unused to is would struggle to cope with, but the people with the chronic pain are not resistant, just used to it. I have had severe back pain for decades. I am not resistant, just better at dealing with it and used to it.

I know the feeling of "It hurts when I move" back pain. Thankfully, it has happened to me only occasionally. (It's a bad start to the day when you wake up with back pain and getting out of bed is painful.)

When you move? Luxury.

You have to feel sorry for anybody who had to work 29 hours a day.
