Pain/Pleasure Receptors

If someone is obese, do they feel pain (or pleasure for that matter) less intensely than someone who is skinny? Are the nerve endings that receive the pain or pleasure signals forced to spread out over a wider area so that there are less per square inch in obese people than in skinny people, or do obese people develop more nerve endings to compensate?

Has there ever been a study done on this?
