Is it possible to have sickle cell trait and not know it?

I read you can carry the gene from one parent but not the other and not be affected. Rarely you might carry the gene from both parents but not be affected because of an offsetting gene. Otherwise it seems the pain episodes would have taken you to a doctor early in life.
