You gotta pick and choose your battles
When I have something that hurts, I poke at it really hard to make it hurt more for a minute so that the normal pain is ignorable.

You didn't edit this comment. I feel lied to!
Gotta figure out whether it’s “oh” or “hooh” deep. A week to heal if you’re going full palindrome.

it feels good for some reason, just like exercise pains
You can resist pain somewhat if you think of it as another feeling and just observe or notice it without reacting to it
People who know meditation will be able to understand this better
I don't know meditation but yeah this kinda works if the pain is not that severe .
Funny thing about your run of the mill bruises: poking them is one thing, but massaging the blood away from the center will often enough, lessen the healing time by a great deal. 🤷🏼♀️
Will it though?
Yes. 😶
I don't believe this is the case. A bruise is caused by damaged capillaries and vessels. Massaging them would just force more blood into the surface tissue worsening the bruise, no? I tried to find information on the subject, but it seems pretty limited.
