chronic pain relief from flogging?

[DustyWolfe]

I've noticed that the few times I have been flogged/beat I have experienced something more than just reaching my subspace. After I come down from my headspace I noticed that I'm not in near as much pain as I was in before the beating.

I have fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis (which is wierd for a 24 year old) and so I am in constant pain. I wake in the mornings and the first thing I do is take vioxx then go back to bed until it has taken affect. My pain is bad enough that I will likely never be able to work a normal 9-5 job.

BUT... after being beat I notice a very significant change in my pain levels that has been lasting for at least a couple of days, with exception of the last time I was beat because I started to get sick after and my pain levels always go up when I am sick.

In fact, I have also noticed that the times I have craved being thrashed most is when I am in the most pain. Wierd?

So, is it the chemical connection? The thudding of the flogger and other implements used? Anyone have any clue as to what this could be?

Endorphins are natural pain killers and they are released as you play.

I could go on and on about it, but it's pretty much just that simple.

So it is the chemical connection. I pretty much thought that was what it was. Damn I wish I had someone to beat me everyday lol.

It's also a frame of mind thing too a little bit. The better you feel about yourself emotionally the better you feel physically.

I have the same condition as you it's all pretty much a big circle of pain and then feeling well, feeling well and then pain.

it also is like getting a deep/invigorating massage......it will break up blockages within and around your "painfull" areas and bring in new blood circulation.

And yes, if you couldn't get a weekly massage for your fibromyalgia, a weekly flogging would be the next best thing

Have fun and I wish you more good days than bad!

Blessings~

Pain Cycle

Like you i have ongoing pain (age & too many years sitting still).

I find relief in a decent amount of intense stimulation. I don't go anywhere near endorphin thresholds but still find pleasant relief.

I put it down to increased circulation, feelings of wellbeing, high self esteem and alternate messages to pain in the nervous system. It can last for days(for me).

Whatever it is it is real. Trust it and use it
