There have been many threads regarding pain, and peoples relationship with it.
Once i discovered that there were many types of pain that i could enjoy and gain pleasure from,, i found  i began to wonder  about  the possibility of enjoying other types of pain as well.  I'm not referring to self induced pain, but more of the "incidental" type.
I've experimented with the concept now and then just out of curiousity, but just the other day i felt like i had reached an exciting breakthrough in this area.
I was doing some work on my pool, there is a large flowering bush next to it...and i've been having to skim the surface to remove the tiny seemingly endless buds. I was  going back and forth skimming...when my shin came into contact with one of the aluminum struts (it's a large above ground pool). Needless to say...a sharp rap to the shins is not what most would consider pleasureable and at that point neither did i. I'm not sure if it was the unlevel ground...but each time i passed over a particular strut i seemed to knock that exact same spot on my shin.  By the time i was finished, i had been concentrating so hard  on letting that pain flow through me, that i was actually able to enjoy it...and was almost aroused by it. That includes the accompanying hot painful throb.

I suppose what i'm asking is:
Can incidental pain be channeled  into pleasure?
And are there others who are successful at it?
OR....Am i just a hopelessly weird type of masochist?

Physically that association works much the same way. However, being able to take more physical pain does not equate being indestructable. It just means you can keep pushing onward. However, the physical ramifications, if taken too far, can end you in more trouble than it is worth.

I can't deal with emotional pain. I crumble. It takes having to remove myself from the picture and vent somewhere to deal with it. I know I have a lot of work to do with it too.

That makes sense amayos, what in your opinion would be an example of that.

I dont know. I just know there was a period in time where I was getting them 2-3 times a month, once 3 in a row, 1 each night. I think it is poor nutrition, either not enough potassium or not enough vitamin E (from what I've heard). Could also be maybe laying in one spot all night, maybe a bad matress. Once I'm on my back or stomach when I go to sleep, I don't move.

Might also be over-exercising them. Last night I did a long  lower body exercise session. (I use my masochism to my advantage, pushing it till muscular exhaustion). Although I have heard this is not the case, and there are even stretches you can do to loosen a charliehorse and get the pain to go away. You just have to deal with the added pain of the stretch on a cramped muscle, which would turn some people off of doing them. What I don't get is with every possible way to cramp yourself. charliehorses seem to be the most painful.

actually charlie horses are over exerted muscles I think they are also dehydrated which happens during physical exercising
 
this is why some athletes take creatine as it expands the muscle cells and allows more water into them so that they heal better without the pain of charlie horses ..
