I figured this would happened. At the moment, my knees hurt like hell, everything else felt fine. At which point I figured, okay, it's going to be my elbow that turns out to be hurt the worst. Sure enough, a few hour later, my knees feel fine, but the little bump on my elbow hurts like a sonofabich. Still confident it's nothing severe, but owwie.
I'm sure there's some sort of evolutionary physiological reason for that, it almost always seems to be the case. Whatever hurts the worst initially probably isn't the worst damage you did to yourself. Perhaps it's a result of the fact that often the best thing to do for the worst injury is leave it the fvck alone, so you're better off being distracted by some superficial injury that you can't make worse and can make yourself feel better by treating that.
