Pain And Shock

[Milklove]

So, experiencing severe pain and/ or realizing that you have been injured, as in torture, a car accident or surgery triggers a cascade of stress hormones which can then lead to shock and trauma. Do you know whether just moderate pain can trigger the same cascade of stress hormones?
I am wondering, because if that were true, activities like waxing yourself or really forcing the last repetition of an exercise might be harmful.
Any ideas?

yes, eat more sugar to combat stress in proportion to the stress.
