Literally.
Ok.. here's the deal.
Over the last few days, particularly when I bend over to do anything, i get this sharp pain in my left cheek... not like a deep muscle ache, but like dozens of needles.. very sharp. prickly pains.
It's kind of off to the side, near the hip area.
I wonder if this has to do with play from Sunday.
I was at a lifestyle event and four Doms/Dommes participated in a contest... each took 5 minutes with each of four subs (I was one of the subs).
I remember one stroke early on was very hard.. it's an area that some Doms really seem to target, but an area where i just really don't have a whole lot of flesh, regardless of being a big woman, lol
The pain in that location , the sting rather, lingered throughout the evening, then starting the next day... i was fine, except when i'd bend over and get these sharp pains.
I dont' have any marks on me, no bruises, etc.
I'm disappointed because given the situation, i felt i had to cancel a play date tonight. I simply didn't want to risk any further injury.
So... perhaps some of you more experienced might be able to tell me if you've experienced this in the days after playing.. and if so, is it something i should be concerned about?
Is there anything I can do to alleviate it?
I know you're not doctors... just looking for anyone who might have some idea if this might be a result of being hit too hard, and if so, what i might do .
Also... do any of you subs find this area to be particularly sensitive?
It's not the fleshy part of the cheek... but more off to the side. Seems certain Doms just love to target that area, which as i said, on me in really kinda boney.

Well you already are. The pins and needles is usually a sign of nerve crunching.

Anywhere that's closer to bone is more sensitive and prone to injury.

It might be the play, or it might be the position you were in for a long time. Or it might just be your body finding a new creak in itself.

No clue.

hmmmmmmmmmmm......................from what you write, I'd say a bit of target practise for the top is in order. If you use canes or other impact toys too close to the bones you can chip bones, damage nerves if you are unlucky.

guess it is for you to find out which of the 4 to educate on body structure and safe areas to play with.

Good luck with that

If in doubt if it is safe......don't hit it.........and another thing that I was reading............."you got hit hard early on" ?? that raises a red flag for me, just like you don't go and push a 17 inch dildo up ones arse without lubricant..........you don't beat up cold flesh.............it is safer to build up the tolerance.......and GO SLOW. 5 minutes for me is not even a start of warmup. The last play party warmup was about 30 minutes...........she was so well into space at that time that she and I played for 3+ hours. 4X5 minutes in impact plays (IMHO) isn't even worth the time........as it also (see your example) leads to unpleasant surprises after.

cheers

Depends on what you're going for. If you know how to hit someone and know the partner well enough, hitting someone cold very hard shouldn't be a problem. Remember, some sadists like HURTING their partner, not making them feel yummy.

However, it could have been just a weird shot. Like in bondage, for some people you have to tie ropes around their upper arm. For some you have to tie ropes near their elbow. Our bodies are all very different when it comes to specific alignments and issues.

If it is close to bone likely something in there was crushed when hit between whatever was striking and the bone. Could be a nerve, could be a small blood vessel, could be a lot of things but from the sound of it you are more in discomfort or light pain than pain that would point to something serious. Just what were you hit with? Knowing if it was something softer and more giving like a hand or leather or something harder like a cane or wooden paddle could give a better idea of what happened. Soft items like a hand or leather would be more prone to bruising or smashing, which sounds like more of the case. Hard items like a cane can chip bone, but from the discription unless it is an extremely small chip doesn't quite sound like what you have but is possible if it is everytime you bend over or move right, could be from the ship moving or slicing but usualy pins and needles doesn't go with chips. Unless maybe it is effecting a nerve but I would go more to something bruised smashed or just knocked around a bit.

I'd give it a few days and see if it goes away, take it easy on the area, and no play with the area. Heating pads can help on loosening things up and speeding the process up. If it doesn't go away in a few days to a week depending on how bad it is or it gets worse or keeps going away and coming back I'd consult a doctor just to be safe.

It sounds like you may have strained something in your lower back.........it often shows up as the type of pain you mention, and it winds up being right in the that exact spot. Could have just been the position you were in.........it's a possibility.

yup wraparounds are also a possibility, thanks for updating that and yes hurting does not equal injuring does it ? :)

Sounds like an inflamed nerve or a deeply bruised muscle, and rest and heat is the best thing ... can also try over the counter anti-imflammatory meds .. if lasting longer then a couple of weeks ...then i would see a Doc ... but it can take a long time to heal

Feel better...

cravin,
Sounds like you have some peripheral nerve damage. Within the surface of bones are little groves where the nerves are. If you inflame one, by a striking the area repeatedly or by hitting it in exactly the right (wrong) spot you can cause some damage. Think of it like your "funny bone". When you tap that it doesn't leave a bruise and doesn't take much of blow to create that tingling sensation.

From Web MD:

quote:

Our nerves are sensitive paths along which our body relays electrical information between our senses and our brain. One system of nerves branch out from our spinal cord to sense things like movement, pain, tactile sensation, temperature, etc. When damaged, these functions become scrambled or have reduced sensitivity. Something goes wrong in some part of the nerve. Perhaps it?s in the myelin, the membranous lining of nerve cells in which axons float. Or it could be in the axons, which are connectors responsible for transferring the electrical impulses from one cellular body to the next. Even the nerve cells can get injured.

Best advise is to never strike any area of your body that has a bone close to the surface.

Their treatment? An anti-inflammatory. I guess they would also suggest to "stay off of it".

Good Luck!

i'd think you'd likely get the advice to take anti-inflammatories (at least 500mg 3 times a day would be common). rather than heat, which causes edema (swelling) which you do NOT want, ice can help to decrease inflammation.

the myelin sheath is more of a coating for the nerve, not a lining. if damaged by crushing, nerves can recover if the pressure is off fairly soon. if not, it could last. if the nerve is damaged, but the myelin sheath is intact, the nerve will grow back down the sheath (about 1" a month). i'd definitely avoid any further "play" on that area for a while.

if the pain starts shooting down your leg, a physician consultation might be a good idea as this would be indicative of sciatic nerve involvement.
i wish you well with it.

Hi Cravin',

Several years ago I fell off the top of a fighter jet in the hangar and hurt my hip pretty good. I had the same kind of impact pains that you are describing. The doctors told me that I should take 800 mg of Ibuprofen every eight hours to reduce the swelling when my hip was hurting. He also suggested that I try alternating heat and ice packs (10 minutes each) to lessen the pain and help the healing.

I would also suggest that if this pain doesn't diminish by this weekend that you consider getting an X-ray to see if there is a bone chip. Better safe than sorry.

This is very good advice (on all points). It's what I would (and have) done.

My first thought was "sciatica" but that's perhaps over used. Needle and pin pain just sucks, there's nothing good about it.

The 1" a month estimate above is consistent with my recovery when I suffered extensive damage to my brachial plexus (nerve bunch that runs from your chest to your upper arm, sort of by way of the front of your arm pit). Took about 2 years to get it all back, but it did come back. That was a severe motorcycle accident, though.

I've gotten sensations you describe during and after a spanking. The one time I experienced it I stopped the play and we were barely warmed up (someone I'd played with extensively before). It was upsetting because I've taken significantly worse spankings, it was just the wrong day for it I guess. The sensations subsided after a few inconvenient days of ice and anti inflammatories. Icing your ass is no fun.

Feel better soon.

My guess, and I'm no doctor... But if you only get the pins and needles sensation when bending over, it sounds like most likely you have a bruise that pinches the nerve when you're in that position.

The info already posted about accelerating the healing of the bruise is prolly your best bet. And see a doctor if it doesn't at least get a little bit better in the next couple of weeks.
