Best Answer

In response to a traumatic injury the human body releases a series of hormones, namely Epinephrine, but also endorphines. This is part of the 'flight or fight' response where the body ceases any non-vital functions (digestion for example) and the heart rate, blood pressure and lung capacity al increase to maximise your chances of survival. Epinephrine has pain killing properties and acts on the central nervous system. Often the release of adrenaline is an immediate response and will wear off, hence when those who have a severe injury feel no pain initially but it 'hits' after a couple of minutes.

How do you stop cutting without seeking professional help?

It is my understanding that people do it because the self inflicted pain distracts them from the emotional pain they are feeling. First you must address your emotional pain. Find out why you are cutting. What is it that you do not want to feel, what pain are you trying to cover up? Then you must address that pain, eliminate that stress from your life. Cutting is an addiction as well. You have to want to stop in order to stop. You just stop doing it, use your will power, be strong. But if you are a cutter you probably need professional help, not particularly to stop cutting but to address the deep emotional pain that you are feeling.

When you excerise you get pain in your calf muscles and lose feeling to your feet. What is wrong?

You have probably injured a nerve in your legs/calf muscles that connect to your feet which causes numbness in your foot muscles. You should stop the exercise you are doing and see a Doctor or a Physiotherapist before the pain and loss of feeling gets worse.
