Pain or further proof I'm completely fucked up

Don't worry this isn't a rant over how some guy did me wrong or some other equally valid heartache, I actually have discovered something about physical pain. I hate pain, I am the biggest pain wus you may ever meet, so this discovery concerns me just a little.

The tap in my bathroom is possessed. It randomly decides it's going to scald you, I know this is a common problem among taps, with no warning and very suddenly. At first I would swear like a sailor when the rush of hot water attacked, but, it has been several months and I have grown used to it and expect it. Recently, I have been analyzing the pain of being scalded. It is an amazingly sharp pain that, when you concentrate on it, makes your teeth want to fall out. It is not isolated to my poor little soapy hands, it shoots up my arm to my elbow. I can feel it moving up my arms, through my ulna, my skin, and my blood. My spine tightens. And I salivate. When the pain hits my elbow, it hits my funny bone. All of this from seconds of scalding water. Amazing.

My friend a homeopath(sp?) says that you should take showers with Hot and Cold water.....a few minutes of really hot, and few minutes of really cold....then repeat. It gets the blood flowing and helps your skin and muscles. It feels great.

Your fibula is a leg bone. Try radius, ulna or humerus instead. Good luck with the tap ;)
