A true toe story from over 20 years ago, that I still don't understand to this day. Banged a toe badly on the iron bed leg in my little apartment. It hurt like hell for two days. Then I managed to bang it the same way again. Sat on the bed in tears for a bit. Did manage to fall asleep before too long. Woke up, and the toe didn't hurt a bit. So maybe if you just kick something hard?
