random pains

its been months sense ive cut. and the last one i did wasnt much of one anyway. but my arm random sharp pains from my wrist to my elbow, where i used to cut. i think its really weird because they can happen when im sad, bored, happy, or anything really.
it that normal?
does it even have anything to do with my past cutting?

how bad were the cuts? when i had my relapse they were pretty bad. and i had sharp pain for a few weeks..

this can be the ause of past cutting. you may have went over a vaine but you didn't hit it. and that could be the cause of pain you been having.

You gotta understand that the mind is super powerful and you might have these feelings because you are thinking about inflicting the pain again...

both recovering and the lost are right. if it's physical then you very well may have damaged tissue that needs to heal over a long period of time, but it totally could also be very much a mind over matter situation. if that's the case then you just have to MAINTAIN honey...MAINTAIN!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
