The pain was there, but just the fact that all I did was touch my arm caused me to all of a sudden feel sorry for myself. Feeling sorry for myself didn't last very long, but still, people don't realize what goes through a person's mind when something so simple becomes so painful. Not just physically, but emotionally. Not just the body, but the mind and soul. Tender points are relative.
Pain tolerance is the key factor here.
