What a fascinating story. I have no trouble believing that body and mind would forever link this experience and replicate the physical pain with only a mental trigger later on, knowing that our body accumulate flaw lines: through regular exercise, I don't have backaches anymore...but two days before my period, the area around my lumbar spine gives me enough trouble to contemplate more exercises, or painkillers. It's right where my crushed vertebra is - where the neurobiological path for pain impulses is, in my case, more like the friggin' Autobahn. ;)

Weird memories I can come up with - the above doesn't even count; pain memory as such is well-documented - but I honestly think I probably told most of them. *g*
