Well, with the big cuts you usually pass out from loss of blood.

Why is it that when you get cut, and you don't see it, it doesn't hurt. But when you look at it, thats when it start's to hurt?

Doesn't your body releases a chemical that acts as pain killers? Maybe thats why bigger wounds don't hurt as much............. SOMETIMES!

I believe they call that blood, and once your body releases enough of it, you don't feel the pain anymore.

Once the threshold of unbearable is passed, the brain no longer processes all the neural signals. In effect it &quot;blocks out&quot; the pain signals so you don't go insane.
