Think how often you've hurt yourself but only realised it when you then jar the thing you hurt latter on.

Yeah, this is true. Our "Gating" response tends to register "outside" pain and "inside" pain as two different things. I personally have never broken a bone (and I've been in plenty of situations where I
should have), but I've hurt myself plenty. If you're a experienced martial artist or combatant (or in my case, scrapper) you come to expect a certain amount of pain that comes with a fight. Fight bite, bruises, etc. are just part of the territory. By accepting them and moving on you tend to ignore them until the adrenaline isn't flowing.
