Why do injuries hurt more in cold weather?

Why do scrapes and paper cuts hurt a lot more then more severe injuries?

  • Why do such minor injuries sting and burn so much more then other injuries?

  • Answer:

    I guess you haven't experienced a severe injury; because that is completely false. However, given say burns, a 3rd degree (most severe) burn can actually be painless, whilst a 1st or 2nd degree burn can hurt like hell, and this is attributed to the damaging of the nerve endings at the location of the injury. No nerve endings = no pain

perhaps it is because when you get a major injury, your body outputs endorphins to help u cope with the pain. And since a scrath or paper cut isnt so bad, then your body sees no reason to go into that mode.

Because all the nerves are in the upper part of your skin, so when you get a papercut or a scrape, you are tearing away at those nerves. Those that don't get utterly destroyed during the injury are exposed to open air, and if the air is cold, it hurts a lot more.
