Cuffs Off, Rub Wrists

Entries

 * Having been arrested, this troper can attest to poorly fitted handcuffs rubbing, and when removed rubbing the wrists to allow circulation is not unusual.


 * Having been handcuffed to a chair before (long story), this troper can attest that an hour with your hands cuffed behind your back will leave you with sore wrists and unsightly red marks, both of which can be somewhat alleviated by rubbing your wrists.


 * This troper is taking classes in Law Enforcement and after being cuffed fifty times a day in the space of two hours... very quickly learned to wrap my wrists when the instructer says to get the cuffs out.


 * This troper has heard that when massaging an injured area, the stimulus from the massage reaches the brain first (or something to that effect), so rubbing your wrists after being bound makes sense.
 * This was brought up in a class taken by this troper. See: [Gate Control] theory of pain.


 * This troper had played a part in a Shakespeare play (Twelfth Night), in which he was arrested and had his hands bound. The end scene had various characters on stage at the same time, but without lines, so everyone had to come up with an action to occupy themselves with. Having just been released from bondage, guess what this troper did?


 * This Tropette has been cuffed many times for....reasons we'll not get into in detail but you can use your imagination, when you're being suspended from the ceiling for a few hours at a time, the cuffs you're wearing need to be on pretty tight, and it does tend to cut off circulation so when you're let loose the first thing you do of course is Cuffs Off Rubs Wrists.
