Yes, it makes sense. Period pain used to be a major trigger for me.
I believe that its something to do with how self harming is more within your control, whereas backpain, period pain, headaches and suchlike are for the most part out of our control.
It is a kind of instinct to feel the need to have some control. Especially when other areas of our lives feel out of control, and physical pain in the body reminds us of that.
