What is it about pain that makes it feel good?

I'm not asking for everyone to tell me to not hurt myself. I just want to know, is there someting about pain that makes you feel good? i want a scientific answer, not an emotional anser. (I'm refering to cutting to be more specific)

Answer:
Since your body has an automatic defense system that releases adrenaline when your in pain you will get a rush of energy and get a natural high. But, don't hurt yourself... TRY RUNNING!
It's logical that a certain amount of pain would cause the body to produce serotonins to protect your mind for shock. People who are shot sometimes don't even realize it until they see blood or someone tells them.
