I just discovered how the timing and intensity of my pain varies. I noticed that I feel a sharp or deep dull pain minutes to an hour before an earthquake in the area. However, there is also a "slow-burning" that takes place with other events. I can feel pains several days before more magnitude 3 or bigger quakes occur. I took note of an event in July 2014. I was feeling side pains on and off for 3 days instead of a sudden sharp pain minutes before a magnitude 4.6 struck near Big Bear. I speculate that in those cases, there was already some energy welling up and ready to pop, but it took longer to release in the form of a minor quake. It was like it could not make up its mind. Then there are those that suddenly form and release. It gets pumped in at a high speed which would cause a sudden intense pain. I feel relief whenever the seismic waves hit after it is released. Whenever it is a slow-burning event or events, I not only feel pain on and off for a few days, but I also noticed that I feel a sore spot in my side. It hurts as I poke it. After an increase in earthquakes around Southern California, the soreness diminishes. I have that periodically. The first time I really noticed the soreness was in April. It has been gradually becoming more active out here over the past year. Before that, I used to not have that where it felt like I had a bruise there.
