why does shaking help us to relieve pain?

Okay for example, when you burn your finger your immediate reaction is to shake it and somehow it relieves the pain, or if you’re desperate for the toilet you start shaking your leg it makes the pain more bearable. Why is this??

Shaking or moving your body part helps increase blood circulation, which in turn brings in pain relieving enzymes to the wound.

That’s why they suggest exercising your arm after getting the vaccine, to help spread the vaccine around and keep your arm from getting too sore.
