I often knock into something, yell "fuck!" because it hurts, then immediately forget about it when it stops hurting.

If you are like that, no worries, maybe a little more mindfulness.

If you mean something like Trump, big bruises on your hand spontaneously? Go to a doctor, please.

I wonder if cursing sparingly but only during painful stuff actually activates the endogenous opioid system more to provide analgesia to the pain

There have been MRI studies that show swearing reduces pain response in the brain.

Is that benefit attenuated by prophylactic opioid antagonist?
