I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're looking for, but I wanted to say that feeling invalidated and having your boundaries (especially your expressed boundaries!) violated is in and of itself distressing. I don't believe you need to have a history of injury to object to people kicking you in the shins, basically, and if you've pointed out that those are your shins and they keep kicking, you're particularly reasonably distressed.
I don't know if that addresses what you're talking about here, but I know I sometimes feel like I need some kind of justification for objecting to shin-kicking directed toward me, and I've learned that I don't. It's wrong in the first place.
