Minchas Chinuch (241:1–2): Contrary to the view of the Chinuch that the prohibition of revenge applies to all matters, we find in the Rambam(Hilchos De’os 7:7) and Yoma(23a) that it only applies to monetary issues. In contrast suffering is not governed by the prohibition of revenge or bearing a grudge. Not to take revenge concerning suffering from others is only recommended as an aspect of piety and not halacha according to Yoma(23a) while the Rambam doesn’t mention it even as an aspect of piety. The Chinuch does not mention the distinction between money and physical suffering and apparently holds that all issues are governed by the prohibition against revenge - in direct contradiction to the gemora. Furthermore it also seems from the Semag(11th prohibition) that there is no prohibition against revenge concerning physical suffering…
