It's hard for me to understand how a person could have a sense of touch but not feel pain. It seems like touch is just a continuum where pain is where it crosses over into being unpleasant. I've always been similarly confused about how painkillers work. Pain must somehow be an actually different thing than regular touch, but I don't get how this can be.
