>interesting, do you mean something like your brain anticipates pain and that's why you feel pain in your hands?More or less. All pain you feel is your nerves sending your brain signals going "DANGER!". Your brain sorts it out and decides whether to interpret it as pain based on how dangerous it thinks it is. When you're injured badly enough, or feel pain long enough, your brain cements the associated activity as painful.
Here's an example
>typingIf I do a little bit of it, my knuckles hurt. I can't do it consistently.
>placing picrel on a table and pressing down on it to mimic typing, with increased resistanceNot painful unless I do a bunch of it. Because my brain doesnt think of this activity as 'typing'.
