What's Happening to Pain?
Pain is very complicated. Talk to any doctor who treats people for pain. It's one of the most complex things because you have the physiological thing that's happening and then there's this perception or this experience of pain. So I think what's happening is something to do with the cannabinoids, the local cannabinoids in the skin that are changing the way that your brain receives the pain signal. This is why somebody who's been working out for a long time will experience the pain of exercise differently than somebody who's a beginner. They don't perceive it as uncomfortable because they've built this different relationship.
