I decided to put on my working shoes anyway, and just see how much work the pruning of two trees would be exactly, so I could plan it for tomorrow. Then I started anyway ("maybe do 10 minutes just to have the idea I did something"). Then I broke out my heavier tools and ladder. Then I completely pruned them and cleaned up the debris. Hard work.

By that time the pain was zero.

I have had this happen before several times, and it's almost like Im' "faking" or "wanting attention". But I'm not, I don't even mention it to my wife or anything. I really was in real pain and then I was not. How the hell is this even possible? Blood flow? Oxygen?

My feet should hurt more (like normal people...) after 2 hours of hard work, not less. They feel comfortable now, just slightly numb.

Weird.
I know what you mean by this. I have been diagnosed with PN for a few years now but have it under control most of the time with the right medication.

I also do not complain about it very often as I do not believe there is much point. This, however, led to the following comment from my own mother.

" There was something on the news the other night about that thing you used to have."
