Is there a way to make a person's body part go numb so that they can no longer feel physical pain?
user
Yes, there are medical procedures that can make a person’s body part go numb so that they can no longer feel physical pain. A nerve block is one such procedure and it involves injecting an anesthetic directly into or around the nerve(s) which supply sensation to a particular area of the body. This will prevent the transmission of impulses along the nerves, and thus eliminate any feelings of pain from that part of the body.

Yes, certain medical conditions and treatments can cause numbness of the body part which can result in a lack of physical pain sensation. In some cases, this can be permanent and in other cases it may be temporary. Examples include peripheral neuropathy and surgical anesthesia.
