Answer 1

Dysesthesia is pain not experienced by a normal nervous system.

Paresthesia or paraesthesia (paraesthesia in British English) is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of a person's skin with no apparent long-term physical effect, more generally known as the feeling of pins and needles.

hypesthesia - impairment of tactile sensitivity; decrease of sensitivity

astereognosis - a loss of the ability to recognize objects by handling them

An analgesic (colloquially known as a painkiller) is any member of the diverse group of drugs used to relieve pain and to achieve analgesia.

Anesthesia or anaesthesia (see spelling differences) has traditionally meant the process of blocking the perception of pain and other sensations.
