How come when Daredevil actually DOES get hit by something it isn't incredibly painful?

Question

I thought ALL his other senses (apart from sight) were heightened, so would that not mean if he were hit by say a rolled up sock, it would feel like he was being hit by a fastball.

Answer 1

There are separate receptors in human skin for pain, heat, cold, slight touch, and strong pressure. Maybe Daredevil's pain receptors are normal, while the others are all more sensitive.

Answer 2

The first answerer has it right.

Pain is a different level of receptors that the brain interprets - apart from the five senses. Only the five information gathering senses are what has been heightened for Daredevil. So if he was hit by a rolled up sock, it'd feel like a rolled up sock. But if he were to sniff said rolled up sock after it's been used, then he would be dizzy from the fumes!
