At least for me.

I had a toothache and a co worker told me to follow the steps from this page:

And now the ache is gone just a numb feeling

Mind I am still going to see a dentist but they didn’t have and free time until Friday, so this was an excellent alternative to painkillers.

How come that this works?

Pain is in the mind, Grasshopper. Embrace the pain, be One with it.

[EDIT] Sorry. Best guess, by hynotising yourself you 'fool' yourself into ignoring the pain. As you say, it was numb rather than painful - that means (I think) the signal still goes to the brain, but the brain just doesn't want to hear it.

Looks like a bit of quackery, but I'll look into it. My dad is an anesthesiologist, so he should know more of this than I

I need to get hypnotized to sit properly!

Ad Hoc fallacy?
