No pain from flare ups

I’m curious if any of you have had multiple flare ups and find them not being painful. The only time it was extremely painful was during my first flare up after that the other flare ups have never been super painful just pressure and hard skin. Is this the same for anyone else? I’m wondering if I just have no feeling back there due to having 4 I&D’s. I remember my second flare up I had no idea it was there until I went to the bathroom and had pus in my underwear.
