When you are numb does surgery hurt?

I have had experience with local anesthesia, which causes certain parts of your body to become numb. No, the surgery does not hurt. The anesthesia basically tells your nerves not to tell you that you're in pain. You will feel that something is happening, but you won't feel any pain. If you are put to sleep, however, you won't feel anything, and if the surgery is serious enough, you will be put into a coma, preventing your body from reacting to the surgery at all. You will be brought out of the coma when the surgery is done and you won't have felt a thing.
