Only a part of your brain is responsible for consciousness. Your body only sends signals to your brain and part of your brain subconsciously decides how to deal with them. If a part of the brain decides to tell the other part of the brain to form consciousness, that's when you yourself feel it. Otherwise it would just pass as "didn't notice". The signals of pain or whatever will be ignored and have no further effects.
Do you see your nose? You should but your brain always subconsciously tricks you. You body (including part of the brain) and your cognition are not truly connected. Just co-existing cells that like to communicate with each other.
