Like if i anesthesiniase(?)my arm and then slap it i wouldn’t feel anything at the moment of the slap but once the anesthesia effect disappeared I would begin to feel the pain left by the slap.
Why does this happen?
Also I ve tried multiple times to succefuly write the verb of the word anesthesia but i really don’t know how to and i ve given up on it

It’s kind of like a car: if you blow a tire, your car stops. After letting the car sit for a while, why does it still not roll even though you’re not sitting directly on top of the nail that blew your tire? Because the tire’s still blown.
If you get stabbed (for example), even after the knife has been pulled out there’s still fundamental damage to your body. Same thing if you’ve been punched: there are still dead cells that don’t get fixed just because you’re no longer mid-punch.
Those dead cells and squished neurons are what are causing pain, not the punch itself.
The verb form of anesthesia is anesthetize.
If you slap yourself hard enough to do damage, you can still feel it after the numbing goes away because the cellular damage you left is physically still there and being repaired.
If you tear a muscle normally then again under anesthesia, the recovery will feel the same; you still tore the muscle both times even if you were only initially aware of it one of the times.
