She only felt a tug, but she didn't feel any excruciating pain. Sometimes when people get severely injured, they don't feel much pain since the brain already knows there's pain. But Bethany experienced what's called phantom pain, when you feel pain for a limb that's not there and this happens when pain receptors don't reach the brain until after the limb is gone.
