Huh, come to think of it, her Semblance is about absorbing the damage from attacks and redirecting it. She complained about Adam being able to do it without being injured, but perhaps she can too in a sense. Adam is apparently able to extend his Semblance to an object he is holding, but Yang has a prosthetic arm. Perhaps she really can absorb the damage without getting hurt so long as it is her prosthetic taking the damage since it is attached to her body. I think her complaint about not having to feel it was more so about what the writers have told us, that Aura does not block pain, even when it protects from injury. So whenever Yang is gaining energy for her Semblance, she's not actually getting hurt or injured or what-have-you, but she is feeling the pain.
