Does it hurt to have pins removed from your finger?

I messed up my hand pretty bad with a table saw. I sliced part my index finger and also broke a bone (the bone at the end of my finger) I had a pin in for 4 weeks and had it removed yesterday. The actual removal of the pin didn't hurt too bad and the pin came out easy.

On a scale of 1-10, it was about a 3.

I still can't bend my finger very much though.

Also, the doctor said he removed a pin from a lady and the pin was very difficult to get out. I imagine hers hurt a lot more than mine.
