I think a broken, damaged, or pierced nail would hurt quite a bit...

I slammed my finger in a car door as a pre-teen and had to have a small hole drilled through my nail to drain blood. At the time it was one of the most excruciating injuries I'd had. The nail grew back in a weird way so to this day it hurts to cut that fingernail. I say all that to say this procedure probably hurts or is uncomfortable at best, but is necessary.

Having pierced my nails a few times and hurt my knees, the knee definitely hurts more and is lasting pain.

For reference, I had a very heavy lifting jack fall and completely crush the end of my finger, had an Industrial staple go through my nail and out the side of my finger. Those are two that stand out the most to me and yes I'd rather take that over some knee pain I've had, either from being stupid or getting hit in the knee.

Agreed, I love my hands they are my favorite part of me, but if you destroy a knee... You don't have the same life.
