Oh, man. This brings back memories. I did this every time I loaded any game into the system. My PS1 had issues with the balls on the disc spindle that locked the disc in place. I had no idea and had so many issues with discs not loading until I discovered it. Then it became the disc equivalent of popping the cartridge out of the SNES and re-seating it until it worked. Eventually, I had to replace the balls as they fell out but as a broke college student, I just crumpled small bits of aluminum foil into similar sized balls and stuffed them in there. Worked great after that.

The amount of pain depends on the circumstances, but “tiny bit” doesn’t come close to the reality. There can be a lot of physical pain, but there is also a HUGE emotional component that comes with it and will linger a lot longer than the physical pain.

My wife and I experienced three. There is a period of mourning because it does feel like a loss, especially for her.
