Answer 1

Yes, herpes sores are very painful.

Symptoms of a primary (first) outbreak of genital herpes can include:
+ Flulike symptoms, such as fever, headache, and muscle aches. These symptoms usually get better within a week.
Tingling, burning, itching, and redness at the site where an outbreak is about to occur (prodrome).
+ Painful, itchy blisters on the penis, on the vulva, or inside the vagina. Blisters may also appear on the anus, buttocks, thighs, or scrotum, either alone or in clusters. They may be barely noticeable or as large as a coin.
+ Blisters that break and become shallow, painful, oozing sores.
+ Swollen and tender lymph nodes in the groin.
+ Painful urination.
+ Abnormal vaginal or urethral discharge.

Answer 2

It's always good to be educated about STDs -- glad you're asking an important question! Here are some of the signs and symptoms of herpes, and you'll find excellent, medically-reviewed information at the link I've included for you : )

Early symptoms (prodromal phase) of an outbreak may include itching or burning in the genital or anal area. Other early symptoms may include:

Fever, muscle aches, swollen glands and other flu-like symptoms
Pain in the legs, buttocks or genital area
Vaginal discharge
A feeling of pressure in the area below the stomach
Within a few days, sores appear near where the virus entered the body, such as the mouth, vagina or penis. They can also occur inside the vagina and on the cervix in women and in the urinary passage (urethra) in men.
