I've had a wart removed by liquid nitrogen and by scalpel. Obviously for the scalpel one, they gave me an injection of local anesthesia (like what they give at the dentist's office) but the local anesthesia hurt all on it's own, of course.
My experience was that the liquid nitrogen hurt just as much as the injection of the local anesthetic but the liquid nitrogen didn't leave anywhere near as big of a scar as the scalpel excision.
Should I have to do it again, I'll choose liquid nitrogen. Your mileage may vary, of course.

I had liquid nitrogen put on my warts yesterday, on my fingers and ankles. For me the pain was like a bad burning, but its not the worst pain you can feel. I have to go back for ms treatments because usually warts dont just go away with 1 treatment. Good luck! (:

I had a few small warts blasted on the back of my right hand by my GP and it was not painful at all, a bit like a pin pricking at the skin slightly and it was a bit sore & red afterwards for a day or two.

A needle kills all pain and then get it burned off.
