Hand Cannulas

The last time I had a a hand cannula it was legitiately more painful than the actual emergency I was in the hospital for. I know cannulas are a normal part of giving birth in a hospital and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with them? Online it says they aren't supposed to hurt but when I had one put in it was aching and burning the whole time.
Thank you for your replies!

@FangedFrisbee Yes. I know. Considering the worst I do is grimace or a sharp inhale when it comes to needles. It really was that painful and I couldn't help it. Awful experience.
