How much does a tooth extraction hurt?

I need a molar taking out (upper). Not the back one but the one infront of it. I know I;ll get anaesthetic but realistically how much is it still going to hurt? I'm feeling really anxious about it. I've had root canal before which was ok.

I have vague memories of a tooth extraction when I was little and the nurse pulling on my head while the dentist pulled on my tooth and think I need some vallium at the thought of that again!

Well I couldn't eat for 2 days and I had to take a nap after the extraction once I got home dosed with codeine. There was so much force where my whole face felt like I was punched several times.
