The freezing process is absolutely painless. I had a wart on
my pointing finger, just next to the side of the nail, and had
it frozen. Fizz went the liquid nitrogen on a special cotton bud
when it was applied. I happily looked at the frozen wart, and
thought "That's got you, you blighter!". Absolutely painless!

Then, it began to thaw out, and it started to hurt. I abandoned
my attempt to talk to the receptionist (to arrange another
appointment), due to hopping up and down in pain, not wanting
to look a fool, and drove home saying/shouting "Ooooh! AAARGH
OW, OW, OW!!!" and other such words.... it felt as though I'd
squashed the end of my finger with something *very* heavy.

Quite possible. You can help warts on their way by keeping
them covered up and greased with copious quantities of
vaseline. Another way would be to have them charmed, but
that depends on the person doing it.
