I have found it depends who is doing the BMB. Some doctors are really good at it while others - not so much. And it probably also depends on how hard your bones are. I don't have sedation, and I think I have a high pain threshold. But I have had them hurt like he**. When that happens, they usually put in more lidocaine (or whatever it is) and wait for it to sink in before continuing. It's not the most comfortable thing in the world for sure.
The thoughts of a mallet though - ew! Perish the thought!
