Your discomfort sounds excessive to me too. Perhaps you need to make sure you don't have an infection under the skin?
I've only had 4 biopsies (all manual and under only local anaesthesia to the site) and even though one of them was so painful that I wanted to burst out crying by the end, I still only experienced mild discomfort (like a bruise) afterwards when leaning on the site.
