Sensitive skin and/or allergy to staple components could be the culprits. Could also be the anticipation that it will hurt. It does sting a little, but I've never had them hurt like that. Next time, you can try softening with a couple sprays of wound cleanser before taking them out. You probably didn't do anything wrong, so don't beat yourself up.
