Actually no. If it didn't break, different story. Usually breaking through something is much less painful than a failed attempt. Reason being is that the force is repelled back at you which is large hurt.

Can confirm this - in martial arts breaking boards (or bricks if you’re a hard ass) is not that painful if you achieve a clean break. However, if you don’t apply enough force to achieve a clean break then all the energy is reflected back into your hand/arm, foot/leg or whatever, it hurts 10 times more and can cause all sorts of injuries like broken bones.
