The process of having a feeding tube inserted into one's nose is extremely painful, much more so than you'd expect. Out of all the injuries I've had (e.g. broken collar bone, 4 concussions, etc), none reached the immediate pain intensity level as having a feeding tube inserted. For me, the tube felt way too small to fit. Blood started trickling down the back of my throat and my whole body seized up in pain. It's scary to have such an internalized pain immediately next to one's brain.
