(ELI5) Does distance from the brain impact how much pain is felt?

Curious if pain in your hand is more intense or less intense than a pain on your foot because of the distance the signal must travel.

Intensity have nothing to do with distance traveled, especially that those are signals that travel a minimal distance i would say more about the time that the reaction occur than the intensity of it.

I am not a professional in this so please educate me if a am wrong
