Why do doctors usually say there might be some pressure/discomfort before doing something that’s going to hurt real bad?

Why do they tend to downplay it so much most of the time? Do they truly not think it will be painful? Or is there some other reason for that?

When you’re numbed, you don’t feel the pain, but you feel *something*. It’s a palpable feeling that could be described as “pressure.” If a doctor is telling you that, that’s why. If pain is expected, they should be telling you that too. The dentist says you’ll feel “a pinch” when getting the novacain, etc
