I have two cats, a small tortie point siamese (Luigi) who is declawed 
(front only) and a very large gold tiger-stripe (Arthur) who is the
proud owner of all ten claws.  Arthur uses a scraching post; Luigi uses
the sofa, thus the difference.  (Yes, Luigi also scratches as tho he still
had claws.)

The day after his surgery, Luigi walked very tenderly and his paws obviously
hurt considerably.  But a couple of days later he was fine.  It was much less
traumatic than having him fixed;  I walked it to the vet with my trusting
kitty as she asks "Oh, this must be the 8 o'clock castration..." My poor 
trusting kitty!
