Do you mean pain on your upper back?
Yes, the pain will completely vanish. I used to do 405 completely pain free.
What you should do every now and then to get used to the positioning, is keep ramping up the weight on the bar but don't squat; just unrack it and hold for 20sec sets. Go up to your 1RM and try to unrack that for 20sec. You will get very used to the weight.
You can do this every time you're in the gym. It doesn't have to be only on squat days. In fact, it doesn't even have to be on workout days. Even days where you're just playing basketball, try it out.
