Yes he did suffer because he was crucified. The point of the blog was to talk about why he needed to suffer, why he allowed himself to suffer. Having metal nails driven through your hands would be extremely painful, as well as being suffocated, whipped etc. That's the whole purpose. Sin is painfully offensive to God and deserves a painful punishment called death. Jesus had to suffer and experience the punishment (in arguably the worst form possible) to fully absorb the punishment on himself.
