It is not "absolutely" something that can lead to injury. Injury itself is difficult to define, and often the reason one experiences pain sensation is multifactorial. Within lifting contexts, generally the factor which has the strongest evidence for injury prediction is how sharply an athlete increases intensity compared to what they have previously adapted to.

No offense, but this post does come across as you only having a surface level understanding of the field. Especially surrounding injury/pain perception, I would be more careful of what you assume is true, there's far more nuance.
