Any special care tips for a declawed cat? Sensitive toes normal?

Our newest addition to the family has had his front toes removed
(yeah, declawed, but we all know what that means).

He seems to be really sensitive about them and I am not sure if there
is any real problem or if I am over thinking things a bit.

The only time it seems to bother him is if I am touching the tips
where his claws would normally be retracted or extend from.

Yes, I know -- stop touching them then. I did it once on accident, a
second time to verify the suspected behavior/result, and a third time
to confirm. Each time he placed his mouth on me fully (not a nip, he
opened wide), but left nothing more than a bit of saliva.

The veterinary technician said it is normal for there to be
sensitivity and I realize scar tissue can be sensitive forever, but
still. Any concerns I should be aware of?
