Nay! (ok, enough with the horse puns)
We do, as usual, have only harry's perspective on this. The wink at 
Crabbe & Goyle could just as easily mean, "See how many benefits and 
how much sympathy I get from this injury!" or even "I am, of course, 
lying about whether I am still feeling pain from it". The former 
would be a viable subtext even if he's still in pain, although I 
don't think he is in much pain from it. The latter, of course, would 
be viable if he's feeling absolutely no pain from it, the way I felt 
from about 4 days after my broken leg got casted, although he still 
can't use it because of the sling, the same way I couldn't really use 
my leg because of the cast.
Obviously, if Pansy is asking him about it, then he's not hanging 
around the Slytherin common room slingless, tossing darts in the 
evenings. If he was faking it, then why wouldn't the other slytherins 
band behind him and be happy about getting one over on the other 
houses, and not report him for only wearing his bandages in public?
