The first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists, next your nose… The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right. […] Your ears you keep, and I’ll tell you why: so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish; every babe that weeps at your approach; every woman who cries out, ‘Dear God! What is that thing?’ will echo in your perfect ears. That is what ‘to the pain’ means; it means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever.
Abdominal muscle cramp. I’ve gotten one of those after stretching on my chair and it was absolutely horrible, incredible pain for at least 30 seconds. I could barely breathe.
9mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter (tube between kidney and bladder) causing the kidney to backfill and pressurize. Kidneys were not made to pressurize. I didn’t know what was happening but thought I was legitimately dying. Only time I’ve ever been on a 10 out 10 on pain scale. Oddly enough the same thing happened to my mother in law and she said was way worse than child birth
Had a knee replacement in May 24, exactly 6 months later I broke my femur on the same leg around 3 inches above the knee. I slipped over and proceeded to scream down the street. I had only just moved in, needless to say I know my neighbours really well now.
I operation to fix rods and screws onto my fake knee took 6 hours with every drug known to man. Non weight bearing for 6 weeks, even now 4 months later I’m still in pain.
On a side note I have found out my sister is a absolutel gem in a emergency
Definitely diverticulitis. I spent 9 days in the hospital on Dilaudid and I hope I never have to go back. The worst part is the doctors can’t agree on what causes it so I don’t know how to avoid it.
I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. my nerve “attacks” have caused Bell’s Palsy and a TIA. A friend I grew up with, has had two of her children die, I’d rather have the nerve attack than go through what she has. I couldn’t hate anyone enough to wish either of these on a person
Losing a sister. Fuck everything else I have ever felt or been through. Seeing her dead on the morgue table felt like my heart tearing and both of my arms breaking. I was in physical pain as well as mental pain with no actual cure other than the passage of time. On top of that, everyone flocks to the parents to help them grieve. It’s like the siblings don’t even matter to them.
It still hurts, but nothing will ever hurt as much as that phone call.
dysmenorrhea, my first attack was on a random Saturday. i woke up feeling nauseous but i thought it was js normal morning sickness bcs i stayed up late, i went to lay down on our other room that didnt had an ac and started SHIVERING 😭 my cramps were blunt, sharp, AND all over the place: thighs, abdomen, my lower back. worst of all it hit me with the worst nausea that i puked 3 times, dry heave every 4 seconds, had stomach problems, i was legitimately crying silently trying not to dry heave bcs my throat was hurting so bad, i felt tired but everytime i drifted to sleep i would puke and get hit with extreme nausea once more 💔💔💔
Severe gout flareup. Unbelievable pain. Feels like the affected joint is literally on fire. I had one last summer in my knee that lasted 10 days. My knee looked like a cantaloup. Luckily, I was able to get my knee drained and it improved immediately. No more Twisted Teas for me! I only drink Happy Dad teas now and I haven’t had a flareup since.
Honestly, the last couple of years has bleached a bit of the humanity out of me.
I wish my worst pain on all my enemies.. An abscessed tooth. I’ve lived with pain before.. burst appendix, broken bones. Not this pain.
This was lay on the couch screaming into a pillow for 5 minutes kind of pain. A pain that consumes you. There’s no thinking, just pain. When the pain does relent, it’s only to a dull scream, merely pulling back it’s fist to hammer you over and over.
With zero nerve block my dentist cut through one of my gold and titanium crowns to do a root canal and it felt good.
When I was diagnosed in hospital with
Ulcerative colitis ! I was bleeding internally. And of course none of the doctors who saw me knew what was wrong. I won’t be going back to that hospital anytime soon !
Diverticulitis! For me, it really WAS way worse than having a baby!
Also – my first hubby was hit with kidney stones several times when we were together. Of course he had no idea what was going on the first time…but DANG!

Pancreatitis. If you have it the hospital immediately pumps you full of the strongest drugs possible for a week or two. I’ve had it twice.

The loss of a child.
Infertility/difficulty conceiving when all you’ve wanted is to be a parent.
Total knee replacement surgery. Thought about death for a split second
Severely infected pilonidal cyst. Searing hot pain. Injecting novocaine into it before draining was the worst thing I’ve personally experienced.
I’m sure there are worse things, but I’ve heard it likened to the pain of childbirth. Wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone.
Hand foot mouth was quite brutal when I caught it from my kid
Severe constipation
IUD falling out and getting misplaced in my vagina.

The death of one’s child
Hmm I broke my ribs getting hit by a delivery van while riding my bike, took months to even be able to cough or sneeze without almost blacking out.
10 years later if I laugh too hard my entire torso cramps up and i have to hug a post or huddle down into a fetal ball to get it to stop.
Mofo literally stole some of my joy.
Edit: oh and I settled for 4k. Big mistake.
The last five minutes of unmedicated natural childbirth are brutal, but so worth it. So I guess kidney stones? They suck.
Losing your mom in your 20s
Having your life wrecked by a second of carelessness or a tiny little mistake you’re responsible for.
Whoever made it even possible to happen to anyone shouldn’t be allowed to build worlds again.
