For me, this is the injection of anesthesia at my latest consultation at the dentist, it was so painful that i screamed to him. Anesthesia is rarely a time of pleasure, but damn, it has never been so painful.

    I’ve had two kids, both ending in emergency c-sections after many hours of painful labour.

    A few months after my second was born I got kidney stones. And that pain completely erased any conception of pain I had up to that point. Paralyzing, terrifying, unrelenting. It fucking sucks.

      Oh good. So I wasn’t overly dramatic as I broke down to the floor, crawled to the toilet and threw up from the pain when I had one? That had to be the worst physical pain of my life. Hope I never feel this again.

        No. Literally everyone I talked to in the hospital when I was in for my few all said the same thing, it’ll take even the biggest, baddest, meanest guy out there to his knees in tears. Until someone has experienced one themselves, it’s impossible to describe, but I understand EXACTLY what you went through. I have no shame in admitting I cried. I’m pretty good with pain, I’m the weirdo who literally enjoys the feeling of being tattooed.
