"I once twisted a back muscle and could not recall a painless moment in my life. I cried."

"I came here to say this too. Avid bodybuilder. I squat heavy all the time.Bend down to pick up the dog’s poo though? Nope, instantly crippled. It was so painful all I could say was “ah” and stayed deadly still for about 10 minutes."

"My IUD had entered the lining of my uterus and my gyno told me to go to the ER. ER doctor (male) ripped it out of me with no warning or consent. A chunk of my uterine wall came out with it. First and only time I have passed out from pain and I have passed several kidney stones."

"Chemical burn on my cornea.

Have you ever seen those contact lens cases with the platinum disk on the bottom? The idea is it neutralizes the peroxide into a mild solution overnight.I was staying at a friend’s house the night before a high school cross country event across the state. He knocked over my case, where it lay on its side for the majority of the evening. He woke up before me and set the container back upright without mentioning it.

I put in my lenses and went on about my day. My vision got a little blurry throughout the day, but no pain. And that’s not out of the ordinary. Usually, a few eye drops clears it up. Fast forward later that night. Im trying to remove the lens, and they are now stuck to my eyes. I struggled to get them off.The next morning, I can not see ANYTHING. Im talking blurry shadows at best. And the pain.. lord, it was excruciating. I’ve never felt anything like this to date.

After being heavily sedated and a series of steroids, my vision returned. Safe to say, I wear glasses now."

"Childbirth"

"Yup. My epidural didn’t work and I had 3rd degree tears and bilateral anterior tears, one going through my clitoris.30/10, worst pain in my life. 5 people held me down because my legs kept pushing upwards trying to escape it but my babies head was halfway out!"

"Migraine headache"

"Stepped on an extremely rusted nail, almost went completely through my foot. Pulling it out was excruciating."

"When I was like 14 I got a really bad sunburn on my back and shoulders. Like 2nd degree. Back had blisters all over it. Anyway, a few days later, at a party, I got in a scuffle. Ended up on my back on a cement driveway. Cops got called on the party. I most definitely should have got an underage drinking charge, but as soon as the cops saw my back they called an ambulance.

ER doc said I needed to go to a burn unit. Alas, parents had zero imsurance. After a conversation I was not a part of, doc comes back in and gives me a shot in the ass. Comes back 15 minutes later puts on a rubber glove and starts peeling the skin off my back. 0/7 do not recommend."

"Fell nuts first from five feet up onto a climbing buckle hanging from a rope. Walked it off. You know when a man doesn’t make a sound and just walks, he’s feeling it"

"Death of a loved one …"

"I got hit by a car. It was so painful I almost don’t remember how much it hurt."

"It’s kinda embarrassing but I have Chronic constipation and most of the time I don’t really feel pain but there are rare days (like once in 7 months) where the pain is excruciating.

It was not like a sharp pain that you get when you stub your toe; it was a dull never-leaving constant pain in your stomach making you not be able to sleep. And you also feel uncomfortable, you feel like throwing up (which I did like 3 times that day), walking hurts, and mentally it also takes a TOLL on you.

I basically didn’t feel like myself but just a puddle pf pain that couldn’t move and was just hopeless."
