Lol, it’s worth it because now you’ll always have the memory of inflicting what every guy dreads.

Years of psychiatric med withdrawls. Intense, unending agony.

My back, for sure. It has been worse than child birth. When you give birth, you know there is an end in site. With my back, it just goes on and on. It hurts to sit, stand, or walk, and riding in the car is torture. The surgery I had was absolutely horrifying for recovery. I would get up every hour at night and just pace because I wasn’t allowed to sit but I couldn’t sleep because lying down hurt so bad. The whole thing has been such a mess.

Acute back pain in unbearable. I have only suffered it for three days and was in tears. I wish there was an alternative treatment for it other than the heavy duty pain killers that are prescribed. I now understand why people need them though.
I take zero pain killers. I wish I had something, but I know they would turn me into a zombie. I have an appointment with a new spine doctor on the 5th of November, and I’m hoping he’ll be able to help me.

Good luck with it Happy. I hope you find an escape from the pain.
I hope you are managing to keep mentally well throughout this Laetitia. Try and stay strong.
It would have to be when I had colitis many years ago. And me being a smart Skunk I suffered through it while getting called names and being screamed at while working. I was in the hospital for three days getting anti -biotics and being doped up. Horrible pain the gut can produce. I’ve had IBS pain too and that’s no fun either.

I don’t even know what to choose. Unmedicated childbirth? Ruptured ovarian cysts? Getting all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once, one getting infected, and 2 getting dry socket, whole also learning that I’m allergic to the lidocaine that they used and was unable to move my jaw for over 2 months? Going off high doses of oxycontin and Klonopin cold turkey because I lost insurance and couldn’t afford my prescriptions anymore? Passing out while pregnant and dislocating my hip, pelvis, both shoulders, a knee, and several fingers? Gallbladder attack?

OMG, you must be made of extremely tough stuff to go through all of that.
I don’t know about tough. I’m just stubborn.

Honestly, thinking more about it, I think going off the oxycontin and Klonopin cold turkey was the worst. It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Addicts are tough. I went through it once and refused to ever take opiates again. To go through that over and over and still survive? That’s strength.

I have only ever witnessed opiate withdrawl once. That was when my mum had a brand of patch at a very high dosage. She didn’t realise that you just can’t take the patch off when you don’t want them anymore. She had vomiting, diarrhoea, hallucinations, aches and pains. She admitted herself to hospital for a couple of days not knowing what was wrong with her. Way too much for an eighty five year old to endure let alone anyone else - it nearly killed her. Doctors need to explain this to patients before prescribing.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I think we all deserve a medal for not only suffering pain through mental illness, but also having undergone extreme physical pain at the same time - some of us still enduring that physical pain to this day contributing even further to their mental health as well.
I hope this makes sense - if not I hope you can decipher what I am attempting to say

Yeah I’m only 38 years old. I think I inherited arthritis.
Any pain that you have endured, I wish to share with you. It is like insurance. You suffer, we share that suffering, to reduce it all for you.
Who cares about him? That’s just part of being a guy. The important thing was how was your foot?
- Giving birth
- Dropping a pane of glass on my toe
I had 3 drug free natural births in 4 years. The insertion of the copper IUD was more painful than birth. And I had an unknown copper allergy, so my body was in rejection for the 1 1,/2 years I had it in, my husband was able to literally tug and pull it out. I went to the doctor the Monday after (was New Year’s Eve 2008) and handed it to her. The removal was like less pressure than a tampon pulling out. She just said well, that’s a new one. Did confirm infertility later though, that’s a pain hard for a 23 year old mother of. 3 that we wanted more. (My sz and all mental issues go away while pregnant, but I get post partum psychosis after the births).
Also worst pain, an inmate from hubby’s prison took an obsession with us. (Hubby is a CO Sgt) and an inmate was released and I had just fallen under a physical RSD attack, so was bedridden. KALICK IS 15, WAS WALKING A redbox dvd back to kiosk, inmate cornered him with his pickup, yelling our last name. Kalick goes who the ■■■■ are you and you got ■■■■ to start, then acts like he’s carrying a weapon. He scared guy off, someone in parking lot called John, they went to file reports with Co Sheriff, City PD, Hwy patrol, plus DoC. Never found out if it was who Kalick picked from lineup, but I guess John was a target of this guy, he insisted John slighted him, etc.
Guy ended up reoffending so he got sent back parole revoked.
