I get migraines, so I’m weirdly used to high levels of pain. I had one migraine so bad I vomited, fell asleep for about 6 hours, then woke up and kept vomiting uncontrollably. Ended up in the ER because I was puking straight bile. But as far as pain goes, not the worst.
When I was pregnant, they had to induce me. They try to keep you off an epidural as long as possible, but I was having contractions every 5 minutes while 0% dilated. Hurt like a bitch, and they wouldn’t let me lay in any comfortable position because the heart rate monitor wouldn’t register. But that wasn’t the worst.
I had a kidney stone impact in the lower part of my ureter. They had gone in to remove it but couldn’t because it was impacted and infected. So they placed a stent. The doctor said I must have been in a lot of pain before surgery. Didn’t feel a THING. The next day I felt fine. Went to work (desk job). Came home and laid on the couch. Over the course of an hour I started shivering uncontrollably and spiked a massive fever. I developed sepsis. I was in the hospital for 5 days. Still wasn’t the worst.
No, the worst was my third kidney stone which was apparently caught on scar tissue in my ureter. I was in so much pain I couldn’t think. I couldn’t answer questions. I couldn’t do anything.
