Plaguing Me For Months

"I had tears pouring out of my eyes it was so painful."

"But eventually, out popped this teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, white plug. It was instant relief but I was like:"

" '…that's it? That's all that's been plaguing me for months!?' "

"Ridiculous."

Paper

"Paper cut"

- MrBirb_

"I've only gotten a paper cut once in my life, and that was when I was into origami."

"Guess what? Got a f*cking paper cut."

"That sh*t hurts so goddamn much!"

"I shall never ever toy with the paper gods again. That demonic spawn of the wood pulp shall never again penetrate my fortified appendages!"

Smell The Pain

"Unexpected hit to the nose. Doesn't even have to be that hard. Makes you tear up even as a sting fills the front of your face."

- Wild_Preference_9749

"Fun fact: that weird smell you experience after a hit to the nose? That's pain. You can literally smell the pain."

"When you get hit, the rapid firing of the nerves in the nose also affects the smell receptors in your nostril; you notice a smell that you couldn't detect before you were hit."

"It's similar to how repeated head trauma can reduce a person's ability to smell."

"As someone who backs for a cheerleading squad, I can confirm that I get the pain smell for about an average of 3 days a month"

"Seriously the worst! Especially when you sense it coming and your just sitting there like 'oh boy here we go!' "

- Gronagen

"Next time it happens, just force your heel down hard and quick (not like "I'm gonna strain a muscle quick" but forceful), and it kinda 'resets' the muscle."

"It hurts like hell briefly which is why I recommend doing it quickly, like pulling off a bandaid."

"Do not under any circumstances point the toe down, pointing the toe down makes it worse!"

- Atiggerx33

"An ex taught me about standing up when the cramp hits and it was a life changer."

"I used to roll around in bed in agony just rubbing and squeezing my calf in agony and it always felt like an eternity."

"Standing up seemed to go against every instinct one would have in that moment, but it just goes away almost instantly."

- fokkoooff

The Hangover

Being Backed Up

"I had my first bout of baaaddddd constipation last month. I never realized it could be that painful."

"Sure, I've had a hard time on the toilet, but the feeling of touching your stomach and everything is hard and swollen and blocked … next level."

"I wanted to kiss the feet of the laxative manufacturer that eventually gave me some relief."

"By the way, it turned out my liver was swollen and was compressing my intestines. Worth the trip to the doctor. Lifestyle changes ahoy."

- NoCauliflower1474

"Yeah, my first extreme constipation experience was on chemo. Never knew it could hurt like that."

"The anti nausea meds caused it, but being on chemo and everything I was unsure what is going on. I had extreme pain and was in tears at the doctors, who scolded me for not taking something for it."

"But I was scared as I read in my pamphlet that I should not take over the counter laxatives or even pain killers. It was a bad and humiliating experience."

Shins Are A Design Flaw

"Hitting your shin. Why were we built with zero shin protection??"

"I agree. Stupid design fault. Shins need more meat."

- Bodom3875

Pregnancy Sucks

"Pregnancy."

"I don't know if it's normal, but everything that f*cker did hurt."

"He kicked my bladder, he kept a foot in my lungs and one in my stomach so I couldn't breathe or eat. Dragged his feet down my ribs every chance he got."

"Tried to stretch far enough to break out. Squished my intestines to the point I would go two or three WEEKS without being able to take a sh*t."

"And no doctor would take any symptoms of anything, even if it wasn't pregnancy related, seriously. Yes, even if they existed before because I guess everything is normal for pregnancy."

"I get the birth part sucks but the pregnancy is supposed to be at least mildly pleasant right?"

Excuse us... we're going to go invest in bubble wrap and neosporin now.

And some pain killers.

... and laxatives. And that little grippy thingie to lift ingrown nails.
