Childbirth is nothing compared to

[rival.]

i had a kidney stone once. felt like someone took a bat and beat the living shit out of me with it.

not fun.

my mom had to go through that a couple years back.....long story but she got a bad infection after a surgical procedure and had a hole in her chest a little bigger than a silver dollar and about 3 inches deep.....this woman had five kids and said she had never experienced pain like when they changed the packing of the open wound....and yes, the morphine was useless....

Strangely enough, when I was hit on the head, square between the eyes, by a 70lb rock rolling down the verge of a bankside - don't ask! - I got off very lightly, painwise, apart from the expected concussion, a few bad headaches, a fucked short term memory and a need for a lot of sleep at first.

That pain is brutal.

When I had a c-section, one of my stitches popped open and left a big hole. I had to have it cleaned and re-packed every day for the next 4 weeks.

It was funny...when I went to the doctor once I had realized that the stitch had popped....she was about to dress the wound and she said "I'm going to numb this, and then give you another prescription for vicodin." And I thought, "why do I need more vicodin?", and then she started to clean it and I understood. God that sucked!!!

We don't need to ask..obviously you were playing a part in Braveheart.

Raaarrrrghhh.

Raaarrrrghhh.

And Pirates of the Carribean???? Wow.
Awesome.
:p
You do remind me of the actor that was in Gangs of NY..the one that we thought was a bastard in the begining, but then he winds up fighting for the priest. Oh and of course my cat Hugo. He is MIA.

having gone through childbirth(more than once) AND having gall stones, i can assure you gall stones are a far worse pain to have to deal with. the pain is constant whereas labour pain ebbs and flows. but morphine is a beautiful thing.

I've heard this before, through the grape-vine, from a female nurse.

It's my evidence that men can feel pain that is paramount to child birth.

Then there is phantom limb pain, of course, it's hard to describe that unless you have it. Supposedly it can't be helped because the limb doesn't exist, it's a feeling that the limb is constantly cramped. I suppose morphine or vicodin are prescribed.

my mom has a high threshold for pain and well lets just say it wasn't pleasant to watch as they changed that dressing....

Drugs that act on opium receptors are the worst.

Morphine is by far the most prevalent and important alkaloid in opium, consisting of 10%-16% of the total, and is responsible for most of its harmful effects such as lung edema, respiratory difficulties, coma, or cardiac or respiratory collapse, with a normal lethal dose of 120 to 250 milligrams[92]—the amount found in approximately two grams of opium.[93] Morphine binds to and activates μ-opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord, stomach and intestine. Regular use leads to physical tolerance and possibly dependence.

Very good point but I'm starting to think that gull stones can be just as painful.

I've never had gull stones the same as (I'm presuming) Ahnimus has never been through child birth.
