We normally ignore these 21 problems and think of them as something minor until we suffer from them ourselves.
Migraines
“I’m not talking about bad headaches. I’m talking about the absolute hell that is an actual blurred-vision, face-numbing, uncontrolled vomiting-inducing, skull-splitting classic migraine. Have you ever contemplated death over pain? A particularly nasty migraine will make you do that.”
Cluster Headaches
“I get cluster headaches. There was this one medication, sumatriptan, that worked a third of the time, and you may have heard about treating them with mushrooms, but that’s also a dice roll. Sometimes it’s [an] immediate release and a preventative. Sometimes it just pushes a worse one two weeks down the line.”
Broken Ribs
“Typically, no outward signs to anyone that you’re injured, but trust me, it’s really painful and takes a long time to heal.”
“Broke my ribs training to become a pro wrestler, can confirm I would have rather broken my arm or leg. When breathing is extremely painful, it is the worst.”
Torn Cartilage
“I tore the cartilage between my ribs. Would not recommend it. [It] was not fun. Couldn’t breathe right, and if I sneezed or laughed, I would just be in so much pain. But it only hurt for a few days, thank God.”
Toothache
“There’s toothache and then there’s [a] full-blown abscess. The kind where the side of your face is swollen. It’s not a toothache anymore. Now it’s a migraine and earache.”
“I’ve just recovered from a dry socket after an extraction. Plus, an infection. It’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt, my broken leg was easier to handle.”
Kidney/Gall Stones
“I’ve got to wait until June to get my gallbladder removed and I live in fear of my next attack.”
“I’ve had kidney stones and gallstones. Both are miserable. I’ve vomited from the pain of kidney stones.”
Paper Cuts
“Paper cuts hurt so much more than anyone without a paper cut even knows.”
“Ugh, that split second when you realize you’ve gotten a paper cut… so much regret!”
Period Pain
“I’m 26, and I just had a hysterectomy. The surgeon cut me open in 4 different places, stuck a camera inside of me, inflated my abdomen, and removed my uterus. She had to cauterize me (searing my tissue) before gluing the incisions shut.”
Gallbladder Attack
“I’ve undergone so many spinal surgeries my family literally lost count. I know pain. I know pain very well. I was in such agony from my gallbladder freaking out that I had it taken out as fast as I could possibly have that done. I wasn’t about to eff around and find out.”
Gout
“I had gout once. Even the air from a fan blowing on my toe hurt like mad.”
“I wouldn’t wish gout on my worst enemy. Drink your water, folks.”
IUD
“Yeah, and they don’t prepare you for that pain at all. ‘A little pinch’ while they’re literally piercing your cervix.”
“‘Take some Tylenol before’. I was expecting some minor pain, not shaking and labor-like pains.”
Impacted Stool
“Almost made me pass out on the toilet. Changed my diet after and ate more fiber and more beans (pretty much just traditional Mexican food.) Been having A+ poops for the past two years.”
Exposed Cuticle
“When I worked in a kitchen, I once cut my hand and had to get 5 stitches. That pain was nothing compared to the time I took off the tip of my fingernail with a vegetable peeler and had an exposed cuticle for a few weeks.”
Broken Elbow
“Breaking your elbow. Imagine banging your funny bone and having that feeling for 2-3 months.”
Emotional Pain
“The physical pain that really deep emotional pain causes. Like grief/loss/heartbreak mixed together, add to that the strain that stress puts on your body. The mind is very powerful for good or bad.”
Nerve Pain
“Mine has come and gone at different intervals and intensities throughout the last 10 years, and I can completely understand why people go through serious depression and thoughts of suicide when they feel so helpless because nothing helps reduce the pain.”
Broken Coccyx
“Broken tailbone. Also, no one sympathizes the way they do with a broken arm. I couldn’t take a poo for 2 months. It was brutal.”
Ear Infections
“Ear infections are no joke. I had an eardrum and canal infection in my right ear. Completely deaf for a week with a ruptured eardrum. I couldn’t so much as touch the right side of my head without being in complete agony. I could barely talk or eat because opening my jaw was excruciatingly painful.”
Endometriosis
“I end up bleeding for two weeks straight if I miss a dose of my birth control. Last time I was bedridden for at least three days and could still barely function the next few days when I had to drag myself out of bed because my grades would drop if I missed any more classes (I’m a college student). I was in so much pain, anemic, dehydrated, nauseous. I contemplate bad things every time this happens. But, you know, it’s just ‘cramps,’ right? Get over it.”
Hamstring Cramps
“Don’t knock an athlete for pulling their hammy; it can be instantly crippling.”
“A foot cramp or a calf cramp. Those just feel like pure, crippling pain.”
Herniated Disc
“I have a very high pain tolerance. Went on vacation with a shattered hand once. Migraines are annoying but manageable. But my L5/S1 lumbar herniation opened a dimension of pain I had never suspected was possible. A bump in the car could reduce me to full body weeping in a second.”
