Childbirth is nothing compared to

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.

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 explains a lot...;)

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. :mad

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. :eek: God that sucked!!!

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

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.

dental pain!

I can't take it anymore!

might I suggest that in the future you avoid trying to squirt out a baby through your mouth?

Ever been kicked in the balls?

The same argument works in reverse, how can a woman know that no man has felt pain paramount to child birth?

Ahnimus

For the dental pain, try Benzocaine or Zidocaine. You can buy benzocaine in your drug store under the brand name Oragel. It's just a liquid you rub on your gums to numb the pain.

no. but then ive never tried to equate the pain a kick in the balls produces with the pain of childbirth.

I'd love to have a portable canister of nitrous oxide. I could take a time-out any time I want without the difficulties of trying to sleep.

My worst pain (and it was worse than childbirth) was with recurrent corneal erosion. Its like the top layer of your cornea isn't growing right, and for some reason, it erodes, leaving exposed nerve endings in your eye, and it hurts to blink or open your eye because the eyelid scrapes against the eroded cornea. During my worst episode (and it happens over and over again, hence the name 'recurrent') I had mentally come to terms with losing an eye and it would have been a relief. I truly thought it was over. I didn't open the eye for 17 hours - my husband had to take me and lead me into the eye doctor. Fortunately they had a numbing drops and fortunately its under control now. It was the worst pain ever.
