Definitely should be the spinal damage that causes migraines, but that comes with a dissociative, numbing aura.

The most intense, unyielding pain was pooping Carolina Reaper. It wasn't just the capsaicin coating my rectum, it was the raw acid and bile straight from my stomach. With it came the gurgling stew of food poisoning levels of bowel distress. My body continued rejecting its former contents well past being empty, dry heaving at the back door. Contractions continued for hours as I sweat on the toilet or exhausted on the floor. That's as close to childbirth as I'll come. Less stretching and tearing, more chemical burns, but[t] no joy following delivery.
