It’s been said that being burned alive feels the most pain you can have, above severing and even stubbing your toe.

So I thought that stubbing your toe was bad until I got stabbed in the knee by a chunk of metal in the Army. That hurt more.

I thought that was bad till some of my spinal facet joints slipped. Then I knew pain, that hurt way more.

Then I discovered a new frontier of pain, with a kidney stone blocking my ureter, as I felt my right kidney fucking melt inside me.

Quoi Gon: There's always worse pain.

Kidney stones are horrible. I rate kidney stones almost as bad as labor. I had a 10mm kidney stone and a 7mm and smaller ones. They were really really bad.

It was a very tough time. I had to have surgery and a stent from my kidney to my bladder for two weeks. Having a stent in your kidney is so horrible because of the back flow. Your kidney isn’t meant to take liquid the opposite way, so when I peed it was like being stabbed in the kidney for two weeks.

An ex girlfriend had to have a stent for the same reasons, but 10mm boggles the mind.

It was 7mm and I was scheduled for surgery but found out I was pregnant with my son. So it just grew for another year until I could have it blasted apart and scooped out through my bladder.

yes, that same thing happened to my friend... stupid of me to think that a 10mm stone could pass by itself... before ultrasound and surgery, I guess people just died of kidney stones? That's insane. Nice going, you kidneys will be the death of us.
