IMO the worst feeling is when your finger goes through the toilet paper and you end up going up your own poopy ass. 😖

      probably depends on the size of the kidney stone. i had a rather small one, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as having an appendicitis getting so bad it burst. sharp pain from knees to jaw, trembling in very high fever. had to wait for almost 20 hours for the surgery in that condition. and the meds did absolutely nothing at that point

        That just reenforce my decision to keep my unopened box of the good pain medication…

        Got it on prescription after getting a wisdom tooth removed, but never needed them…

      For me the pain was similar at the peak, but gallstone pain would fade in and out, while kidney stone pain was unrelenting.

        Of course! You leap out of bed and stagger around the room whilst shouting, “Oh, god! Oh, christ! Arrgh!” The cramp eases off in as little as 5 minutes’ time.

          Stretch against the cramped muscle, push hard, cramp dissolves instantly. Weight lifter taught me that 30 years ago, figured everyone knew!
