Kidney stones, meningitis and actually being fried by red hot steel suck unbelievable ASS for pain, I know this, been there, screamed a bit
but yeah pain with this gets ridiculous because our normal physical and mental stamina is exhausted, that ghastly
"energy/insides feeling like they are being sucked out by a vampire with a Dyson vacuum cleaner shoved up their arse* does really suck...and suck...and suck
the duration, lack of much effect form pain killers, all the other hassles just build up into severe ugliness.
In other words
oh yeah I get ya and complete sympathies!
add in neuropathy and sciatica and it's horrendous.
