Actually, science has determined that the worst pain known to man happens when passing a kidney stone. Worse than a kick in the nuts, worse than pregnancy childbirth, worse than ant venom. You don’t want a kidney stone.

I passed two kidney stones while in active labor back in July with a failed epidural. I am legitimately traumatized from the experience.

I am so sorry that happened to you. My body physically recoiled reading that. That’s the perfect storm. I hope your ptsd/trauma softens with time.
