However, to topic.. 
The worst pain I have ever experienced is undoubtedly when my skin became a sore, weeping, and infected, mess. I have suffered from eczema all of my life, and around 18 years ago a number of trigger factors collided and I subsequently ended up in hospital under heavy doses of antiobiotics and cortisone (a steroid medication used for conditions with severe inflammation).
For myself, I do not view childbirth as painful, even though it was (I did it drug free) because it was 'positive pain'.. if that makes sense? |
To speak for my mother: Her arthritis, shes in constant pain in her hands in feet (she too will go for cortisone shots, if she desperately needs something), the medications she takes to dull the pains make her lethargic, she naps more than she used to, waking up to pain. While she is very strong with deal with it, and attempting to try to hide it from us, I know it must be one of the most painful things she has ever experienced.
@DW, wait for that 'positive pain' to grow up a little, those teen age years. You'll change your mind soon enough
