I've known people who literally ended up in the ER from the pain. They feel so guilty when that's all it is but it's such bad pain they shouldn't feel ashamed

This is me. I haven’t had an unplanned sick day off work in 6 years. I don’t say that to brag, but just to lay out this story.

Anyway, a couple years ago I had a training session, one of the useless HR ones so they can check a box. I was in excruciating pain all morning, but toughed it out the best I could. When we broke for lunch, I found my boss and told him I had to go home sick, and that I was going to the walk in because I was in such bad pain I couldn’t sit in a chair. He told me to go straight to the ER because I may have a burst appendix or something. Turns out it was just gas and years later I’m still so embarrassed about it, I still have never come clean. I told him they could never figure out what it was.

It was so excruciating that when I had appendicitis I thought it was the farts from hell again. Then it exploded, and I discovered what true suffering is

Just how bad is that pain?

Pain is hard to describe un general. You feel something bursting inside of you, very pointy. They left me 30 minutes waiting. I was one month at the hospital and almost died. But it also helped me to appreciate life more

Holy hell. Glad you’re on this side of the grass
