According to women who’ve had at least one kid, these seven things can actually be more painful than CHILDBIRTH. See if you agree, ladies . . .
- Kidney stones. One woman said it’s like being stabbed in the side with a hot knife over and over again.
- A really bad toothache. Meaning the pain is constant.
- Broken ribs. Not because the pain itself is worse. But they take a long time to heal, and it hurts every time you breathe.
- A really bad migraine. Which can last hours, and cause some people to pass out from the pain.
- Gout. Which causes burning and swelling in your joints. A recent survey found more than two-thirds of people with it said it’s the worst pain they’ve ever experienced.
- Trigeminal neuralgia. Which is when a nerve in the side of your head gets inflamed and causes a stabbing pain. Apparently it’s rare, but there’s no cure. And it’s so painful, it makes some people consider suicide.
- Third-degree burns. But not just the burn itself. Getting skin grafts, new bandages, and washing the burned skin can actually be MORE painful.
