Does anything...and I mean anything at all hurt more than child birth?

[~breeze~]

My gall stone/bladder attacks were worse. I had to have my gall bladder removed due to it being FULL of stones.... after 3 years of agony with Dr's trying to convince me it was heartburn before having an ultrasound done & finding out the truth!

I have also been suffering similar attacks recently... almost exactly the same actually but not sure what it is due to my gall bladder already having been removed LOL

I agree that childbirth is a different kind of pain... one that many woman around the world keep coming back for!! (so it cant be all that bad hey!)

Good luck & please dont get yourself all worked up thinking about the "pain" of childbirth.... its a beautiful experience, try to relax as much as possible & enjoy bringing your new baby into the world, we are very privalidged (sp?) to be able to do so!

The one thing about labour is, that although it hurts like mighty hell for some and not too badly for others, there are a lot of pain relief methods out there.

I broke my arm when I was pregnant, and I wouldn't say it hurt more than labour, it was just sudden and intense, and I couldn't take any drugs for it. So I'd say some things are bad. But no matter how bad things can hurt, there is always some form of pain relief (except in some circumstances, it cannot be given).

Danielle, I had this after mine was removed - I needed a stent put into my bile duct to keep it open so the stones my body continues to produce don't rub on the walls causing pain. It is a relatively non-invasive procedure and can be done as a day case. Your GP can refer you to a gastroenterologist who can fix this for you.

THANK YOU!!!! Hopefully I won't have to worry about getting another attack soon!
