It's been said that passing a kidney stone is the worse pain a man will ever go through that's similar to a woman giving birth. I had a 5mm one. Didn't know I had it and drove myself to the ER, I do not remember the drive. Worse pain ever. Good luck!!!
I had some arrogant snotty female practically spit venom at me saying I deserved it because women give birth and I should be great up and man up.
The two women that were listening in flew to my defense in a huge way berating the other women into not just submission but into a retreat of leaving the doctors office in tears.
Both women said they would rather give birth again (one said to a Rhino) without drugs rather than ever go through kidney stones ever again with laughter of ease of birth over kidney stones.
