Michael McIntyre - Pain

[Chubber]

I watched a recent broadcast of MM in which he explored the trauma and debilitating pain associated with kidney stones. I sympathised having 'been there' and suffered the 'camera up the willy' et al.

He touched on remarks made by women who would say 'It's nothing to compare with childbirth....you men have it easy... ' etc.

A thought went through what passes for my mind along the lines that despite this 'worst pain in the world' I once heard a friend say that she would like another baby.

I have never ever heard of a man saying 'Ooh! I think I'd like another kidney stone.....'

My mother in law was an only child, apparently the birth was so bad her mum decided she couldn’t face having another one.

Some women need an epidural in childbirth.
Some manage without.
I needed morphine and oxy for kidney stones.
Not everyone does.

Let's have sympathy for each other...

Don't know about kidney stones but gall stones had me writhing on the floor three or four times before they were removed. Worse than child birth I'm told. Well at least with CB you a) have something to look forward to and b) it only happens because you want you want it to (in the majority of cases). Once you have gall stones the pain can happen at any time until the little b*gg**s are removed and that's only once the inflammation has gone down.

It's simple really. Women have very short memories when it comes to childbirth probably wiped out in the first few hours of bonding with that baby. Men are wired differently. In other words if blokes had to give birth the human race would very soon be extinct.
I think I have a high pain threshold but just the thought makes me go into a cold sweat.

I remember sitting at 3am, afraid to go to bed because I knew the pain from the ulcerated feet would beat the overdose of morphine hands down (I also have an extremely high pain threshold, according to a GP). Hello Darkness My Old Friend came on the radio and I burst in tears. It would be nice to be able to forget that.
