is this right at the center join of your clavicle? Mine too, googling it it seems super rare. Absolutley no pain with it (so far) but it can be either a soft 'clunk' that no-one will notice or a massive echoey 'POP' that sounds like someone breaking a dry stick. Had it for years.

yep! it doesnt both me, either. aside from this thread, i dont think I've encounter anyone in-person that had the same thing happen, so I'd believe that

c old man s: i had a kidney stone recently and those things are a fucker. i'm told they are almost as or more painful as giving birth.

i called an ambulance when it first hit because it hurt so much.

however i also noticed that it didn't hurt as much as my wrists/hands can get on a really bad rsi pain day, the only difference being my wrists/hands often eventually go numb

gently caress getting old and breaking your body touching computers, this poo poo sucks

i'm supposed to be getting a bunch of lab work done to see if i have arthritis but covid has gone off the charts again recently so i guess that's gonna wait until next year

Reminds me of when I had to walk a guy at work to the infirmary because he was bent double with pain, and everyone thought he had a burts appendix or something.

Turns out he just had the shits something awful. After an explosion he was fine.

i've had two kidney stones and beyond not know wtf was wrong with me at first with the initial one i can say i've definitely felt worse. pretty much laid up while waiting for them to pass but i wasn't like, wishing for death or anything. being bedside for both of my sons' births I'd say that's worse.

i had to wait weeks for the first one to go away (only a few days of bad renal cholic though--even went to class). the second one made its presence known and was then gone after like two hours lol.

a more or less conventional presentation of a kidney stone is pretty bad. appendicitis/burst appendix is worse by at least an order of magnitude. having gone through both these things

breaking both your ankles at once (and the recovery) is somewhere in the middle.

yeah when they were asking me how much it hurt in the hospital i was like 7/10, it was bad enough that the morphine barely cut the pain but i also had no problem walking around. it got worse for a few days at home but once it got into my bladder it was more annoying than painful.

when i was a kid i'd of course heard of kidney stones and was always horrified by the prospect of having one because i assumed they hosed up one's urethra when coming out. was relieved to find out that wasn't the case.

by the time i called the ambo and it arrived the pain had cut down a lot

the little bastard did backflips in my bladder for like 40 days. it was pretty annoying as you’re supposed to avoid coffee until it passes which i did

I turned 40 this year and I feel great. Now that cycling is hard to do I’m just doing some core muscle exercises every other day to keep my back in shape. Some planking, dead bugs, butterfly sit-ups, etc.

Gotta get on the stationary bike to keep my cardio up.
