    Kidney stones. I started feeling them on my 25th birthday. I thought I had a cramp at first it turned out that one of these suckers got stuck in my ureter that was 13mm. It was so giant that no thing could get passed it. The pain was beyond unbearable. When it got stuck I instantly fell to ground in pain and I wasn't able to move any parts of my body. I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.

      I've known two people with those. One of them said it was like trying to pass a bowling ball through a straw.

        I've heard it said by people that have gone through all three, the level of pain goes:

        1. Kidney stones

        2. Gallstones

        3. Childbirth

          I had a kidney stone in high school and I was talking with the school nurses one day, one who had experienced both said childbirth definitely takes the cake.

            Childbirth has lovely mechanisms to release so many drugs into your brain afterwards though so you forget the pain happened and think its a good idea to have another baby xD

        This is probably the most accurate description.

      I have had two, both not so giant. Still the worst pain I have ever been in though, the first one had me on the floor screaming and I thought my kidneys were failing.

        Was this a kidney stone or a baby? A kid stone?
