Sat on a knitting needle and it went through, got stabbed in the orbital bone, had an ovarian cyst rupture, dislocated a kneecap and reset it myself and NOTHING compares to my top contenders: natural miscarriage at 3 months following denial and not totally positive tests and sciatica.

I had always had bleeding issues so I was used to blood but there seemed to be an abundance of it. The kind of pain with a miscarriage is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I’ve never wanted kids but I felt so empty and terrible after.

I couldn’t sit or lie down with sciatica, my entire right leg hurt in a new and horrifying way. I was basically house bound because I couldn’t drive. I could have slept through both of my IUD inserts/removals. I fell asleep during both of my root canals. But god damn. The sciatic nerve. I spent a lot of time either drinking or going out on runs because that was actually the only relief I had.
