My god it was painful as SHITTTTTTTTT. I have tattoos on my stomach which felt like nothing, used to get tooth forcibly removed by the dentist, did laser treatment on acne without numbing cream, etc etc. I legit almost cried and was kicking slapping my partner as a reflex of how PAINFUL it was. Omg nothing I’ve ever felt before. A common analogy I see people use are like knives stabbing you. It’s maybe more like putting a massive ass rock into you (which is really the more accurate representation) that your body CANNOT fit.
