- Full bowel blockage
- Ruptured appendix
With number 1, by the time I got to the hospital my shirt was wringing wet with sweat, vomit, tears, and blood. I took it off and told the ambulance driver to just chuck it in the bin lol

- I walked around with a ruptured appendix for weeks without knowing it. In my case, the pain was very minimal (not normal)
- there was so much raw sewage in my abdomen, they decided to gut me from my pelvis to my sternum, take everything out, and powerwash me
- there was a problem with the hospital pharmacy. I woke up in the ICU with zero pain meds and my nurse screaming murder at the pharmacy tech over the phone. “For the love of god he’s up, I need that morphine RIGHT FUCKING NOW”
- don’t know how long it took, but that was pure hell.
- then I got full bowel blockage, multiple times, throwing up and all, with my stomach cut in two trying to heal. Surprisingly the blockage was almost as painful as the unmedicated seppoku I experienced.
Take my upvote for bowel pain being horrific.
Another data point. I also literally broke my back from a fall on the ice. If bowel pain was a 10, I’d put breaking my back at about a 6.

I'm sorry for what you went through, but the mental image of being emptied and power washed is so goddamn funny.

It's that type of thing that reminds me, oh yeah, we're basically just machines made of cells

Omg. Bowel pain is the most excruciating type of pain I've felt, it's about as strong as breaking a bone. I'm sorry you been through that!

I've never had that, but I have IBS-C and can see exactly how the pain could get that bad. Please tell me they corrected whatever caused it.
