i was going to put kidney stone pain in but most people on GFY are young and unlikely to have had it - and usually it's a once in a lifetime thing, though some people get them recurringly.

they say kidney stone pain is the male equivalent of labor pains for women. i believe it - i found my Dad on the floor of his bedroom moaning like a dying animal, i thought he was dying of a heart attack or something - was a kidney stone attack. He only had them once.

backache seems to be the most chronic debilitating pain of them all - i've heard of a fair number of people who are literally bed ridden for months, years even. People with really bad migraines sometimes have to spend days in a dark room. But there are new meds for migraine sufferers, many people have relief.
