It is well observed that most doctors refuse to say the word pain. Well, I have wonderful proof of this now. I went in yesterday, Wednesday the 16Th, to get an ingrown toenail removed. I was informed when I was getting my toe anesthetized that I would feel a prick and a bit of a burning sensation. That was partially truthful. I felt a small prick of the needle, and a little bit of discomfort when needle was moved around. All of the sudden, there was an incredibly painful...pain in my toe. I gasped and nearly died. Then, it receded, and I got another shot which had a similar pain. For the value of others, I felt that I should rate certain phrases and their respective pain level.
1. You will feel a prick: This is a low level pain. You may feel a needle the size of a medieval javelin pierce your skin. You hear this all the time when you have vacinations and anesthesia.
2. You may feel a buzzing: Two words: Severe Irritation. You will eventually feel the need to rip your skin off your body.
3. You will feel a bit of pressure: Prepare for death. The pain will be absolutely excruciating. If you aren't restrained, bolt for the nearest window. If you can't, well, suicide may be a decent option.
