The Shocking Truth Behind 77 Medical Conditions Men Rarely Face—And Why They’re Almost Always Overlooked
But it’s my fault, I should just have to suffer and be starving all the time bc I’m fat and that’s my fault.
Thankfully I found a less s****y doctor but that other woman should not practice medicine. She does not understand the basic concepts of the disease she runs a specialty clinic for.
This isn’t even going into how society treats you as an overweight woman. The dysmorphia, the guilt.
A pneumoencephalograph. They drain the cerebrospinal fluid from your skull and replace it with compressed air for an X-ray. It was one of the most painful medical procedures there was. My sister had one. They were discontinued in the 70’s.
People laugh about getting older and having a stiff back but acute back issues are fully debilitating and hurt with every movement. I’d legitimately rather be st**bed than herniate another disc.
Ear infections. I’ve had a c-section but the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life was a really bad ear infection I got as a kid.
Fibromyalgia, especially when combined with *any* spinal issues, arthritis, and chronic fatigue. It *can be* incredibly painful and the severity of it isn’t well recognised or taken seriously by the medical community.
Most days, I struggle to get out of bed, my thinking is impaired (foggy), and there are days when I cannot even lift my leg high enough to get it over the d**n tub to get into it to take a shower. I think one of the worst things about this condition is that it can be so *individualised*. There isn’t a cookie-cutter solution to it, and there sure isn’t enough research done on it.
I wouldn’t wish this on *anyone*.
Costochondritis will make you feel like your ribcage is going to snap in two if you breathe too deeply. Especially fun if the affected area is close to your heart!
Something rarely mentioned in these threads —
and it isn’t by any means the most painful or anything but until you’ve had to endure it you won’t know how bad it can be — is planter fasciitis. I got it one summer because I was dumb and wore nothing but my flip flops and it f*****g hurt to walk or stand for months until the exercises and stretches finally helped.
Colposcopy. Basically taking a punch sample from the cervix for biopsy without any pain relief.
Total knee replacement. I am a hypersensitive person (which really sucks). I could not get up from my recliner or the toilet without my partner putting a therapy belt around me and hauling me up. I would have to walk the length of the house to get back to my recliner from the bathroom and every step was t*****e. I’d be sobbing and saying, “I can’t do this. I can’t do this.” I thought sometimes I’d pass out from the pain. And that was with taking every pain pill (opioids) right on schedule. No one warned me it would be that bad—and I resented that. For the second TKR at least I knew, though knowing didn’t make the pain any less.
Not sure if it really counts as a “medical condition,” but it’s actually insane how painful trapped gas can be. It seems like an enormous design flaw in the human body that some air in the wrong spot can be so excruciating.

Gas pain. I have an egg intolerance and before I knew that, I was in SO much pain I would be doubled over on the couch thinking that I was going to end up on that show “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant”. Thankfully, I ought to just be on a show called “I Didn’t Know I Couldn’t Eat Eggs”.
Ever have your retinas laser welded back onto the rear of your eyeballs? I have and yikes!!
Bartholin gland cyst drainage. I’ve had a baby since then and the cyst was exponentially worse.
Waking up after a Tibial nail was put in my broken leg was really bad. I could feel that the inside of my bone had been reamed out, and the morphine did nothing.
I don’t know if it’s so much physical pain, but I’ll say restless leg syndrome. As a nurse I never learnt anything about it at university. I figured it was just people having to wiggle their legs a bit while drifting off to sleep. But over the years I’ve met people with severe, treatment resistant RLS and it seems like t*****e. People running on a treadmill all night until sunrise. People that just lie on their back cycling their legs round and round vigorously for hours and hours. People that haven’t been able to stop pacing back and forth all night. Then they have to go about their day and try to function like everyone else even though their literally ran a marathon overnight.
I had one patient who, by the time she came to us, hadn’t slept for almost 60 hrs.
