Outrageous and Traumatic Medical Stories as Told By the People Who Lived Them

Is This Pain Normal?

There are so many, but perhaps one of the most stunning cases was the man who thought searing pain while urinating every once in a while was normal.

He would have tremendous back pain for a day or so, which he thought was due to advancing age and the highly physical nature of his job.

Not incredibly unreasonable, but something he should have still checked out. Usually, a few days later, he would have searing pain while urinating, then be fine again.

Of course, it turned out to be chronic kidney stone formation. He said he never noticed the stones coming out because he never looked down while urinating.

Honestly, I still don’t understand. I have had kidney stones myself and it definitely feels like something solid is coming out. Baffling. 1skepticalguy
