I ment in terms of how it feels. Should have phrased that differently. I could also compare it to swollowing a handful of tortilla chips without chewing.

lol i see..

I don't even wanna imagine the pain to be fair, heard it's one of the worst possible pains

Its the worst physical pain I've dealt with.

What actually sucked more was that for a while the pain was triggered when I attempted to use my legs or back and that frequently prevented me from doing routine things, like picking up my backpack. I do not enjoy feeling powerless, and I found that the anticipation of the pain is worse than the pain itself.

I can imagine that, I mean pain is treatable, but having your autonomy and ability to do the simplest of things taken away for something like that must suck..

At least they weren't permanent though, there's worse things that can happen to be fair, you've had your share of bad luck now (hopefully)

I've never broken any bones, oddly. The closest I think I ever came was making my knuckles bleed from punching trees when I was a kid.

One of my old roommates used to get them pretty frequently. He was a pretty tough guy, and he used to stand in the bathroom and cry like a baby. I can't even imagine it.

There are worse things, true.

Hopefully I'm out of bad luck. Not likely though, unfortunately I have the body of a 60 year old. Kidney stones are something I have to constantly watch for (I've had them 3 times at 22, the first time I was 16) my feet are completely flat and cause daily pain (to the point where I'm limping at the end of the day) I've had bone spurs in the right foot (which has shattered, twice, neither time the result of heavy activity or an accident) the tendons in my knees are slack, so knee pain starts after less than an hour of standing, my back gets to hurting after another couple hours (despite orthotics.) Thats just physical. I've had a pretty messed up and exceedingly lonely life.

I seem to have more than my fair share of bad luck. I'm simply to stubborn to let it win.

@plastic He could stand? He must have been really tough because I'm pretty tough and I collapsed when it got bad.

Well I don't know actually. I guess probably not. I wasn't in there with him. I could just hear him through the wall. Sometimes he'd be in there for hours just trying to get em out.

I've heard if you get them at all it generally means you're going to prone to keep getting them. He said he'd had a bunch of them in the past. I feel for you guys. Of all the places in your body to experience intense pain.

I'd take a split knee over that crap any day of the week

Thats my understanding.

I'm decent at preventing them now, though mine are calcium, when most are protein if I remember correctly. Speculation: It might be tougher to stop the protein kind forming, or to do anything about them once they have formed.

How do you prevent it? Does it have to do with what you eat?

I think his were actually calcium also. I'm not positive, but I feel like I remember him saying something about that. It's been a few years.

Sorry to hear about that Forum. I have some small health problems but they pale in comparison.

Man what a long day. Since 9:02am EST I been helping my father take apart the concrete in the front yard. Those last owners had no idea how pour to concrete and tile right. They poured the concrete at uneven levels some reaching 8 inches (203 millimeters) deep, twice! What is even more idiotic is that they pour it over the snake drain, no one does that! Of course we had a jackhammer to break it up easier. At the end of the day we now have 8 buckets of broken concrete, which is only a half of what's left.

Do you have any plans for the front yard, Soris?

My father wants to pour sand and use bricks over the plot like he and my mother did in my old home, and to place a fire pit with some plants. It'll look a lot better than before, because the old tile was ugly, and had no defense against mold.

Is this a new place?

It's a townhouse he lives in. Parents divorced two years ago and move he closer to UM where he works.

UM? I thought you lived on the Gulf Coast.

My mother is my primary parent and she lives on the Gulf Coast, I stay with my father every other weekends, which is also when I play long, and most holidays.

Ah, I see. Cool.

They make chocolate twizzlers now. So good. Twizzlers are pretty much the only candy I eat. Sorta my homework food, like if I'm ever writing a paper I'll probably get some. The chocolate ones are awesome.

Is it the original Twizzler covered in chocolate, or something different?

No, there's no berry flavor. They're dark brown twizzlers with chocolate in them, and Hershy's chocolate is 3rd in the ingredients, so that's clearly where the flavor is coming from.

I know it doesn't sound like something that'd be good, but I went out on a limb and gave it a shot. So good.

Twizzlers make mouths happy! Love those

It does sound interesting to say the least. I'm not a Twizzler man myself but I'll keep a lookout for them.

Wow man. I haven't heard that line in a long time.
