My friend gets them constantly and my mother had a large one they had to laser zap because it was too large to pass. Both have had kids and said it was the worst pain they've ever felt. My mom nearly passed out from the pain and she (aside from my dad who doesn't take pain meds even after major surgery) has the highest threshold for pain I can imagine a person having. I'm really sorry you are suffering.....glad the pain meds are providing some relief, and I deeply hope it passes quick, safety and with as little pain as possible.
