I know what you mean....The worst pain I've ever had besides the Bone Marrow Aspiration when the dr. accidentally hit a nerve with the needle, was when my spleen was removed. That's what makes me so mad about drug abusers who take Oxycontin and other pain killers intended for people with real pain. I took morphine after my surgery and I hated it. I hated the way it made me feel and had horrible vivid nightmares that seemed real.
