Same here. 1st time, it felt like my internal organs were being
literally torn apart. If Death had shown up, I would have happily gone
with him to end the pain. And I had a back injury that led to a
temporary partial paralysis of my left leg. My back has given me a fair
bit of grief over the past 20 years, but there simply is no comparison
in terms of pain.
