fun fact: People love making shit up. Digestion obviously isn’t painful

So how does it work? If it’s painful but it doesn’t hurt, then it’s, by definition, not painful. “It’s excruciating but you can’t actually even feel it” doesn’t really make sense to me. My bullshit-o-meter is not happy with that.

On a side note, menstrual cramps are supposed to feel, at most, like sore muscles after a workout (probably since they’re essentially getting a non-stop workout for a week). Sharp, especially debilitating, pain is a cause for concern and should be addressed, however doctors usually don’t care (plenty still think the cervix doesn’t feel pain), and medical research is notoriously behind, case in point the relatively recent study that looked into how endometriosis affects the male partners of the person having periods.

What does it even mean for something to be painful if you can’t feel it? “We could see in the dark if it wasn’t for the fact we need light to see”
