It was pretty ridiculous and I still can't believe that it took me down so hard.

I was walking about a mile from my house in the city and I needed to take a dump. Then I needed to take a dump super bad. I was just hobbling down the sidewalk no restroom in site, walking half hunched over in pretty bad pain but not the worst pain I've ever experienced.

Pain suddenly went from a 7 to a 10. It's not that I lost a battle of wills to stay on my feet, I didn't even get to fight. My legs turned to jelly and I hit the pavement hard. It was a warm day but not terrible, might have a few beads of sweat on your brow from walking normally but I had sweat pretty much flowing off my body, it must have been pooling around me. I'm lying there on my side, not even thinking about getting up, looking at the street in front of me when all of a sudden my vision started to bend, ripple (kind of like what I'd imagin a terrible earth quake might look like) and then go black. I remember it being black and feeling like I had a lance going through my midsection and that a big guy was wrenching it back and forth.

I don't know if I passed out, might have, didn't shit myself and don't think I even could. Must have left a big man sized wet mark when I got up. Not one person stopped to see if I was alright, I was lying on busy street right near a mall. I'm sure people walked by me on the sidewalk and I didn't notice them.

Got to a mall bathroom and spent a good hour in there before things worked out, I was weak as a kitten.

What a fucked up gross worst pain ever.
