Pole pain comparison
After having a conversation with LucilleHighball about the difference between tattoo pain and pole pain, I'm interested in taking an informal survey of how pole pain stacks up against other pains. Basically, name some pole positions and tell how much they hurt the first time, and then list some other painful things you've experienced and how much they hurt on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest amount of pain and 10 the highest. With tattoos, and piercings it would be helpful if you could say where on the body it was
Here's mine for a sample:
stitches in eyebrow = 2
3" tattoo above hip bone on belly = 3
knee hold = 3
sprained thumb = 3
leg switches around pole = 4
stitches in thumb = 4
teddy = 4
very first hip holds = 4
superman = 5
foot hang on lyra = 5
yogini/rocketman = 5
rocketman drop = 5
horrible pole accident in yogini at Burning Man (two words: glitter paint) = 6
foot hang on lyra = 6
nipple piercing = 7
16" tattoos that wrap around the backs of my legs = 7
ladybits piercing = 7.5

Interessting thought!
For me:
– leg hangs/ hip holds: 3
– thigh holds: 2
– armpit holds: 5
– migraine:10
– period cramps: 7
– Mirena insertion: 8
– slicing my finger: 8
Honestly, pole pain is teensy compared to what I've had to endure, but I got the short end of the stick pain-wise, lol!

For me:
Leg switches: 0
Teddy/Armpit holds: 1

If it hurt to donate blood they did something wrong, go somewhere else it should not hurt just quick pinch for needle…
-
It's more my body doesn't like to give blood. I've had this problem twice. Basically, soon as the needle goes in, my vein moves. When they finally locate my vein again and stick into it, there are tiny valves that close up to keep blood from flowing out. So I had two nurses have to push on my vein to get the blood to flow. And this doesn't last long, so they start moving the needle around slightly. I don't give blood anymore.

All this thread has done is make me seriously doubt whether I can handle getting an IUD!

IUD insertion hurts like a mofo but it's 10 minutes of pain for 5-10 years of baby-free, period-free awesomeness. I don't regret it one bit. I'm a huge proponent of IUDs because of the efficacy and affordability. There hasn't been a ton of research done on modalities for treatment of pain during IUD insertion. However, it has been shown that physicians far underestimate patient's experience of pain during the procedure. Most women rate it as a 7-10 and most physicians think it's around a 4. I will ask for pain medication and I will ask for a cevical block with lidocaine for my next insertion. People get Vicodin for sore throats at urgent cares yet most physicians offer nothing other than Motrin for IUD insertions. Irritates the shit out of me. Getting off my soapbox now…..
