You'll appreciate this one Pete. I once had a wisdom tooth pulled, which was no big deal. But a couple of weeks later a bone started to push up through the gums and into the space created by the extracted tooth. That pain was dreadful. But it went away on its own. I had one miserable week.

And you know that test the urologist had you do? I've had it too, and it isn't fun. They slide a tube through the penis to take pictures of your prostate. And I was awake for the whole thing, because they need you to perform a few functions. Bottom line is the pain is bearable but it is really uncomfortable and really kind of scary. I've also had numerous catheters put in and they are not fun either, although they are not as painful as you might think. I've been healthy for the last couple of years but take quite a bit of medication. Prostate issues are not fun.
