Dude,. I've had a thoracotomy where they have to crack or saw open ribs to get to lung. My doc said it was the most painful surgery and I took it amazingly well.

More recently I had a prostate reducing procedure that uses water vapor(steam). I winced and cried like a little girl (not really), but it hurt way worse than lung surgery.

Don't be a man down.

This is what it is. MAN UP!
