I had Osgood Schlatter's 'disease' when I was 13/14. It's an inflammation around the knee which is best treated with minimal stress ie, little walking. However, at the time, I was one of my schools prime sprinters and my sports teacher insisted I kept on running. One knee was already affected, but he insisted to keep my fitness up I still tried to jog during normal sports class. I literally felt a 'twang' and fell onto the floor dramatically because my leg stopped working for the day. It was ridiculous how swollen my knees were and because the one person who should have known I was meant to be on the sidelines insisted I kept going, I was out of school for 3 months.
Oh, also I have a daughter and was with the mother for the entirity of her 62 hour labour. Childbirth wins, hands down. At one point, she was begging for it to be over and said she had to give up because of the pain and she was exhausted. The doctors still refused to give her anything because it's NHS guidelines not to give any higher form of analgesic until the mother is dilated to a certain point. That was fucking ridiculous.
