Imagine living with several diseases known as the most painful diseases in the world and they are measured as being equal to or higher than the pain experienced during childbirth. Can't imagine it? The McGill Pain Index recognizes it and built the index on patient responses. I made this chart many years ago to go with several articles on #ChronicPain. ❗While overwhelmingly, I get positive reactions to this share, at times some people feel left out, so let me remind readers I created this chart many years ago based on MY diagnoses. Additionally, the McGill Pain Index was developed in the 70s and thus doesn't include some of the things we know now. In 2025, many of these diseases are still listed on top 20 lists for most painful diseases and conditions and six items on this chart are listed in my medical records. In fact, I'm on day 34 of a migraine that won't let up while my #fibromyalgia and #ME are raging this month. It's simply not possible to list all the most painful diseases and conditions on one chart. 👉However, I can assure you that your pain condition and disease is also listed in the Index!
