Today, I was in class and felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I began to scream and cry because the pain was horrible, so the teacher called 911. After being rushed to the hospital, I was told that "I had gas cramps and would be fine." My whole class was listening on speakerphone to make sure I was ok. FML

Today, I had the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my lower right abdomen. I was doubled over and vomiting it hurt so bad. After going to the E.R., thinking it was my appendix and getting checked in, I let out the biggest most rancid fart in my life and the pain immediately went away. FML

Today, I rushed my wife to the ER because she was having abdominal pains. She was crying in the car and very faintly said, "If I die, our daughter goes to my sister and they get everything in my will." We later found out she was just having a bad gas problem. FML

Emergency!

Today, I started getting really bad chest pains at work. I googled it and the internet convinced me I was having a heart attack. Scared for my life, I started to dial for an ambulance when I let out the biggest fart you could ever imagine. Turns out it was trapped gas. FML

Inside out?

Today, I’ve been having the worst gas, nausea, and stomach pain of my life and literally nothing I do works. While I was at work, I farted but it came from the inside out; it was so loud there’s no way everyone didn’t hear it. My stomach started bubbling so loud, the guy sitting behind me got up and walked away. FML

Today, my stomach started to hurt. When I got home, my parents had company over, which I had to rush past to use the bathroom. After being in the bathroom for about 3 minutes, my mother yells to me from the other room, in front of the guests, "Are you OK in there?" I'm 27. FML

Today, while in class, I desperately had to fart. Someone in the room had a coughing fit, so I took that as the chance to let it out. When I was about to release, the coughing stopped. I couldn't stop in time. FML

Man up

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Santa Barbara

Today, I woke up with horrible pain in my gut. It got worse and worse, and I started vomiting from the pain. My mom said it was the flu and that I needed to "man up." It turned out to be appendicitis, and I'm now typing this from my hospital bed. FML

Today, I had debilitating stomach cramps and told my mom, but she said she was too tired to take me to the ER. I had appendicitis. Thanks Mom. FML

Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML

Today, I drove a friend to the emergency room because he thought he had appendicitis. While sitting in the waiting room, I got puked on by a child. My friend's diagnosis? Gas. So he also farted all the way home. FML

I've had those pains before...they come on all of a sudden and HURT LIKE HELL, and I went to the hospital for them, but it turns out they were just cramps. You really never know, what if it was appendicitis or something? But really, those sharp cramps can hurt...anyone calling BS has obviously never had this happen to them. You literally can't stand up or move your stomach in any way or it will feel like you just got stabbed. I think things like acid reflux can make them even worse. So to the OP, FYL, I'm sorry this happened while your class was listening, and I feel your pain :(.

I've had some really bad gas cramps but screaming and crying? Suck it up. And who cares if the class was listening on speakerphone? They would have found out one way or another. At least they found out while you weren't there. But I guess even that was too much for you. You're a wuss all-around!

gas pain is QUITE painful; if you've never experienced gas pain before then it must have come as a shock. Cmon people... hes not gonna hold it in for classs..not knowing what the hell is happening to him..and NOT call for help. As a matter of fact, if it was something serious and he DIDNT call for help so that he could "suck it up" or "grow some balls" ..then what?

Well, if your pain threshold is normally pretty high or even moderate, I would go and get a second opinion, especially if the pain is recurring. *shrugs* Doctors have been known to be wrong before . . .

this totally happened to me too. it's really bad, and all it was was poop. le sigh. i even had a raise blood pressure reading and a low-grade fever just from the pain. cat scans and all types of tests revealed nothing but a lotta shit.

I have IBS and I've had gas pains so bad I can't walk, but screaming and crying in public? Not necessary.

#9 and #12 - im with you guys. the people on here have obviously never felt it. I was up all night one night trying to decide what was going on. I've had to have emergency surgery for a cyst that was blocking blood flow before and the pain is surprisingly similar. I didn't scream and cry but it will definitely double you over and make you wonder WTH is going on

I'm sorry about the cramps... I've had those too, and they can get seriously painful. I though I had a hernia once, but it was just gas. Seriously. Ouch. Hope you're feeling better.

That sounds very painful! I can't believe there are so many people calling you "overly dramatic". Stomach pains, in my opinion, are the very worst kind of pains.
