Yep.
And while > 4000% is hyperbolic, a whole lot of normies just refuse to entertain the notion that you’re being serious, not hysterical, that this kind of thing is actually fairly well studied.
Its like guys just telling gals ‘its just a period, how bad can it be?’ or gals telling guys ‘its just a flu, how bad can it be?’
Yeah, hard to quantify precisely, along some universal scale… but that is because there is no universal scale, different people experience different levels of measurable agony differently.

I disagree (it necessarily being hyperbolic), by now it's been proven we can have "real" physical pain (and thereby also damage). Maybe the number sounds exaggerated but _we don't know_.
