Not the Best Medicine

I disagree that laughter is the best medicine. I got a hernia from laughing and was in constant pain, and every time I'd laugh thereafter, the pain returned intensively again. I've since had corrective surgery, but laughing is not the same. I'm afraid that I'll rupture my corrective surgery if I start laughing again, and be back in that world of chronic pain, that will only intensify when I again start laughing.
