I was going on the description of “intense pain”. I know from personal experience that you need to ease into the lotus but I never experienced anything that I would describe as “intense pain”, at most “mild to moderate discomfort” after five minutes. Anyway, gothgirl420666 was having a problem without any obvious solutions, as evidenced by his lack of proposed solutions by his peers, so I suggested to pay a visit to a professional with extensive domain knowledge.
I’ve seen yoga books which explain how to ease into sitting in full lotus.
