Worst Physical Pain You've Ever Felt

[Punisher Rising]

Be it an injury, wound or surgery, what's the worst physical pain you've ever had to feel? Some unpleasant memories I have of pain:


-When I was really small (maybe about 4-6 years old, somewhere around there), I accidently got my thumb stuck between a door groove and it closed. You can imagine the rest. It took a long time for my thumbnail to grow back after that.

-I was tripped in a schoolyard around 8 or 9 years old and my upper tooth cut into my lower lip, spilling out a lot of blood. My lip felt uncomfortable for days.

-When I was around 10 or so and visiting in Las Vegas at the Tropicana hotel, I ran by mistake into a glass door in our hotel room that I didn't know was closed (I wasn't looking) and huge shards of glass fell all over me. I got cuts on my thumb and knee, and still have the scars.

-I touched a hot plate from an oven by mistake after some leftover pizza was reheated and had a welt on my finger for a while. The burning pain was a b*tch to endure.

-When I was about 13 or 14, I dived into a shallow end of a pool and sprained my ankle, and it hurt terribly. Thankfully my house was right near, so the walk wasn't too bad, but the slightest movement in my ankle was torture to endure.

-Stepped on a pin when I was a child (maybe about eight or nine years old), went all the way into the bottom of my foot and I had to painfully retract it out. I remember it bled a fair bit, too.

-When I was about 7 or 8 years old. I was helping out at a friend of my mom's at their shop and I recall the shop was about to close down for the night, and I was helping to organize the place to close down, I picked up a black object from behind the counter, thinking it was a marker or something, but it was actually pepper spray. You can guess what happened from there; I pressed the button and it sprayed all over my face and hands. My face, eyes and hands burned for days after that.


There's probably some more, but these come to mind for now.

Between my nuts getting kicked at a pretty high rate of force...

Or the time I had a needle touch my bone.

That's the best I can remember.

6 months before my kidney transplant, they had to remove something growing on my lung. When I woke up from the surgery, I couldn't breath, and when I tried, I felt an incredible pain in my right lung. The combination of the pain from the lung, and not being able to breath was absolutely excruciating. The kidney transplant wasn't much fun either.

Anyone here donated bone marrow, or had a spinal tap? I luckily have not, but I hear those two procedures are about as painful as it gets.

Funnily enough, I'd probably rather go through this experience again than some of the emotional pain I've gone through. Pain from surgery will stop eventually, but something like unrequited love can hurt forever.

One time I was dehydrated and it was causing some kind of intense, throbbing headaches. I thought that my head was going to explode. It was so bad that I was actually shouting out in agony.

I came pretty close to joining the bone marrow registry. I'm still considering it, to be honest.
As for emotional pain being worse that physical pain. I think you're right on the money.
Sometimes with physical pain you can block it. Sometimes you can isolate where it is, and just ignore it. (Or maybe I'm just weird that way.)

I can relate to that feeling, man. When I was younger I used to get these insane, just absolutely crazy sinus headaches, they would be so bad they would actually cause my face, fingers, and feet to twitch with every throb. I would end up getting these almost every single day. It turned out I had a nasal polyp in one of my sinuses, which was just screwing everything up. So they removed it from my head. I started getting allergy shots, and now I have that whole aspect under control.

As for me. The worst physical pain I've ever felt was when my gallbladder decided it wanted to stop being inside me, and exploded inside of me.
This pain felt like a knife being shoved into my side, and twisted. It brought me to my knees. It made me sweat. It was the single most intense feeling I've ever had. It was quite a rush.

 

[Speedball]

I had my wisdom teeth taken out with just novacaine. It took them so long for one of them, that by the time they got to the fourth I could feel it.
I also sprained both my ankles last year.

 

[Zephyr Alexian]

Hmm, there's a few.

When I was 7, I slid into a protruding corner of a wall in our kitchen area, barefoot mind you, and stripped the toe nail completely off of my pinky toe. That was pretty bad. Instant pain. Incessant stinging. When it was growing back, that was probably worse than the immediate tear.

When I was playing basketball one time, I was fighting for a rebound when the ball landed awkwardly on my left middle finger. It permanently bent the bone in the finger. Now, there's a noticeable 'V' between my 3rd and 4th fingers on my left hand. (Getting kneed in the nuts by some who's penetrating with the ball isn't fun either.)

Once while playing football, I was running with the ball when a friends head inadvertently slammed into my nose. No structural damage was done, but it hurt like hell.

Fully tearing my inner meniscus and part of a ligament in my right leg probably ranks as the worst pain I've ever felt to date. I couldn't walk for several weeks and sleeping difficult as well due to the injury. I couldn't sleep on my stomach; my back was too uncomfortable, and sleeping on my sides made the pain flare up immensely in the morning.

I've been fortunate regarding ankle sprains; I've only had several, but one of them was really bad. Any movement at all was difficult. I couldn't rotate my ankle, push off of it, or put much weight on it after the initial incident. Even when I was sitting, I still felt an abnormal amount of pain from the usual kinds of sprains.

Having wisdom teeth removed with no anaesthetic.

Funnily enough, I'd probably rather go through this experience again than some of the emotional pain I've gone through. Pain from surgery will stop eventually, but something like unrequited love can hurt forever.

Hm.

I guess I'm fortunate.

But, 4 root canals and 10 cavities in the span of 4 dental visits in 1 month.

That's right kids. Brush your teeth. Otherwise, it'll cost you $11,000

 

[Logan's Lady]

Oh gosh, no moms have joined this thread yet?

The worst pain EVER.... is childbirth
Honestly... I've had surgeries and wisdom teeth taken out yadda yadda, but childbirth is the worst pain.

And, it's pain that continues after the baby is born.
Doesn't matter if you've had a C-section or vaginal delivery, there is pain aftewards for at least a week.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Not fun when your awake.

 

[Majic Walrus]

When I was 3 I dropped a hammer on my head. I don't actually recall that pain but from what my parents tell me it was a pretty *****ing wound.

Looks like Mr. Gambit learned that lesson a tad too late. lol


I've been rather fortunate in my life, no surgeries, no broken bones...but at age 8 I did slam the side of my head into an iron railing. Ouch

No kidding. I used to hate brushing them. I don't know why, I just did.

Now, I love it! Mostly because my mouth now rivals the price of nice used cars. And that toothpaste with that citrus Scope is damn good. I feel like just swallowing a tad bit every time I brush.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I just remembered getting my finger slammed in a car door. It was horrible.

 

[SuBe]

I broke a hip once, and got one of these:

I would recommend, if you ever have a choice to break your Hip. Don't do it.

 

[Logan's Lady]

Slightly less painful than chilbirth...

I layed down my bike once and the exhaust pipe burned my leg (got a nice scar from that one )

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Waking up from heart surgery-3 times now, also not fun, until the nurse washes me.

you nasty boy

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

you nasty boy

You gotta look at the positive side of things

Oh almost forgot about the peebag, oh my is it painful getting it removed. it's like someone yanking a rusty nail from your penis.

 

[Downhere]

Is in pain from reading this thread.


As for me, when I was a kid, someone slammed the car door while my finger was in the way, almost lost the finger and it was all just a bloody mess, squashed and icky.

 

[Downhere]

Edit, duplicate. Sorry.

That sucks hardcore doesn't it. When it happened to me as a kid I managed not to break any bones in my hand but I remember that my fingernail turned black.

Heck yeah, I was lucky they somehow saved my finger. It's a little crooked now but looks normal otherwise.

And for like a year after blood would seep through the nail.

Getting ran over by a sled with 4 people on it that cracks a vertibre. Worst. Snow day. Ever.
