Worst Physical Pain You've Ever Felt

[Metamorpho1977]

I dreamed I got in a fight one time and I woke up with a black eye.

I spent the first 5 years of my life getting poke & prodded. I have a what is called a Shunt put in when the didn't think numbing agents were necessary, so one of my first memories is having a drill driven into my head at the age of 3 to relieve the pressure that was building up in my head, so I would say that would be the most painful moment in my life.

Although a broken heart is rapidly gaining ground.

Can't remember what the procedure was called but they had to jab a long ass needle to my liver to take a piece off for testing. Had no anaesthetics or anything. Was horrible pain I felt my scrotum shrivel to raisins and anus close to a pin hole

Tearing my calf 18 months ago - was not as painful as I would have thought.
Kidney stones hurt like hell.
But I fouled my neck up real bad playing high school football. Nothing beats that - except maybe looking at the previous page, seeing Wiseman's post and knowing he'll never be back......

I have a friend who never complains about anything...when shes sick, she never complains, BUT, she woke me up at 2:00 a.m. one morning with Kidney Stones, I had to carry her into the emergency room. So, even though I have never had them, I have to say they probably hurt more than most ailments or injuries.

 

[Punisher Rising]

Older thread I know, but I just remembered a particularly bad pain incident from 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.

Breaking my thumb at football practice and getting driven to the emergency room where they put it back in place with no anesthetics and then put a cast over it.

Riding my bike barefoot and my big toe getting stuck in the gears and me having to pedal all the way home with blood dripping and skin hanging from my toe.

Being the sickest that I have ever been last December where I Krakatoa vomited about 12 times in 12 hours until I could go to the doctor at 8am. Vomiting with nothing to vomit is terrible. I think it was food poisoning. Doctor said I may have an appendicitis and freaked me the **** out telling me I might have to go to surgery that day and to go get my blood tested right then. Oh and he gave me suppositories...wonderful day.

I had a severely sprained ankle back in 2008. One that would have been better off broken. I have never complained in my life about a sprained ankle, but this time, it hurt. When I wasn't rocked out on vicodin, all I could think of was the sharp, never ending pain of my ankle! I was visiting a friend in NY at the time. I was crashing at his house. I was yelling in pain all night, and he couldn't sleep. So, they dropped me off at the emergency room to get it looked at a 2nd time (turns out cast was too tight). Then, I had to drive all the way to Ohio with my ankle sprained. I tried going on vicodin. I almost fell asleep on the road in NJ. I had to go into a hotel room for the night, and while drowsy, I barely slept. The pain just wouldn't let me. Thankfully, I made the trip successfully the next day. I had to avoid vicodin to do it, though. 5 hours of no pain killers on that...was brutal.

I may have mentioned it in here before but I don't feel like checking.

When I was 20 I got in a car accident and was blinded by the airbag. It split my nose and scratched up my eyes. The eyelids would scab together and swell. If I moved my eyes behind them it ws rubbing the wound so that was excrusiating, like glass in your eye. Then every 4 hours I had to rip open the scabbed shut eyelids to put eyedrops into the wounded eyeballs. I had to do this every 4 hours for 2 weeks. All the while my face from forehead to chin to each cheek was "rug burnned" by the airbag.

It sucked.


I've also broken my leg (though I don't remember the pain, just the event... I was 3 or 4). I've sprained my ankle and walked a block on it to get back home. I've thrown out my back either 6 or 7 times in the past 5 years. I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle in my neck this weekend.

And I've unexpectedly hit my head on shelf corners... that's the worst.

 

[Spider-Who?]

There is umm, this muscle that women have and when you make them umm, do something I can't describe here it constricts and releases like they are having a seisure and they can tighten it whenever they want.........well one girl I dated used to constrict just a tad too much it hurt every single time. I started to get worried that I wouldn't be able to perform if I stayed with her because of how much abuse I was feeling in that area.......so umm yeah, ladies be careful. Too much is too much.

We call that a Snapper, ladies and gentlemen. I know exactly what you're talking about. Though, most of my experience has been pleasant with those who know how to do such things, thank god.

As far as the worst pain I've ever felt. Aside from emotional pain, the worst physical pain I've experienced occurred just last week. I had been fighting a severe flu for a while, but still had to work to meet a deadline. That stress, plus the lack of sleep from being sick and staying up late to meet said deadline caused me to get gastritis, which is pretty much where your stomach (the organ, not the torso) literally spasms, much like a charlie horse in your calf. I've broken bones, had surgeries, severe migraines, etc, and nothing has ever compared to the pain this caused.

As cliche as the following sentence is when writing about pain, I was literally writhing around on the ground screaming in agony. It felt like my ribs had ripped from the cartilage and broken into dozens of shards, all stabbing at my insides. The pain was literally blinding. I couldn't breathe, was sweating profusely and even passed out from the pain during one of the occurrences (this happened several times over the course of two days). I went to the hospital and morphine only dulled the pain slightly. The most painful and exhausting two days of my life. I NEVER want to feel that EVER again.

I accidentally stabbed myself through the hand with a nail. We were doing construction work on my kitchen and there was a rather large nail protruding from one of the floor boards. I knew it was there and I was only walking through the kitchen when I tripped over my own foot. My right hand landed directly on the nail. I could see an inch of the nail on the upside of my hand.

Needless to say, I cried.

 

[Schlosser85]

I had a tooth break from an untreated cavity, and I had an exposed nerve. I felt like swinging a pickaxe into the side of my own face or clawing my jawbone out of my skull just to rip the tooth out.

Had to get a root canal and a cap.

 

[the amazing fro]

I usually have a very high pain threshold . I rarely complain about pain and when I had my operation on my leg I refused morphine due to the fact it didn't hurt that much (to the shock of the doctor's). Though there have been a few times when I thought "Oh god that kills"

Once I was completely constipated for two weeks. By god did that hurt. I tried every laxative in the world and nothing happened. Strangely enough I managed to excrete on Christmas Day. A Christmas Miracle! Best Christmas Present ever I can tell you that.

After my operation, my knee and hamstrings essentially locked in place, I could not move them out of the bent position. I had to go to my surgeon who literally forced my knee down putting all his weight on it. I seriously thought he had broken my entire leg at that point. I nearly started crying.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

I have never really experienced a great amount of pain.

Was quite shy and sheltered as a kid. Never climbed trees, never got in accidents, never even rode a bike.

And to this day I have never broken a bone or had to go to hospital for anything (other than a camera up the behind and even that I was put out for).

It actually scares me that I have had no experience of it yet... I think everyone should break a bone early on in their life, it's just sort of part of learning.

I do get chronic pains once a month though, due to endometriosis. Pain that starts in abdomen, and gets worse and worse until it's all down my legs. It then causes vomiting and diorrhea as well

The only thing I can do while I wait for the worst to subside and the painkillers to kick in, is rock back and forth. I mean sometimes I literally feel like a crazy person, rolling around on the floor, making strange noises, trying all sorts of positions and movements desperately trying to decrease the pain.

It's mad what pain does to you isn't it?

But compared to what some of you guys have had to deal with, I'll take it.

 

[Ponyboy]

I've broken some toes and I split my chin on the underside once but I think my adrenaline helped with those injuries. But the worst I've ever felt was about 5 years ago... It was about a month after my Dad died, I had developed all this fluid in my legs and ankles. They were swollen and I couldn't walk. It hurt to get out of bed and put my feet on the ground! I had them drained finally and the doctor had no medical explanation for what caused it. He reckoned it was "stress" from losing my pop.

 

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

Kidney stones....on 5 different occasions.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

For a few weeks now, I've been experiencing stabbing pain in my right shoulder blade. Sometimes it's so bad it wraps around to the front of my chest. Taking motrin or tylenol doesn't help the pain. At first I thought it was because of gallbladder issues but I had a sonogram and it was fine.

That sounds like something I had about a month ago. I had a hacking bronchial cough. And after a while, the cough would leave my left shoulder in unbearable agony. Every time I coughed pain would shoot through it. Went to the doctor and he said there was some friction with my nerves. He drained some blood from my shoulder, gave me some electro stimulation and some painkillers and I felt better pretty soon after that.

 

[gohei_]

I broke my hand a few years ago and they had to fix it with three nails, then later when they were going to remove the nails I have never felt such a pain in my entire life before.

 

[Hotwire]

Meckel's diverticulum. It's a pocket on your intestine, usually only about an inch long. Mine grew to the size of a hot dog and ruptured.

 

[redhawk23]

Back in 2005 I wrecked my bike and my kick stand gouged through the front of my shin to the bone.

2 months ago I had and extremely ingrown left big toenail. My friend Steven not only stepped on it but actually stood on it.

 

[WildcatNC]

Ruptured discs in my lower back. I was stubborn and was waiting it out, not knowing what it was while still working out (I was 16) and doing martial arts, fighting ect.

I was at a tournament and had been up all night, couldn't sleep from the pain, couldn't lay down, just rock back and forth curled up in a chair. It had damaged my sciatic nerve in my left leg and I had shooting severe pain all the way down to my foot that pulsed constantly. I tried to compete the next day but ended up laying on the bench all day and then drove 3 hours home (which was painful as hell also).

Needless to say I ended up in the emergency room and learned my lesson.

I have something similar. A few years ago I was eating a bagel and all of a sudden my tooth crack where only have of it broke off. It didn't really bother me until a year later where I kept getting a sharp pain that extended to my entire mouth and head and I too wanted to just remove the tooth myself. I went to the dentist and he referred me to someone else who was going to remove the tooth. I didn't want to lose my tooth and luckily the pain eventually went away on its own. I don't feel pain there as much anymore, but I do avoid chewing on that side, especially something hard like candy.

Ruptured discs in my lower back.

same here...mine happened when i was 21. i had been lifting heavy stuff improperly the day prior, i was out of shape, and on top of that my dad passed his bad back onto me...


...i was playing with my niece, holding her upside down by her feet when she told me to put her down. when i bent over to let her down i felt this EXCRUCIATING pain in my lower back as if my lowest lumbar had dislocated from my hip and all i could do was drop face down to the floor. luckily, i was able to get my niece to where her hands were on the floor before this happened. i tried to get up but even standing up was unbearable, so i crawled to my bed and lied down for the rest of the day and most of the following day.

i'm sure there are pains that are worse but that's the worst one i've experienced in my 28 years of existence.

Yep. I was in great shape but was overdoing the exercise and using poor form, combined with a short job moving executive furniture, it was just to much. 500 sit ups a day and swaying your back while using a curl bar is bound to catch up to you.

 

[DorkyFresh]

ouch...damn, just thinking about it hurts! have you had surgery or anything?
