Current Events > What is the worst physical pain you've ever felt?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Infection in my finger. Swelled up decently. It was sore and tender, but didn't hurt too much... until I had it lanced and drained at a clinic. That hurt a ton. Luckily, that, along with some antibiotics made it eventually get better. That finger looks a little funny at the cuticle because of the swelling though.

Top 5 worst pains from my life

1. Kidney Stone
2. Tearing the ligaments in my ankle
3. Tooth pain from needing an emergency root canal
4. Tooth pain from having an abscessed wisdom tooth
5. Ear infections when I was little (hard to rate compared to the others because I was about 3 or 4)

All of those are worse than any migraine I've had. The kidney stone was by far the worst though.

Tooth abscess
---

When I had a terrible flare up of endometriosis a few months back. It felt like someone was tearing my uterus apart. I was in fetal position on the floor crying when my husband found me and had to carry me.

Broken collar bone

Abscess before a root canal
He said it was one of the worst he's ever seen
I chipped my tooth as a kid so the inside was fucked up... resurfaced like 20 years later
---

When I pinched a nerve in my spine from deadlifts after fatiguing wayyyy too much.

4x4 405 deads that last rep screwed me.

Couldn't walk for like a week.

Probably when my kneecap was kicked over to the side of my leg (not when it actually happened, but every time I moved when trying to straighten my leg out afterward). It was close to an hour before I was able to successfully push it back into place. I refused going to the hospital because any movement hurt too much and I was afraid that I might make it worse. Once it was back in place, it was fine. Missed a day of work and was limping for a week but no other issues after that.

How did that happen?

My stepsister was horsing around trying to fake fight me and I made the mistake of locking my leg back to try and evade a kick. She hit just the kneecap and it went to the side of my leg. I wasn't expecting anything like that to be possible >_>

gallbladder issues after an extensive surgery.
i thought i was dying from a complication from the surgery.
---

probably my ankle injuries or when my nutsack literally felt like it was going to explode. holy shit that was rough

---

Either passing a kidney stone or cracking my sternum.

---

I got hit by a speeding truck and cracked my pelvis. Granted, I was knocked out so I don't remember the actual impact, but the pain in the weeks afterward was horrible, namely with the pelvis. I was generally banged up all over beyond that.

I think the worst of it was the rehab and walking for the first time after it happened.

But yeah, the overall pain over that whole incident was excruciating.

shattering all 3 bones in my right ankle and having it surgically repaired
---

Food poisoning led to vomiting. Vomiting led to burning my throat with acid. That led to me waking up with my chest so sore my heartbeats hurt.

Ever had your hand inside of a diesel engine and someone starts it up like an idiot?

Would things have been so different if your hand had been in there and they'd started it up like an intelligent person?

I once had a bad infection on my leg when NGE was out in adult swim. I had a big ball of pus and trying to even stand up made me almost faint.
---

The only thing I remember is me (as a kid) and a neighbor kid using a flat grocery cart as a ride and I ended up flying off of it and landed square on my back. Wasn't exactly super painful, but I literally could not breathe for like 5 minutes.
---

Either kidney infection or sinus headache. Kidney infection was bad but at least it only lasted a month. I've had persistent head pain from chronically infected sinuses for about 2 years now, I take tramadol daily so I can have some relief and even then the pain is still pretty shit. Waiting to have it operated on.

I had a bad tooth so bad that I couldn't sleep, couldn't focus, couldnt anything. When I did doze in the night I dreamed there was a bomb in my head that kept exploding. Same dream every time. Once I got it taken care of I felt like a new person. Delt with it for about a month.

Broke both my knees and right ankle jumping off a cliff and not landing in the water right away. Woke up seeing my right ankle sticking 2 inches out of my foot

---

kidney stones

Trying to walk with

1 Sprained ancle

1 Bruised Foot (Looked like raw meat in coloring...)

...that wasnt fun...

Thankfully Paracetamol worked on that... sadly its not working on my sprained arm/bicep/whatever the fuck it is...
---

Kidney stone or getting braces tightened were both pretty brutal. At least the kidney stone was a few days of torment. The Braces was a bunch of pain over the course of 2 years. After having them tightened each time eating solid food was a nightmare for at least a week.

Edit: I also wanted to say breaking my arm was pretty painful but the fact I completely forgot about it when writing this because of the kidney stone and braces speaks for how painful those were.
---

The catheter.
---

diverticulitis pain. Not the major abdominal surgery it require or the jaw surgery I had or being hit by a bus or nailing my hand to the floor, or having my skin on my chin ripped open so hard I could see bone and muscle tissue. Just that disease when it got bad.

---

Severe tooth ache
---

I had a tooth in the front bottom of my mouth where a filing apparently didn't take well, as after about ten years, i felt the worst pain in my life because of that tooth for four days straight. Got a root canal on the last day. The pain during recovery from that was nothing compared to how it felt before.

Getting kicked in the balls is always the worst, but in second place is a pilodinal cyst. Eventually I just took a knife to my own asscrack.

I had one of those also, had it surgically removed.

Yes, an intelligent person would have asked if it's clear first

Gallstone attack. Dear lord it was intense, like my insides were being ripped out. Second to that was prior to me getting a root canal. I've always had problems with my back teeth and my back left molar got infected to the point of a root canal. Had to take strong pain killers and sensodyne repair toothpaste over last Christmas to get through it.

Playing football with some friends of mine, hit like a round cement...thing that was in the overgrowth out of the little field we were playing in, in such a way, that I slid over the top of it and basically peeled/shredded off all the skin on the front of my leg.

Getting knee'd in the balls, felt like I was going to throw up.
---

Calf cramping up
---

My first period. Stopped believing in god, santa, tooth fairy, etc when I was like 8, but I prayed to jesus for a good couple of hours that day. So glad I pretty much don't get cramps anymore.
---

Dislocating my knee or peeing and seeing blood in your urine

For guys, anything related to our penis hurts a lot lol

---

The only thing that springs to mind is getting hit in the balls

---

Shoulder dislocation, the line was extremely long in the ER, i waited maybe 2 hours before they had to knock me out to put my shoulder back in, still hurted though

---

Either:

- Getting shot in the arm blocking my chest and face after a failed mugging during my Sophomore year.

- Getting stabbed in the front of upper leg. 5th grade.

- Radiator exploding from overheating, scalding my lower left back.


---

When I went down and off of a big water slide and had my legs out wide so my balls hit the water. I had to spend a good few minutes to get back on my feet and even then it was delicate for awhile. Worst part is my dad and brother acted like it was common sense not to do that when shit like that is the last thing Ive ever worried about when going down a water slide.

It's like a crescendo of pain. Jeez.

Probably a broken arm

Edit: Nvm the time I got a tooth removed when I was like 9. God I remember that shit hurting so bad and seeing the blood on the gauze they gave me. I cried like a bitch for a while.

Yeah, I've been through some shit.

All of those wounds healed completely though. I still freak people out with my stab/shot scars though. :D

For the scalding one, I remember having to sleep on my stomach for two weeks, and when my then ex-inlaws dropped by to visit us they brought this little Pomeranian doggy and jumped nails first on the burned part of my back removing three big random scab CHUNKS at once. They were all downstairs when it happened and apparantly she got loose from her collar lock.

<_< It was one short ass visit to say the least.

Recovery from my c-section.

Sprained my meniscus in my left knee in a mosh pit, then had to drive myself home.

With a manual transmission.

Yeah, probably around eleven at night.

Still a lot of stopping and starting, pretty much had to use my entire body to use the clutch.
