Biggest pain you've ever felt? Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NEXT | |
ouch, that happened to a woman I knew. That same damn thing. She actually re-broke it and said it was the most impossibly excruciating thing she'd ever experienced. She ended up developing an alcohol problem because of the whole ordeal. OT: broken femur. I've got a genetic condition that causes me to be in pain constantly, so I have a very high pain tolerance, but damn did that ever stand out in my mind. I imagine that having my finger crushed in a bailer might have been equally as bad, but I don't remember the pain, having passed out immediately. Apparently I had very low blood sugar at the time because I hadn't eaten in like forever and the physical shock of the trauma caused my body to shut down briefly. Oddly enough, my finger looks normal now, so I guess I'm lucky in that regard. The only weird part is that there are no working pain receptors left in the nail bed, so I could rip off the fingernail and it wouldn't even hurt. | |
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, so that. It has the hilarious nickname of "Suicide Disease" and it is a barrel of laughs I can tell you :/ | |
Smashed my coccyx against one of these fancy office chairs, effectively scarring me for life. It didn't feel very nice at the time either, nor did the three following weeks of me being unable to sit down. Made a nice, deep scar that's incapable of healing itself, making me bleed all the time from my back as I lose feeling in my waist when I sit down on something too long/hard but that Isn't even the fun part. It also offset two kinds of scoliosis, making my spine too straight (which is clinically dangerous) and slightly bent to the left, crippling my ability to move every time I stay still for a couple of hours say like, trying to sleep do physical activities along with excruciating pain every time I try to breath thanks to the muscles in my back stiffening up for dear life which they've been doing for the past 10 years or so now. | |
I suppose the memory of pain fades with time. I have had my appendix burst, but since all the above happened over years they do not seem as bad. Right now I have 2 broken ribs. Its painful when I cough, hiccup, laugh or take a deep breath but there is not much I can do (you can't put a cast on or anything) and it is not as bad as it sounds. But since it is happening right now you could say its the worst pain ever. So in full the worst pain you have ever felt is the one you are feeling right now. | |
That sucks. | |
Hold your index finger. shape it to look like a hook. Now, with your other hand, push the tip of the finger back and slightly upward. | |
My most recent would have been standing on a screw that went a fair bit into my foot. When I was about 8 I had a red hot clothes iron pressed into my face, (stupid accident). My worst one though was when I was around 7. I was over at the house of a guy I used to be friends with and I was on his swings, which were stood in a bed of gravel. Not the fine gravel that's made up of loads of tiny pieces and is more like sand, but big jagged pieces about the size of the palm an adult man's hand, let's say around 6cm long. Anyway, we were swinging away and it was at this point that the other child's dad decided to wet us with the power hose with which he had been cleaning his car. I got a full force blast of it and was thrown onto the gravel, which promptly split my head open. Imagine someone using a butterknife to pick a hole in your head and then sticking a chainsaw into said hole and turning it on, that's what it felt like. The back of my head is still misshapen from that particular incident. | |
They put a pin in | |
when i was a child and my brother stomped on my head | |
A burst eardrum. A line blew near my head and the noise was so intense it burst. I laid on the ground for a good ten minutes holding my head. Balance gone, double vision. Never again. | |
Probably getting shot. That wasn't very fun... | |
This, like treading on a Lego* brick times infinity. *Fellow UK resident hence the spelling of Lego without the "s". | |
The pain felt when betrayed by someone you love. I win some kind of cheesyness award? ...Not alot of bad stuff happen to me actually, never been physically hurt except when... Well I've been kicked in the balls, that counts. | |
Burned the tip of my pointing finger on a very, very hot hotplate. If I stopped cooling it the pain started to wander up the arm until it became unbearable. Second: After my heart operation everytime I had to cough to get rid of slime. The sternum had to be sawed in half and the scar above it really hurt when I coughed. | |
I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if anyone has shared in my pain, but the worst pain I ever had was a Kidney stone. I think it was 1.2mm What was worse was that wasn't the reason I went to the hospital. I had severe gastroenteritis. It was literally coming out of both ends. Sometimes at the same time. It was insane. Thankfully though, the kidney stone pain didn't start to manifest until after I had visited the first round of people at the ER. All of a sudden my side started hurting. And it wouldn't stop. An MRI later and I have a kidney stone. I had been fearing these things all my life. So much so I stopped drinking sodas and crap and actively put more water in my diet. Oddly enough, drinking more milk could've helped. But my wife is allergic to milk, so we drink soy and almond. And I don't know where those people are saying that morphine works immediately. Took a damn half hour for me to feel it. Of course, the ER staggered the two doses by like 30 minutes. Had I got the full one it might've been different. Now Oxy on the other hand. That stuff was legit. And some advice if anyone has one. Citric Acid. Drink it by the gallon. It broke up my stone to the size of pepper flakes and didn't hurt at all. All that was left was recovering from the gastroenteritis. When my stomach swelled to where it looked like I swallowed a soccer ball. That really hurt too. | |
Migraines, without a doubt. I remember having a migraine that lasted a couple of days when I was very young; I somehow managed to get to sleep at one point but it suddenly spiked and woke me up. That might I ended up screaming in pain until I tore my throat and vomited, and then as a result of being sick I laid there semi-conscious, unable to fully lose conscious because the pain in my head kept bringing me back to my senses. Thankfully I've never had anything even close to that since, but my gods it was the first time in my life I was so helpless: it's just such an inescapable, unreachable pain. | |
Ingrown toenails were extremely painful too, as was having to cut it too (twice) | |
I had an allergic reaction to an intravenal drip earlier this year. My face swelled up, I couldn't breathe, I felt horribly hot and my head itched to much that I scratched my scalp until it bled. Definatly the worst pain/experience I've ever had. | |
OT: Second worst pain goes to when both my Achilles' tendons were cut for my operation. I thought I would never walk again. | |
A biopsy on my thigh with some really shitty excuse for an analgesic. Took a while, hurt like hell from start to end. I also had a migraine or something that sure as hell felt like it last year. The pain wasn't enormous, but it was bad and present for a week or so. And I don't mean that in a "it came on and off" way, I mean it quite literally hurt every moment of every one of those days. | |
Probably the worst I can remember is calf-cramp. I get it several times a week, usually around 4am if I'm sleeping by then. Woken up by agonising pain, and have to lie rigidly for minutes for it to subside. The worst pain I've ever seen is when assisting in lumbar punctures. It reduces the toughest men in the world to screaming and crying. For those who don't know, a lumbar puncture involves taking a sample of Cerebro Spinal Fluid by sticking a needle into your lower spine. It's a bigger needle than the one used for epidurals, and you are only under local anaesthetic (which again, has to be inserted via a needle in your spine). | |
Ingrown toenail, sharp edge right into the flesh. Oh, and no anesthesia. Hurt even worse after the operation, but then, 5 minutes later, no pain. None at all. Just one moment, intense burning sharp pain, then the next, nothing. All good. | |
I've never experienced a pain I couldn't manage, but I did get a 2nd degree burns one summer. Almost 48hours on the dot after getting my wicked sun burn my back began to itch. The skin itself was completely numb so scratching did nothing. The itching was like an unbearable torture, I couldn't sleep, and I was shacking from the need to scratch. I was told to use aloe lotion to help the burn and stop the itch but all that did was increase the itching and make my skin that was numb feel like I was burning. I didn't sleep for 3 days, sometime on the third day I passed out. I woke up almost on the 5th day the the itching was far less extreme and the skin was no longer numb, scratching still didn't help but at least the shaking stopped. After going through that I'm pretty sure I can last through being tortured for at least 3 days before spilling all my secrets. | |
Hmm, that sounds familiar. I had the same thing happen to me, only it was just half an hour before the pain hit. I was twisting and bending and pulling on my arms and shoulders, anything I could think of to take my mind off how much it hurt. Ultimately all I could do was wait it out, was quite miserable for days after that. Must be something in the ramen that caused our bodies to reject it. :I | |
Stepping on lego, migraines and those random cramps that REALLY hurt (really). Yeah I guess I've gotten lucky so far
That's odd cos I had to have lumbar punctures when I was 6 or 7 and I don't remember it being that bad. Unpleasant, and I'd be ill afterwards, but not excruciatingly painful. | |
Torn ACL. Then a year later I had an injury that tore the cartilage from that same knee. I also get cluster headaches, but those are more a long-term pain. For an intensity, though, the knee injuries. | |
I got a strep infection in my kidneys in fifth grade. It felt like someone bashing my lower back with a sledgehammer over and over again. Had to spend two or three days in the hospital to get it all cleared out. | |
Blew out my knee in 10th grade. Wrestling 5 & 1/2 minutes with a broken hand at the state meet for wrestling. (Yes, I lost, but I didn't get pinned) Also had an ingrown toenail on my big toe a few years ago that got super infected. Doctors had to numb it and stick q-tips covered in acid on the sides of my toe to kill off the infection. The nail never grew back quite right and it ended up infected again last spring. Rather than go to the doctor again, I got a small pair of pliers, a metal spike from my tool chest and a sock to bite down on while I did the "surgery" myself. I ended up pulling the entire nail so at least I don't have to worry about that getting infected anymore. The other would be a pec tear. This picture isn't me, but the bruising on my arm was quite worse. | |
Worst for me was a few years back when I had a badly impacted wisdom tooth. It was pinching on a nerve in my jaw, giving me near constant earaches for a month. But the worst part was the extraction. 2 and a half hours in the dentist's chair. It was so badly impacted it had to be drilled into three pieces to be removed. When I finally got out, my face was bruised from having my mouth forced open for that length of time, plus all the usual pain associated with dental surgery.. | |
Removal of my wisdom teeth, I wasn't put off to sleep, I had to experience the whole removal of those four useless teeth with little anesthesia and worse of all, I had them taken out before they had a chance to begin getting out on their own. | |
Circumcised. With stiches. Then I red a playboy. Yeah. | |
When I was 12 I got stabbed through the hand by a rather dull tipped knife. It was sharp on the edges but didn't have a point flat topped. Some kids were being dumb I can't remember all of it but I remember being pushed and when i tried to prop myself up my left hand hurt with more pain than I'd ever known before. I remember seeing the metal on both sides and blood pouring down my arm then I called one of them a jack ass and passed out from blood loss. I woke up when they were pulling the knife out of my hand and they said they had numbed it but I do not recall that at all. I got to watch them do all the stitches though and they gave me painkillers which i sold and made about 400 dollars off of them. I still can't feel the inside section (the little V shape) between my left hand Middle and Ring Finger, but the functionality is still pretty much 100%, not quite though its really weird to put them together. You can't feel them touch which is still baffling to me every now and then. | |
I'm constantly in pain. I had an accident two and a half years ago in which I did something to my knee. Doc's don't know what it is, Pain killers don't work and the general consensus is to shut up and get on with it! | |
Managed to sever the tendons in my left hand while drunk one night.Didn't really feel anything at the time but fuck me it hurt the next morning when I sobered up | |

I went out to eat ramen for the first time with friends.
Then, at 2 in the morning, I woke up with excruciating pain in my gut. Like, rolling around on the bathroom floor groaning in pain for two hours kind of pain. I almost tried to induce vomiting, that's how much it hurt. I almost wished that I would just fall unconscious or die just so that it would end. Most agonizing 2 hours of my life.
>_< It was so bad that I have never touched ramen again since then. Even though it's probably just the cooks who !@#$ed something up, I am so scared of a repeat event that I don't think I'll ever have ramen again.
...I'll just stick to the instant noodle variety instead. I know that kind won't try to kill me.
