Biggest pain you've ever felt?

[Bizak]

Heh... well I was on fire once (ca 12 years ago) - proper flaming but not really full body. Seriously burnt ca 15% of skin on my body (if I remember my medical records correctly).

As far as pain... you get a couple of minutes of adrenaline filled "this doesn't hurts at all" after you are done extinguishing yourself. That is the time when you will still be thinking more or less clearly and not screaming - good idea to use it to to call on some one who will dial 911 (or what ever local equivalent is) and help you take off any tight fitting clothes, jewellery and watches you want to keep unclipped.

After that - when you more or less calm down you get to feel the burn (quite literally).

It's a tie between the month of migraines leading up to my surgery, or getting staples removed from my scalp without any painkillers.
Not sure...

I've had ingrown toe nails twice, both ended up with horrible disgusting infections, so i had some light surgery done with local euthanasia. Local euthanasia is a ***** to get. Imagine someone sticks a needle in your big toe, it stings a bit but it's not excruciating beyond human understanding. Then the needle expands about one inch on both sides and it feels like your big toes going to explode.

They had to KILL your toe? Alright, you win.

In 4th grade, (about 10 years old) I was leaning up against a large, dense fire door talking to some people, when someone slammed the door, ripping off the top of my left ring finger to the point where I could see my finger bone. Shit hurt. When it finally "healed" the finger was a good half-inch shorter than the right one, and the nail is twice as long and hooks over the top of the finger, so now it looks like some sort of claw weapon. The part of that finger that is supposed to be the fingertip is still very soft and vulnerable feeling 8 years later.

Broke my hip once, not sure about the medical terms but I snapped a bone in half and had to walk 200M to the car park before I could get help. The most painful part is that I was 15 when is happen so it made me feel like a 90 year old.

A number of cases of severe bone, joint, or musculoskeletal pain have been reported. Yeah, that's the worst bit right there: severe bone pain. Fuck me. Imagine every bone in your body feeling like it's on fire, and there is nothing you can do. It lasted maybe a day and a half. I couldn't sleep, sit down, stand up, didn't know what to do. I pretty much walked around the house in circles crying for 36 hours.

Ouch! I feel you bro. Like I said in my previous post I had that pain too but only on my shoulder. But the whole body? It must have been horrible...

...

Now, for the worst pain I've ever felt.

Appendicitis. The night before I went into hospital was the longest, most agonising night of my life, like someone was twisting my guts around their fist.

I can understand why people get addicted to morphine.

That shit is awesome and takes effect almost instantly.

This, it's the most pain I have ever been in in my life. Never before have i ever been grateful to black out for a few moments.

Probably the worst injury I've ever had was taking a machete to the face. I practice with throwing knives, and I was practicing with a machete. It hit the target wrong, bounced back, and I got the tip of the blade to my jaw. Stupid mistake? Yes. Anyway, it didn't really hurt. At first all I felt was just shock that it happened, then my jaw felt numb. After that I started feeling a stinging sensation, went to the bathroom to get a band aid, iodine, bacitracin, what have you, and saw that I had cut about a 7/8 inch long slice into my jaw. I sat there nursing it with a towel for a good 3 hours getting the blood to stop pouring out of my face. What was neat, was that once it wasn't oozing blood, I could open the cut slightly, and see my gums. I ended up dousing it with iodine and hydrogen peroxide for a bit, cleaning it off, putting bacitracin zinc on it, and then sealed the cut with super glue. Worked really well actually, it's been a good three years since it happened, I never got an infection, and you can barely see the scar. I had some reservations about how I handled it until I found out later that my uncle, who was a butcher, nearly cut off his finger while cutting up a cow. He used superglue to seal the wound as well.

So just let me tell you this, always keep super glue handy. For lacerations, it works extremely well. Just make sure you can pull the skin together so it only connects the dermal tissue, it's not really something you want to get in the subdermal tissue.

Collapsed lungs are not fun, I always though they would leave you breathless but no, just very very painful.

 

[Xifel]

Getting trapped in a gas chamber with 50% teargas in it. Normally you use 2% so someone messed up.

Think of it like someone grilling you over open fire. And when you breath you cough until you puke, endlessly. And your eyes and nose hurts, of course.

Well, being electrocuted felt like being punched by a fucking gorilla all over, only for about 1 second though.

Ew.... Thanks for the advice and the rather disturbing story XD

When I was in wood shop, I told the guy to stop using the wood splitter so I could shove some of the split wood over to the opposite side of the room. He was talking to another person and as I stood up, he shoves a piece of wood into it without thinking. It heads straight for my balls just as I'm standing up. I take one step back, two steps to the left and just fall. I don't call unconcious, and I don't feel any pain for a day, but the worst part is when I started to get feeling in them...for the next week it was agonizing, yet, I still went to wood shop the next day.

 

[Gitty101]

Physically, the worst pain I've ever felt was after a motorcycle accident - broken left collar bone and fractured right hand. Couldn't do anything for the best part of a week.

Okay, this interests me, how did this happen?

for me was only 2 weeks ago, fell onto some volcanic rock while overseas and completely shredded my thumb and had a half sleeve tattoo of deep cuts and grazes.

luckily one of the people we were on holidays with is a doctor.

Didn't hurt all that bad either until he had to clean it with alcohol wipes....

Sorry to be a complete woman with my first but... child birth. Not just natural birth though, being fucking induced. That was the worst pain in my life.

Injury wise it would have to be when my ex got me with a knife on my left arm (scarred nicely now) I just remember a burning sensation and feeling like my arm was about to drop off.

Left leg infection that went untreated for several days due to circumstances. By the time I made it to the hospital, I had a high fever and got sent to ER. After examination, they told me that if I'd waited roughly another six hours, they would have had to amputate due to necrotic tissue. When they finally cut it open, almost a liter and a half of puss came out (not an exaggeration. The cup had measuring lines on it). Even with two shots of painkillers, it hurt like hell. Couldn't walk right for two months after.

I also got hit by a car as a child and that shattered my skull, but the accident als gave me retrograde amnesia, so I don't remember the pain or much of anything before that point, so I don't know if that counts. Technically, I must have felt the pain as evidenced by the photos taken at the scene. On the other hand, I have no idea what it felt like, fortunately.

 

[jameswilson799]

I had it several times whenever nerves of my leg get stretched or maybe I don?t know exactly what happens but it hurts like hell!

 

[FamoFunk]

Sciatica and Pelvic girdle/SPD all in one.

I wouldn't mind but it lasted for 6 goddamn months of 24/7 pain that required crutches and physio.

It finally ended with pushing a 6lb human out.
