Poll: Worst Male Pain: Caution - Not for the Squeamish.

[Hinro]

ive experienced soothing called a suicide headache and as the name suggests it supposedly the most painful felling the human body can create
the first time i had one i passed out and i have to have medication to stop them
the feeling been compared to having a nail forced through your temple

also a root canal i had when i was 7 was pretty awful as it took 3 pulls to get the tooth out

I always wondered what it could be called but I think mine is a bit worse. imagine these suicide headaches but, between episodes, having a slight headache at all times. I haven't gone a day in my life that I can remember without having a headache. My mom seems to think it has something to do with my heart's semi lunar valve being slightly open which, if I either am not active enough or get my heart rate too high, can cause un-oxidized blood to go to my head causing the pain. I have had them so bad that I have waken up in the middle of the night screaming and it felt like someone was pulling my head apart from the inside.

The first major one I had was in grade 6 at a camp with my school. I was in the middle of playing a game with my friends when all of a sudden the pain hit. I screamed and ran into the bedroom grabbing at my head. My teacher came in and asked me what was wrong and I told him I had a headache and it felt like my head was being ripped apart. He made everyone wait outside the room for four hours before he allowed them to go into the room and they all entered extremely quietly but I could still hear every step as if they were happening inside my head.

On the bright side, I've come up with some creative ways to get rid of the less severe headaches if they start to become truly uncomfortable.

I would have to say kidney stone since that's the one i would least want to go through!

 

[Communist partisan]

They all hurt, no matter who hurts more they are all unwelcome.

 

[Caligulove]

Kidney stones. Never had one yet but I dread just thinking about it.

Subject similar to this got brought up at work (most painful feeling etc etc) and my boss overheard and stated kidney stones saying that he passed a 2.25-mm kidney stone and up until the point where it actually passed out of his body he was convulsing, vomiting and screaming in pain- quite literally screamed out that he wished he would die already. Looks back on it and laughs now, but fuck...

The two worst pains I've felt in my life would be a time getting hit in the gonads- and a few muscle cramps- which really will make you collapse in pain, especially in the quadriceps or charley-horses. That or nocturnal muscle contractions bring a level of fear as well. All of a sudden your calves (usually) just cramp up while youre resting or even while you sleep and wake you up in a complete panic- not knowing what to do, those few seconds when it begins are terrifying. Then you remember to massage your calve and walk on it a bit and it goes away

Almost 5 years ago as a side effect of crohn's disease my small intestine ruptured right where it meets the large intestine, for roughly 48 hours all the contents of my digestive track leaked in to my abdominal cavity.

The pain of that is not describable with words and by far the worst pain a man or woman could possible experience that didn't end with their death.

In quick thinking last year I took one of the most painful groin kicks ever. I working at the YMCA and we were playing dodge and some 5th grader came up to me with a basket ball, NOT A DODGE BALL, and threw the BASKETBALL full force at my groin at literally point blank range. I sat down the rest of day.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Out of that list, it would be zipper-related injuries.

*shudders*

Not on that list, getting stung by a wasp(or I think it was a hornet... can't remember) right in the bend of your finger. That is easily the worst pain I've ever endured.

Thats just me though.

For added discussion; if you had to describe the pain without referencing the body part (as if it was to someone over the phone), how would you describe it?

I don't think I could describe the pain. It was just... just horrible. I'd catch myself 10 times with the zipper rather then go through that pain again.

Try getting stung on the fucking eye-lid at the age of 7.
Damn that shit hurt.

However, I pretty much have to agree. I've suffered ball-kicks, punches to the face, falling over quickly on hard surfaces...fuck those wasps man, fuck them to hell.

Ball kicks don't really hurt so much as they give you an extremely unpleasant feeling of numbness. Wasps however, they know how to make grown men cry. I've never broken anything though, so I can't really say.

For me, the worst pain is knowledge. A few months back I had an incident with one of my feet, and wasn't able to walk for a week or so. It wasn't so much the pain that hurt, it was the knowledge that I wouldn't be able to do certain things. I wouldn't be able to run, I wouldn't be able to jog, I wouldn't be able to dance...

I recovered, of course, but from this, I can only extrapolate the worst pain a man can go through is old age or limb loss. Knowing you'd never be able to enjoy a walk through the countryside, or knowing that each staircase would be an impossible journey... that's the worst pain a man can go through.

Migrane as I lose all ability to function in any way beyond going to a dark place and waiting for things to get better.

Though my worst pain comes from one of the several dozen knee dislocations I've suffered in my life. I'd take a migrane over that any day.

While this isn't a male exclusive, stinging nettles hurt like a *****.
Stinging nettles (if you don't know) are these weird plants with tons of little thorns. However, the thorns alone aren't the worst part.
Stinging nettle thorns act as a sort of hypodermic needle that injects the stung area with histamine and other chemicals, which results in an intense stinging pain that lasts about a minute.
I stepped on a whole one when I was like seven. I can still remember to this day how awful it was.
Also, being kicked in the balls sucks. A lot.

Nothing tops Johnny Cage's Nutbuster X-ray.

I see your Johnny Cage nut buster X-ray and counter with Johnny Cage Nutsack Mutilation fatality!

 

[Speakercone]

I nominate testicular tortion.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicular_torsion
It's worse than it sounds.

Mentioned before, Cluster headache aka suicide headache.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_headache

Cruxifiction likely isn't all that pleasant either.


As for "the worst pain imaginable"
Having a stroke while bathing an infant and lying imobile as it drowns.

 

[SilentCom]

well, I've only experienced brain freeze and ball kicks, and I'm going to say brain freeze. Ball kicks don't really seem to hurt, just feel really bad...

I'd describe it as having a frozen goddamn brain.

You must not have been kicked very hard then.

OT: It's hard for me to decide considering I have not felt most of the options stated and I tend to be careful so I don't get injured too much. I do remember that getting hit in the groin hurts like a *****, so I would have to vote for that.

 

[Kurt Horsting]

Snip

Touché. Then again, it was more painful to actually play Shaolin Monks...

 

[Blue_vision]

I said "migraine," with the intent of headaches in general. Cluster headaches bro, I've heard they suck.

 

[Squeaky]

When i pulled the muscles inbetween the ribs, felt like someone sticking a white hote poker inbetween my ribs everytime in inhaled.

 

[Sandytimeman]

I've had plenty of foot surgeries. I've also cracked my skull in three places, broken both my wrists, and had surgery on one of my knees.

I would say of all of that, the worst pain I had was the knee surgery. It could be because that happened when I was a kid. I think back and I can't seem to recall the pain level. So hard to say.

Women are designed to take pain better, but I would assume passing a kidney stone out your penis would probably be the closest a man could come to child birth pain.

From personal experience having my nose broken.

From personal experience having my nose broken.

Friend of mine had their nose broken. The blood clotted inside their broken nose, so they had to re-break the nose to allow them to reset it. Had I not been drinking I might even remember who it was...

Mine was a double barrell thing since it hurt my pride to since a girl did the breaking. I doubt I will ever be able to live it down lolz
