The Most Horrific Pain of Your Life

[Lazarus Long]

Inguinal hernia. It happened at work, and I had to secure a replacement for the rest of my shift, then walk home. Not a good day. Nor an especially good week until the company got off its ass and paid for surgery.

Unrequited love. Especially when rational self starts fighting emotional self and everything in life gets caught in the crossfire.

two experiences come to mind:

1. three years ago i had an honest to god heart attack with the pain, not being able to breathe, numbness etc. it was as if my chest was being crushed by a solid titanium vise.

2. mi recently got over an infection of gout. built up of excess uric acid caused my foot to swell up and hurt so much that even putting a sock on caused me agony...when you have to decide whether or not you really HAVE to crawl to the bathroom even tho its 5 feet away because of the amount of pain you're in....thats not really a good day.

im pretty lucky when it comes to pain. nothing too terrible.

worst ive experienced were the awful growing pains in my legs when i was in 9th grade. when i bent them, it felt like my knees were being stung by flaming bumblebees

The worse pain I ever felt in my life was when every muscle in both my legs cramped up at the same time. I couldn't walk, fell over, and the cramps kept spreading up into my stomach. I had to be taken to the hospital and given large doses of muscle relaxant. No one is really sure why it happened.

I got a gash on the bottom of my foot once, but other than that god loves me.

My worst pain would be the following:
As you problably know, men usually have two nuts. A lesser known fact is that for a small percentage of men they might decide at some point to get entangled, cutting off the blood flow to one or both. Usually while sleeping apparently. It's a pain that builds up, it gets worse and worse and it's not in the nuts, it's felt in the lower belly for some reason.

Ah, yes, testicular torsion. I had that too, multiple times, until I had surgery for it. Which was kind of like slicing open a speedball and filling it with supports.

Have I mentioned that drugs are awesome? Seriously, analgesics are rad, especially when you have stitches between your legs.

Giving birth.


I win.

Ah! I challenge that. I reckon that getting kicked in the nuts is worse.
Why?
A lot of women have more than one kid.
Virtually no man wants to be kicked in the nuts more than once.

My cramps are so bad I probably could give birth monthly.

Most of this thread makes my legs shake ._.

 

[Uncle_Brainhorn]

My appendix burst. But that was more of a drawn out over the week I was in the hospital. I guess the most pain I've had at once was breaking my big toe on a trampoline.

 

[Hairetos]

spinal fusion surgery. hurt like shit for months.

I cut my thumb once. It bled but I slapped a Hello Kitty bandaid on it and it was all okay.

That's easy. Kidney stones. Easily the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life. The bright side of it was my introduction to intraveinous morphine. I think I would've started throwing things at nurses if not for the morphine.

Getting shot... 26 times... in Halo 3 because some douche bag thought it was a good idea to keep shooting a lifeless body after the first 3 bullets did the trick. Oh wait, real life. Getting surgery on my elbow to remove the glass from a previous accident involving a car hitting a tree and my elbow crashing through the window and hitting said tree. The surgery was supposed to last an hour to an hour and a half. They gave me pain medication and put me to sleep with enough to last the hour and half. The surgery instead ended up lasting 2 and a half hours and the dipshit doctors didn't think to give me more pain medication. So being wheeled out of surgery into the recovery ward, I was awoken to horrific burning pain in my elbow that took about 5 doses of morphine to remedy. That was fun however because the morphine numbed the rest of my body and I sat there poking my leg without feeling it.

I somehow cut off the tip of my little finger in the hinge of the bathroom door when I was a kid, it was one of those moments when I didn't feel any of the pain until after I pulled my hand back and saw the blood dripping everywhere.

3rd degree sunburn over my entire body. Blisters everywhere. Now that was the worse pain in my entire life and it was constant pain for 3 days.

Two posts in a row that encapture the tie in my life.

I got my fingers crushed in a door jam (they were about one third of their original height), and two years later, I suffered nasty sunburn (from Hawai'i) that left my entire back oozing delicious clear liquids for a week. I can't decide which was worse... but they were both reeeeally bad.

I broke my ankle playing basketball when I was 16.

or

I was hit in the face with a baseball pitch when I was... umm 14?

 

[Udyrfrykte]

I slept with my head in the wrong position one night, and when I woke up I literally could not move my neck from the horrible angle all the way to the left without the hideous pain getting even worse.

And then my neck started to ache from holding my head like that constantly. Luckily it went away on its own in like an hour.

Doesn't sound too good. If you've had headaches more frequently after, get it checked. You might have caused some long term damage to your neck. (I have/had that as a result of a similar neck injury)



Reminded me of when I fell asleep with my feet straight up against the wall. I woke up with very little blood in them. Moving them and having the blood rush to them (i think?) was pretty painful.

No spinal tap material though.
