Worst pain you've ever been in?

[CoziestPigeon]

Broke every finger at least once, dislocated my right shoulder, 5 concussions, broken leg, sprained ankle, strained back, and dislocated elbow.

I love (american) football and rugby. Good times. Pain is good.

Broken collar bone was the one that sticks in my mind. If not for duration then for the piercing, screaming pain that shot through me when I tried to move my arm after waking up with it.(I'm sad to say I had been drinking the night before and didn't notice.)

A while back while I was still in elementary school I jumped off a hill that turned out to be a little too high and landed on my straightened left leg. It hurt like hell at the time but after a month or two of crutches I was back to normal. Unbeknownst to me, it turned out that that particular incident had crushed all the cartilage. I had to have surgery to fix it a couple years ago because the cartilage had grown back jagged and was constantly cutting up the inside of my knee when I walked, leaving me in constant, sometimes agonizing pain. Fun times.

Hip surgery for dislocated hip joint

Either when I fell off a motorcycle and fractured my ankle, or when I was swapping out a spare tire, the jack fell and caught my hand between the spare and the wheelwell.

Ah, what the heck, I'll join in. I've had many accidents over the years.

Falling over with wine glasses in my hand and stabbing it? - No pain.

Dropping a tumble drier on my knee and gashing it open? - No pain.

Piece of toast? - GYAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! IT HURTS SO MUCH I CAN'T SCREAM!

A little back story methinks. I had a cavity. I left it alone. Then one day I innocently made me some toast, chomped down on it and felt the wrath of neglected teeth. I've since had that tooth out and I've not long been for my now regular dentist appointment. Not as epic as my fellow Escapists, but true nonetheless. Take heed!!

Actually I'd like to state that right now I am in intense pain (probably not worse than the nose ring via safety pin but pretty damn bad.) I don't know what I've done but my lower back and right leg are in so much pain I'm having a hard time walking. That is all.

 

[garjian]

the first (and last) time i climbed i tree, i got near the first sorta branch... fell off and got like... you know when half the tree falls down somehow and you have the sharp bit left over... well... i got that inside my leg for 5 mins :/

interestingly, the resulting scar healed over the years, however one time when i fell on a carpet and a chunk came outta my knee, the scar remains...

A chemical what-now? Either way it sounds painful.

Busted shoulder eh? Well I've been shot before. In the gut. Twice. So, that really did hurt. But on the up side I've got a T-shirt that makes me look realy tough because it covered in blood aand bullet holes.

You've been shot? How in the hell did you manage to get shot?

In a recent hockey game I took a full slapshot to the nether region from about a foot away, almost vomited from the feeling. I also got my nose/face broken in rugby and had to have stitches put into my nose, but that was bloodier, not more painful.

'

the slapshot thing happend to me a week ago.

Anyway, worst pain I ever had? Horrible Food poisoning. Every 3 minutes, I would get the most horrible pain in my stomach. All night. 12 hours. thats 240 times. I threw up.... once. I had the chills, and couldnt talk from the pain.

 

[KaZZaP]

I tried plugging something in with my tongue once, that hurt. I also stepped on a 2by4 with a screw sticking out of it, the screw went right threw my foot but I didn't even notice until the wood came up when I took my next step.

Severe Tonsillitis with Flu about a year back. I could just barely eat and drinking hurt, talking was awful, sleep was quite literally impossible and breathing was just constant pain. Was off work for the week and I'd NEVER taken time off for illness before.

Some genius said to me "Gargle whisky" but I always just drank tons of it instead. So for the week I was absolutely exhausted but couldn't sleep, starving hungry, drunk (unenjoyably so), freezing cold and in constant agony and misery. EASILY the worst week of my life.

Right now I'm dealing with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in my knees (Google it!) and have a cyst on the inside of my lip that is being removed at hospital later this month.

Anyone want to swap bodies?

(Kudos for beating those guys Sparrow Tag)

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

I've got two: Once when I was little I got my leg broken on a moon bounce (long story, don't ask) and it ended up getting broken on the growth plate so whenever I grow it hurts
Second is when I got two cysts removed, one on my neck and one on the back of my head. The removal itself wasn't bad, but it hurt to merely rub them so when they stuck a needle inside each to numb them it hurt like HELL. Weird thing is that the one removed from my neck looked exactly like a blueish-silver BB, to the point that the doctors actually sat and asked me if I had been shot. O_O

One time, after I recovered from a horrible flu, my "brilliant" mother decided to give me something for the flu that I was already over. After about ten minutes, it feels like I'm being repeatedly being kicked in the stomach by a mule while being disemboweled. This goes on for almost an hour. I couldn't even stand up it was so painful. Could only curl up into a tight ball until it was over. Ditsy mother never apologized.

Toe, meet radiator.

 

[Mardy]

Quite a few things, for me. Hands on oven, fell down some stone stairs. Almost drowned, saltwater in lungs dosn't feel good. Stepped on a nail, got a bottle to my head.

Edit: Oh and I accidently cut my mouth with a knife today.

Emotional Pain is by far worse than anything physical.

For a long time in my life, I went the the biggest depression in my life. I realized that I would never find love in my life and would die alone. I am not religous, yet I prayed every night in hope that I would die in my sleep, And when I woke up the next day, I would lay there and cry because it ment that it was another day that I would have to feel this pain.

For the most part, I've accepted this fact of my life and moved on. I know that I will never feel love and will die alone, but I don't need to think of it on a regualr basis. I no longer despair at my life in the mornings, But I will still experiance occasional periods of depression, usally triggered by seeing a couple in love.

I would rather have every bone in my body fractured into a million splinters that would tear me apart from the inside-out for the rest of my life, If it ment never feeling this way again.

Had an illness where my body felt the need to evacuate my bowels and make me throw up for 2 and a half weeks constantly, it felt like my stomach was going to be ripped apart.
