Worst pain you've ever been in?

[shadowman712]

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.

...That made me think for a long while...I think you're right,that does sound far worse...

I've have incredibly bad luck with injuries. I've been shot, hit by cars, had a minor stabbing, fallen off of buildings, thrown through a window, and even once tackled someone off a third story balcony. And yes, dislocated my shoulders.
The single most painful experience I've had in my life, was breaking my pelvis bone. I was pressed between a rolling car bumper, and the trailer-hitch of another car.
I cannot explain the pain I felt there, or during the three months it took to heal, but, I would happily have my ribs broken again, then break my pelvis bone.

Getting shot, how exactly did that feel? Not to sound like a jackass, lol, just sort of...curious.

The first time, was richocet from a small caliber pistol. I remember being thrown forward, like someone had just run into me at full speed. After that, a pain that I have trouble describing, coming from my lower back.
The second time, was from a shotgun loaded with rock salt. That when, I felt immediately. I was running from a farmer (long story, that I would rather not discuss), and, he fired at me as I was trying to hop a fence. I was knocked into the fence hard enough, that, with the combination of the force of the salt, my full run, and, my sudden lack of balance, I was thrown into, and through the fence. Do you know the feeling, when you get an incredibly bad scrape? The dull throbbing that worsens as you go? And the feeling of dieing nerves when you use a alcohol as a cleaning agent? Combine them, and have it take up your entire back, then triple the pain.

I was younger and we were playing red rover in the gym. i was choosen and i broke through the line and kept running, i jumped and kicked off the wall i celebration but when i landed i didnt bend my knees so my mid section crumbled. it collapsed my lungs and i almost died. when i tried to breath it was just pain

 

[catalyst8]

in the process I dislocated my shoulder.

Yes, a dislocated shoulder for me too, it's sheer agony. Had a broken nose a few times & various concussions, mashed myself on a couple of motorbikes, pulled the odd muscle, had food poisoning, even a perforated eardrum, but a dislocated shoulder is the most awful, unbelievable pain I've ever experienced. Nineteen years later it still gives me grief.

My left shoulder disintegrated while throwing a pitch in 1992, last tune-up practice before the season started. I was going to pitch for Wakefield High on opening day but I somehow managed to tear a rotator cuff AND a ligament at the same time. The joint never recovered and now my shoulder can do nothing more than predict the weather.

Back in the summer of 2000 I decided to see what would happen if I tried to strengthen the arm and try to get my pitching ability back and all it got me was a sore shoulder and a 47 mile an hour (I threw 80 at age 14) fastball and a curveball that could only be contacted by telephone once it left my hand.

I had a kidney stone a year ago. I'm a guy. After a day at home trying the mind over matter thing I was pretty much just bawling and literally vomiting in pain and thought my appendix was going to explode(thought it was appendicitis). Went to the ER and they take their sweet time running tests before giving me (inadequate) painkillers and sending me home. e_e Ended doing a drug-pool thing in my family for more painkillers. They gave me 20 hydrocodone 7.5s. Pathetic...

For the record, I've dislocated my arm at the shoulder and broken numerous bones, including two of my vertebrae in a car accident. Organ pain > bone pain.

Anyone who wants to call me a pussy for crying over the pain have a go at it. One can only hope you'll have to go through the same thing some day.

 

[13lackfriday]

I don't feel pain.

Though I did just burn my wrist getting my pizza out of the toaster oven.
It still kind of pulses.

Pulled some leg muscle playing halo 3.

how the hell did you pull that off?

You know when you pull the left trigger to speed up on the ghost to spatter somebody?

Well I guess I got a little too excited...

Didn't even get the kill.

I would've said overzealous tea-bagging, but okay.

Christ.
You got a therapist? Maybe you should talk to him.
He could prescribe you some very potent antidepressants...and if those go awry, at least it'll speed up the inevitable.

Anyways, cheer up mate.
You'll find someone eventually, or just do your best to fool yourself into thinking that.
And there's always prostitution/mail-order bribes/gold-diggers (assuming you become suitably financially successful)/...etc.

i mean this in a totally non-snarky way, but 18 is a little young to have resigned yourself to dying alone. there are millions of people out there you haven't met, and there are plenty who will be compatible with you.

Just a small list of some of my more painful experiences:

Stepping on a huge chunk of glass while barefoot.
Getting a filling yanked out (sans painkiller) by a crackpot dentist.
Cracking my head on concrete when I was small.
Taking a swan dive down a flight of stairs.
Breaking my ankle.

 

[FrostyV3]

I fell off my roof, landing on my back on a metal spiked fence. I severed three vertebrae, which had minimal impacts on my movement, thank god. It only hurts when it tilt my head backwards a fair way. I also broke my wrist as I stopped my fall off said fence (which did bugger all because I split me head open anyway)

This all happened about 4 years ago.

So hooray; now I have two tiny screws in my spine, my wrist still hurts if I rest on it, and I have a giant scar running from my forehead to the back of my head.

The day after I crushed my finger. while taking pain meds. Strangely enough, when I actually crushed my finger I felt little pain during the 6 hour wait in the hospital to get my finger stitched up.

 

[Neesa]

When I got my period for the first time when I was around 12 years old. It was one of the most painful days of my life. The lower half of my body felt like it was on fire and started going numb. Then feelings your insides twist and turn, making you want to rip out your uterus. Then the fact that I couldn't walk for a few hours didn't help. Funny thing, this all happened on a Sunday afternoon at church. It's like "Man, being pregnant and getting contractions does NOT sound like fun."

Then I think there's the recovery process when I got my tonsils and adenoids taken out. I wanted to be on painkillers but my mom didn't want me to get addicted. So I had to suck up the pain. Ice cream was my bff.

Emotional pain: Far more scarring, but those wounds are healed....Slightly.

Interesting thing I heard the other day, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the chemical compound that is broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to produce energy in the muscles and blah blah blah, anyway apparently research was done on the idea of injecting ATP straight into the body instead of bothering with eating. My biology teacher told me that ATP triggers a firing of nerves cells and if injected it would cause the worst amount of pain that is possible to experience.

How does it manage to stimulate nerves to fire? I can't think of a receptor present on a neuron which would allow ATP to bind to it... Also I presume you're injecting it straight into the muscle?

Watching Turbine win March Mayhem has been pretty painful.
Ho ho, ZING!

I don't really know, It's year 11 biology and we were talking about ATP and he said that if injected it would cause the worst pain possible to experience, I haven't research to confirm that but I'm inclined to believe my bio teacher because he's really smart. I'll see what I can find on the net.
