Basic training in the military. You are supposed to have you mask on, and you chem-suit (which also is your raincoat). I think some think went wrong cause the concentration was much much to high, and of course I got a mask with a broken filter.
I wasn't "trapped" in the room, I just couldn't find my way out because of the gas which was thick you only could see 2 inches in front of you. The the gas made me tear up and I sort of panicked, until the LT came an pulled me out. It's amazing you can get lost in a room that is about 10 square meters
captca: fishy smell. Thought it was sort of appropriate
Quite a few contenders for most pain I have been in, though two experiences do stick out,
First was when I was in nursery aged about four or five when a fellow child threw a solid wooden block at my head which split open. That was not painful part, the painful part was at the hospital where they glued or stitched my head together without pain relief, though I'm not sure of the details as I was too busy screaming my lungs out in pain to notice exactly what they where doing... hey lighten up I was just a kid back then!
My second experience of most crippling pain needs some background info as it is quite a long story. I used to work for a building firm when I first left school, mainly fitting windows at the time. One day I was working a site of a retirement replacing old windows when I delivery for the glass panes arrived. It started off normally unloading the glass from the lorry until of the fellas right before picks up a big pane of glass and I then took one step closer to the van. However this turned out to be a rather silly thing to do in hindsight as the co-worker instead of going towards where we had been storing the glass, decides to turn back on himself and doing so hit me in the torso with the pane of glass. It was a weird sensation, it actually felt being hit with a bat and actually thought, though in some pain I thought was alright. That was until another co-worker asked "it didn't go through your shirt did it?" and which I was like "my shirt?". That was when I noticed the hole in my shirt where underneath I found another hole in my torso with blood pouring out.
Fast forward to the hospital where I had been dump like an od'ing hooker, (I'm not kidding they literally drove me to the hospital and left me there so they could get back to the job, leaving me with no way to get home or way of contacting anyone as my phone had crapped out) I was eventually seen to my a doctor (and here is where the pain begins). The doctor explained to me that there might be small shards of glass in the wound so he would check to be sure. He proceeded to dig around inside the wound with a pair of cold tweezers, without giving me any pain killers before gave up looking and sent me to radiology for them to check >_<. However unlike my first example I bared the pain in a proper manly way and just thought about all the nasty things I'm going to do to this sadistic doctor once he's patched me up. I did get eventually get some pain killers...3 hours after being admitted and 10 minutes before being discharged (damn NHS!). What followed was two weeks of horrible pain as my entire torso ached and I literally could not sit up myself or use any muscles in my torso because of the pain. I had to get out of bed my sliding myself out being careful not to bend in anyway. All in all it wasn't the most pleasant of 2 weeks and you know what the worst thing was? That job I was working on...it was the last week there before I left to go to college -_-

Though this is a close runner up mind.Rawne1980 said:
I know it's not the worst, but it's the only thing that I can remember being really painful due to how rarely I have a really painful injury. My little brother has had some pretty bad pains over the years, but I can't feel that.Headsprouter said:
First point of contention. Penicillin is an antibotic, not a painkiller.Matthew94 said:
Second point of contention. If you used a different "painkiller", why did it still cause a reaction.
Third point of contention. Why were you receiving IV anything for a broken collarbone?
Fourth point of contention. Why would you scratch a pain?
OT: Worst pain I've ever felt? It certainly wasn't the infected, ingrown tonail I've had for a couple weeks. Judging by the first couple of posts, maybe I should check for nerve-damage in my feet. Purely physical pain, I think I'm gonna have to go with the time when I was about 6, when my sister slammed the sliding van door on my head. That hurt like hell, I couldn't even stand for hours. Either that or a good hard shot to the nuts, shorter length but much worse.
When I was younger I had otitis media in my right ear which is when the middle ear becomes infected and causes massive swelling behind the ear drum, I thought my ear was going to explode. I was only 8 at the time and it's still the most pain I have ever been in, although I'm pretty sure that the hangovers I have on New Year's Day are a close second.
Hmm, probably when I went to the hospital for an u.v. infusion and the nurse was (obviously) having a bad day. She hit a nerve with the needle...
HOLY $#&@ THAT HURT!!
I can't watch the amputation part of 127 hours after that *shudder*

I once sprained my toe. It hurt a bit.
I've been really fortunate in my life to never get seriously injured or ever endure something all that painful. It's not that I live a sheltered life though, I do plenty of dangerous things for thrills but I am just really lucky I guess (or just good at what I do).

An ear infection I had as a child. I remember lying on my side crying for hours. Every time I moved my head, the pain went from just murderous-throbbing straight up to white-lances-of-agony. That is the longest I have ever been off school/work due to illness. Seven days in bed, four of which were utter hell.
Stupid ear.
As an aside, it does not comfort me that, whenever I mention this incident to my mother, she just smiles and says, "Wait until you try giving birth. That's pain!"

Alergy test shots. they give you around a hundred shots in a 3 days span bu they are very shallow shot, as soon as the needle gets under your skin they pull your skin out with the needle. I was about 10 years old when i got through that.
Captcha: nice job. Not quite, i cried and screamed with all my lungs the whole time.

I cracked my head open on pavement once (friend pushed me down concrete stairs) I was knocked out for a good 20 mins, I was taken to a doctor by my Mum, the doctor decided to stitch me up while I was unconscious, I woke up face down covered in blood with 3 people holding me down while I could feel a needle and thread go through my scalp while I still had a cracked skull and bleeding everywhere, until my Mum mentioned this a few years ago I always thought this was a horrible nightmare I had (repressed memory, yay!) I also crashed into a corner of a wall (a steel corner go figure) when I was about 3 and cracked my forehead head open I remember sitting in a hospital bleeding out for about 4 hours with no pain killers or anaesthetic, until a nurse suggested my Mum should go see a doctor, 'really lady? What are hospitals for?!' oh and because I 'waited' so long to be seen by a doctor I have a large unsightly scar on my forehead, whoo!
My most painful event was probably nocking out a front tooth, and nocking one out of place when I was four. To add salt to the wound, the doctor decided to put his hand in my mouth, and jam my wiggly tooth back into the tooth hole (socket?).
Damn i don't know...
I do believe when I was picking a piece of glass out of my foot. I picked the entire first layer of my skin off (the glass was just on the first layer, not in it) and I picked skin off by itself. Veryyyy painful.

Sorry, but that just sounds absolutely hilarious. It isn't, I know, and that's a fucking huge cut, but god, I laughed a lot. Maybe because it's 1:30 in the morning...yogibbear said:
I had a cap for my tooth poorly made, and basically, food got under it. Bacteria basically ate the tooth away. Then, the pain started. Imagine having a soldering iron plunged into your ear. FUCKING HELL. I could not sleep, think, eat, breathe, or anything without crying when it hit. It'd happen randomly, even during class, or half-way through the night. Took a month for the doctor to see me. Then it just kept happening before the operation happened to remove the cap. I was given anesthesia for it, so I can't really remember. Now, I don't usually cry from pain. This was so intense that I could do nothing else.
Another was an infected ingrown toenail. Hurt like a ***** for a week. If I moved it, pain. Then, of course, I hit it against a table leg...
I went to the doctor as soon as I could. The "operation" took 5 minutes, no anesthesia. Just pain. I couldn't see what had happened, as he put some curtain thing between me and my toe, so that was good, at least. Hurt even after the op. For 5 minutes. Just remained the same, and then disappeared.
EDIT: Toenail, all my fault. Kids, don't bite or pull your nails. Finger, toe, whatever. I did, for about 17 years. I'm 17. At least once a year, I'd have to get an operation for something stupid that I caused. I did stop, but that took a hell of a lot of willpower.
