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?).
Biggest pain you've ever felt?

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.

Stepped on a big Sea Urchin once. We were pretty far out from civilization, so my dad had to try and get the deeply embedded spines out with two knives. That didn't end well. Eventually, we just left them in there because they were basically impossible to get out (even for a doctor a few days later).
Appendicitis was pretty bad, but nothing compared to that. I also got smashed in the head with a golf club once (accidently - don't ever play golf with a woman
).

Based on what I've been reading here, I've gotten off pretty lucky with a baseball breaking my nose on 2 separate occasions.
Happened to me once. Poorly designed hotel. Hurt for an hour or so. It was a small one though. Got back to my room, dad went to get vinegar. Put my toe in, and took a nap on the balcony. All gone. The spines are mostly calcium, and dissolve quickly in white vinegar. Most aren't even poisonous.FateOrFatality said:
Seems like I've had it pretty easy compared to some people on here.
I used to get terrible migraines but I worked out a method to avoid them. There are several signs before I get a migraine, first of all I get an aura in the corner of one (or both) of my eyes (this means basically my vision is extremely blurred in the corner, like a blind spot), then my hands and arms begin to tingle like I've got pins and needles, then the migraine hits. But when I get an aura I know if I lie down and close my eyes tight for 10 minutes or so it will go away, and the migraine never comes. Thanks to this I haven't had a real migraine for years now, but when I used to get them my god they were bad.
This one wasn't even that painful, but it should have been. When I was about 12 I remember my brother had lego bits lying around and some of them were broken, and there was one very sharp broken bit of plastic, like a pole (not sure what it was supposed to be before it broke) maybe 1.5cm thick and 7cm long. I stepped on it and it went right though my foot through the sensitive middle area. I remember it hurting and I remember hopping around for a second, but I also remember pulling it out by myself before getting my mum to bandage it, and I don't remember crying or really thinking it was a big deal. It's weird because these days I'm very sensitive to pain.

Slashed my chest and chipped a rib back in high-school when some kids were shoving each other, one flew on me and I lost balance and fell chest first on a faucet. Strangest thing was at the time I didn't feel a damn thing, sure it was hard to breathe but it didn't hurt at first. Went to the hospital, cleaned the wound, yatta yatta, following day it hurt to exist. Everything I did was followed by the sharpest and most agonizing pain in my chest, breathing was very painful, talking was almost impossible, each step I took was so difficult my legs went limp with the pain.
Wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Tattoo on left forearm got infected. I had to hold my arm over my head (kept the pressure down) for 4 days. Lowering it at all felt like my arm would literally burst open.
Unfortunately we didn't have any vinegar on hand as we'd taken our boat to a pretty remote area. This one wasn't poisonous either fortunately, but it was very big and the spines were damned hard to get out.redisforever said:
I'm actually probably pretty lucky that it wasn't a poisonous species, considering I live in Australia.
Bruised lung, very sharp pain. I couldn't lie down to sleep due to the pressure of my chest on my lung so I slept in a sitting position for a week. Tylenol 3 didn't do jack all to help either.
I also had an ingrown toenail for about 10 years, I finally got the surgery to fix it last December. The pain I felt when the painkillers wore off after the surgery was pretty intense too, but not quite as much as the bruised lung.

Yeah, that's pretty lucky. They tend to break up really easily, too. I just got back to my room, and googled on my phone how to deal with it. I'd have needed to pay for the wifi, but their login screen was broken, and just let you use it.FateOrFatality said:
I have Crohn's Disease as a result of that my small intestine preferred and began leaking stomach acid and what ever was in my stomach that was not vomited up into my abdomen. That shit hurts really bad.
I almost died and had to have emergency surgery to repair my intestines. I had over a foot of damaged bowel.
Recovery wasn't that much more pleasant.

Oooh that's a toughie.
Is it the time I broke my left arm as a child?
Is it the time I broke my left arm riding a bike?
Is it the time I broke my left arm whil bringing in the washing?
Or is it the time I got my brown rotten tooth pulled?
Thank you for these memories OP

Broken ankle when I was 13...landed on it, snapped a bone inside and knocked a load of the others out of place by bending it right back. Needed surgery, and an ingrown toenail when I was learning to walk again did not help. In contrast, the second time I broke my ankle about a year ago was nearly painless, because I only thought it was twisted at first and walked around the hospital on it for a few hours.
