Biggest pain you've ever felt?

I had a severely herniated disk and my sciatic nerve looped out of the back of my spine instead of the side. The result of this was that it had no more slack and it felt like every nerve fiber in my right leg was being pulled out thru my lower back. Morphine barely touched it. No real sleep for 7 days.
Stepping into a pit of ash from burnt garbage that was still hot .. I was 10 and at scouts in Malawi, Africa .. third degree burns over the sides of the feet - had jumped straight back out, but the damage was done.
Worst pain since then.. kicking my little toe into something solid, while walking around at home.. suspect I fractured it - it's still slightly bigger than its counterpart on the other foot.
Hmm actually, scratch the toe - although it lasted longer, the worst pain was due to a big cavity in my remaining bottom wisdom tooth - most of a week of nurofen (painkiller) until I got it removed as an emergency (of sorts) operation at the local dental hospital, and got out the two top wisdom teeth as a job lot (they were coming out of the gum at an angle that would push against the neighbouring teeth).
A parting blow from those teeth was that the bottom of that bottom wisdom tooth was hooked under the nerve and I could feel that through the local anaesthetic. The tooth had to be broken apart into pieces by drilling it. It was a relief to put that episode behind me.

Probably when i crushed my little finger in our heavy wooden outer door before puberty
Or when i held a fireworks fountain upside down in my hand
The whole thing swelled up to a pusy mess, had to have it bandaged for about a week

Whaat? That sounds way more serious than a simple headacheUltrajoe said:
Spontaneous kidney failure due to burst blood vessels in the sides. People poked a bit too hard, too many times, on the same spot. I didn't sleep, I passed out from sleep deprivation because the pains were keeping me up. Like a constant electrical charge surging through my sides.
i have heart pressure lowdowns and once i got one at a mall, i couldn´t think and barely talk. more than pain, i couldn´t feel anything except of my whole body shaking. it was one of the most terrifying fellings i ever had
I had the right set of my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago, and they gave me T3s. No one cared to mention that they may not work on me. Suffice to say, it felt like a fucking donkey kicked me in the face.
When I got the left set removed, extra strength liquid tynol. Never felt a thing.
And people still wonder why I hate the dentist.

I'm largely free from injury in my lifetime...
Having my lip sewn up largely without anaethesia, I suppose. I got mugged in Russia, involving bruised ribs and a split lip.
The anaesthesia didn't seem to stick. Badness, given that a large portion of bloody infected lip seemed to be cut off before the remainder was inexpertly sewn together with old-style wire stiches.
Rubbish, but not terrible in the grand scheme of things.
I've not been kicked in the knackers for years.

I dislocated and broke my wrist when snowboarding (on the first day, on the first damn piste!). That... didn't really hurt much honestly, I sorta just kept going and told the group "I think I hurt my wrist" when we stopped.
Anyway, the painful part was after I had the x-rays and was told it was broken and dislocated. The doctor told me anaesthetic would hurt just as much as resetting it and I believed him. I believe he was wrong. Having a broken wrist jerked around in 360 motions had me lying on the table gripping as hard as I could with my other hand trying not to yell. The male nurse at the office was nice though!

Terrifying isn't it?geK0 said:
In relation to your story, when I was about 17, I found one day that I could no longer pee. I made several trips to the doctor over the course of two weeks, the first time they failed to catheterize me, but luckily was able to piss afterwards(without being too graphic when you pee after something like that it's like something out of your worst nightmare, for instance the nurse accidentally pierced the vein wall of my urethra in her failed attempt). They gave me some muscle relaxants and figured it was just some kind of weird fluke. A couple days later I go home from school with extreme pain being unable to pee for the next ten hours and feeling like all my lower bits were going to explode. We go to a different hospital, where I go under the knife of a urologist. When I awake he tells me he had to remove scar tissue from my urethra. He tells me it looks to be caused from either a really vicious blow to my groin or repeated blows is how the scar tissue developed. I don't know if any of you had idiotic morons in school who like to play bag tag, but I unfortunately did. Nowadays whenever anyone makes a move to try and hit me in my junk, I flip out. Let that be a lesson to any of you who do any sort of idiotic shit or skate or bike or whatever. Remember that you could end up not peeing and having to have your urethra operated on....oh and I removed the catheter myself in the shower, having to have a piss bag for a week.
I had penis pain once, it always felt like I needed to piss, but nothing would come out no matter how hard I pushed. Hurt like hell when it finally started flowing thoughBrionJames said:
Well, my worst pain doesn't seem to be as hardcore as everyone else...
Mine is sunburns. 2 to be exact. Due to my pale skin, I get them often enough, but these two were by far the worst. The first one happened because I was at the beach and the sunscreen wore off. And, being a sunburn, it didn't seem all that bad at first. But slowly, that fucker crept up on me and suddenly I'm in a blinding burning pain everytime I moved. My entire back and shoulders were red and the next day is when the nerves decided they were fried and the skin started to die. Now, I don't know who knows this, but when your skin dries, it itches. and when your nerves are fried, they feel literally everything. So, I had to choose between scratching my back to relieve the itch and cause an intense burn or sit and endure the itch. I ended up going to the bathtub with cold water every 10 minutes. I also tried aloe vera and something else, but the two reacted and caused even more itching and pain. By the end, my skin blistered.
The other time was when I had a track meet and a couple days after I got the burn, it turned dark brown and started to flake off like scales. I was older though, so I manned up and took it.
Overall, fuck the sun.

Breaking both legs in 1977 skateboarding, wasn't taken to hospital till next day.
Sounds like kidney stones. Drink more water, cut back on the caffine or soda, or you can expect more stones eventually.Sean Hollyman said:

I suffer from migraines, chronic ear ache tinnitus but the most painful one has to be when I needed a root clonal but couldn?t be seen to for 2 years (the dentist got shut down because the building well broke) and it took them that long to get me exchanged to a different one (yay for going private)
A large crack appeared in my tooth and I had had enough,I put a plastic knife in the crack and twisted the tooth broke in half and after a lot of swearing I ripped it out and killed the nerve. When I got to the dentist all they did was pull out what was left.
I?ve been told I have a high pain threshold being autistic but ether way that hurt a lot.
and ditto on the brushing
I remember when I was younger going to the dentist to have two teeth removed after an accident (Which caused these two particular teeth to.. move position) so I could then be fitted with braces, so I had to receieve an injection into the gum to numb the area, was a bit painful but nothing too bad. After 5 minutes the dentist then took out a pair of pliers and told me to close my eyes saying I wouldn't feel a thing...
She was wrong, I felt the pliers clamp down on the first tooth and as I was about to say I could still feel it she pulled on it. Hard, and I felt it for the next 10 minutes and had to sit through another injection whilst shaking with blood pouring out of my mouth, not fun.

The worst pain I've felt was probably when I was 16. I was in the hospital for an abscess in my side. I went in for the usual procedure to have it drained, etc. Anyway, they had decided to leave the incision open and pack it full of a really long gauze strip to soak up what hadn't drained. The fun bit is that this gauze strip needed to be changed twice a day. I was on morphine for pain control but that sort of thing tends to override any kind of pain medication they could give except, perhaps, for an epidural...Maybe.
I can't really think of anything aside from that except for occasions where my Crohn's Disease has acted up.

Broke a wisdom tooth. Cracked it in half like splitting a piece of wood. That actually didn't hurt all that much.
Then half the tooth came out and stuff started touching the raw, living nerve. Felt like being stabbed in the face with a red-hot icicle every time my heart beat for the next few days.

I used to be really into dangerous sports, so I've got plenty of good broken bone stories. But the absolute worst, most uncomfortable thing ever is when I got a spinal tap. They put this 12-inch needle into your spinal cord, and it's this terrifying freezing cold metal feeling going from the top of your neck all the way down inside your pelvis, in a place where normally you feel no sensation at all. Then the needle is hooked up to a pump for like an hour, just to extract a very small vial of spinal fluid. It's so painful, and your back spasms for days afterward... I still hate receiving massages or anything where someone touches my back.
