Collapsed lungs are not fun, I always though they would leave you breathless but no, just very very painful.

Getting trapped in a gas chamber with 50% teargas in it. Normally you use 2% so someone messed up.

Think of it like someone grilling you over open fire. And when you breath you cough until you puke, endlessly. And your eyes and nose hurts, of course.

Well, being electrocuted felt like being punched by a fucking gorilla all over, only for about 1 second though.

Probably the worst injury I've ever had was taking a machete to the face. I practice with throwing knives, and I was practicing with a machete. It hit the target wrong, bounced back, and I got the tip of the blade to my jaw. Stupid mistake? Yes. Anyway, it didn't really hurt. At first all I felt was just shock that it happened, then my jaw felt numb. After that I started feeling a stinging sensation, went to the bathroom to get a band aid, iodine, bacitracin, what have you, and saw that I had cut about a 7/8 inch long slice into my jaw. I sat there nursing it with a towel for a good 3 hours getting the blood to stop pouring out of my face. What was neat, was that once it wasn't oozing blood, I could open the cut slightly, and see my gums. I ended up dousing it with iodine and hydrogen peroxide for a bit, cleaning it off, putting bacitracin zinc on it, and then sealed the cut with super glue. Worked really well actually, it's been a good three years since it happened, I never got an infection, and you can barely see the scar. I had some reservations about how I handled it until I found out later that my uncle, who has a butcher, nearly cut off his finger while cutting up a cow. He used superglue to seal the wound as well.

So just let me tell you this, always keep super glue handy. For lacerations, it works extremely well. Just make sure you can pull the skin together so it only connects the dermal tissue, it's not really something you want to get in the subdermal tissue.
Ew.... Thanks for the advice and the rather disturbing story XD

When I was in wood shop, I told the guy to stop using the wood splitter so I could shove some of the split wood over to the opposite side of the room. He was talking to another person and as I stood up, he shoves a piece of wood into it without thinking. It heads straight for my balls just as I'm standing up. I take one step back, two steps to the left and just fall. I don't call unconcious, and I don't feel any pain for a day, but the worst part is when I started to get feeling in them...for the next week it was agonizing, yet, I still went to wood shop the next day.

Physically, the worst pain I've ever felt was after a motorcycle accident - broken left collar bone and fractured right hand. Couldn't do anything for the best part of a week.

Okay, this interests me, how did this happen?

for me was only 2 weeks ago, fell onto some volcanic rock while overseas and completely shredded my thumb and had a half sleeve tattoo of deep cuts and grazes.

luckily one of the people we were on holidays with is a doctor.

Didn't hurt all that bad either until he had to clean it with alcohol wipes....

Sorry to be a complete woman with my first but... child birth. Not just natural birth though, being fucking induced. That was the worst pain in my life.

Injury wise it would have to be when my ex got me with a knife on my left arm (scarred nicely now) I just remember a burning sensation and feeling like my arm was about to drop off.

Left leg infection that went untreated for several days due to circumstances. By the time I made it to the hospital, I had a high fever and got sent to ER. After examination, they told me that if I'd waited roughly another six hours, they would have had to amputate due to necrotic tissue. When they finally cut it open, almost a liter and a half of puss came out (not an exaggeration. The cup had measuring lines on it). Even with two shots of painkillers, it hurt like hell. Couldn't walk right for two months after.

I also got hit by a car as a child and that shattered my skull, but the accident als gave me retrograde amnesia, so I don't remember the pain or much of anything before that point, so I don't know if that counts. Technically, I must have felt the pain as evidenced by the photos taken at the scene. On the other hand, I have no idea what it felt like, fortunately.

Sciatica and Pelvic girdle/SPD all in one.

I wouldn't mind but it lasted for 6 goddamn months of 24/7 pain that required crutches and physio.

It finally ended with pushing a 6lb human out.

I went out to eat ramen for the first time with friends.

Then, at 2 in the morning, I woke up with excruciating pain in my gut. Like, rolling around on the bathroom floor groaning in pain for two hours kind of pain. I almost tried to induce vomiting, that's how much it hurt. I almost wished that I would just fall unconscious or die just so that it would end. Most agonizing 2 hours of my life.

>_< It was so bad that I have never touched ramen again since then. Even though it's probably just the cooks who !@#$ed something up, I am so scared of a repeat event that I don't think I'll ever have ramen again.

...I'll just stick to the instant noodle variety instead. I know that kind won't try to kill me.

I fell down half a flight of stairs, and broke my ankle in two places. The ankle bent to where I ended up sitting on the outside of my foot. They used eight screws, two bolts, and a metal plate to put it back together.

The initial breaking, however, wasn't the worst pain. The ER gave me serious pain meds and crutches, which I had never used before. Then, after the pain meds had worn off, they told me to go home, using crutches. Because of this I ended up falling and landing with my full weight on the broken ankle. OH MY GOD. It hurt so much worse than the initial breaking. It was horrible. Bad enough that I didn't use crutches once during my entire recovery. I used a wheelchair for the first few weeks while my pain meds were to strong for me to really function, and then I used a walker. I will never use crutches, ever.
ouch, that happened to a woman I knew. That same damn thing. She actually re-broke it and said it was the most impossibly excruciating thing she'd ever experienced. She ended up developing an alcohol problem because of the whole ordeal.

OT: broken femur. I've got a genetic condition that causes me to be in pain constantly, so I have a very high pain tolerance, but damn did that ever stand out in my mind. I imagine that having my finger crushed in a bailer might have been equally as bad, but I don't remember the pain, having passed out immediately. Apparently I had very low blood sugar at the time because I hadn't eaten in like forever and the physical shock of the trauma caused my body to shut down briefly. Oddly enough, my finger looks normal now, so I guess I'm lucky in that regard. The only weird part is that there are no working pain receptors left in the nail bed, so I could rip off the fingernail and it wouldn't even hurt.

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, so that. It has the hilarious nickname of "Suicide Disease" and it is a barrel of laughs I can tell you :/

Smashed my coccyx against one of these fancy office chairs, effectively scarring me for life. It didn't feel very nice at the time either, nor did the three following weeks of me being unable to sit down.

Made a nice, deep scar that's incapable of healing itself, making me bleed all the time from my back as I lose feeling in my waist when I sit down on something too long/hard but that Isn't even the fun part.

It also offset two kinds of scoliosis, making my spine too straight (which is clinically dangerous) and slightly bent to the left, crippling my ability to move every time I stay still for a couple of hours say like, trying to sleep do physical activities along with excruciating pain every time I try to breath thanks to the muscles in my back stiffening up for dear life which they've been doing for the past 10 years or so now.

I suppose the memory of pain fades with time.

I have had my appendix burst,
Fallen off a excavator and smashed my back on the tracks (180 fall down from the cab)
Busted my head open in a fight (don't ever head but a guy that is trying to head but you at the same time)
Broken all my fingers at once when a car boot was slammed on them by accident when I was a child
Put a screw driver through my ankle
Stood on a nail that went straight through my foot
Knelt on a pin that went under my knee cap for its full length (I am now told that I will have arthritis by the time I am 35)
Had meningitis with the associated spinal tap
Put fencing wire straight through my hand
I have had concrete burns (they did hurt)

but since all the above happened over years they do not seem as bad.

Right now I have 2 broken ribs. Its painful when I cough, hiccup, laugh or take a deep breath but there is not much I can do (you can't put a cast on or anything) and it is not as bad as it sounds. But since it is happening right now you could say its the worst pain ever.

So in full the worst pain you have ever felt is the one you are feeling right now.

My most recent would have been standing on a screw that went a fair bit into my foot. When I was about 8 I had a red hot clothes iron pressed into my face, (stupid accident). My worst one though was when I was around 7. I was over at the house of a guy I used to be friends with and I was on his swings, which were stood in a bed of gravel. Not the fine gravel that's made up of loads of tiny pieces and is more like sand, but big jagged pieces about the size of the palm an adult man's hand, let's say around 6cm long. Anyway, we were swinging away and it was at this point that the other child's dad decided to wet us with the power hose with which he had been cleaning his car. I got a full force blast of it and was thrown onto the gravel, which promptly split my head open. Imagine someone using a butterknife to pick a hole in your head and then sticking a chainsaw into said hole and turning it on, that's what it felt like. The back of my head is still misshapen from that particular incident.

Like literally snapped in half? How the hell do you fix that? o_O
They put a pin in
