Biggest pain you've ever felt?

[renegade7]

Okay well, as I'm sure many of you know, men have a pair of these things known as 'testicles'. These are connected to the body by a pair of cords (I forgot the medical term). In a perfect storm of nasty circumstances, often brought about by an odd sleeping position or shifting about in awkward ways while asleep (lying face down, moving legs around, etc.), these two cords can tie themselves into a knot.

Think of a mixture of the worst food poisoning you've ever had mixed with the sensation that your balls are inflating like balloons and being ripped off. Had to have surgery to have the 'knot' undone.

My friend and I were playing lightning at a birthday party. He shot and missed so I kicked his ball across the court, he retaliated by pushing me into a wall. I broke my wrist. Worst pain I've ever had. We were snowed in too (Stupid Northern Minnesota) so I wasn't able to see a doctor almost two whole days later.

Was shot in my arm during a hunting trip when I was 16. That was intense but didn't really hurt right there and then but it was so gruesome looking that I passed out.

Had a nail go right through my foot

Broke my ankle but the cast hurt more than anything.

And getting hit in the forehead by a baseball bat.

Damn. What's the story behind the baseball bat?

I used to have migraines and have cracked my wrist, but the most powerful pain I have ever had was when I was quite young, around 10 I think. My family and I were at the beach, and I got stung by a blue-bottle in the water. I screamed so loud my parents a good 50 meters up the relatively crowded beach heard me loud and clear. I was given a chocolate, a peppermint crisp, but I could only eat the thing about 30 minutes after I was out the water. The ***** had wrapped those blue tentacles all the way around my leg (twice), under my knee and some of it on the under-side of my thigh. There was a piece that got stuck on my toe, but by the time I stopped screaming from the pain in my leg I forgot it was there, I only noticed because I saw that there was another one of those awful burn-marks where the life-guard had peeled blue-death off my foot.

I fucking hate blue-bottles.

My cousin and I were playing catch with the dog and we wanted the ball to go really far, so we decided to hit it with the baseball bat. All was going well but at one point I was next to my cousin talking and he must not have heard me and he took another swing and boom, lights out. I woke up with gash on my forehead that bled like crazy.

I had one nasty headache for the rest of the day and for the rest of the week my head was just sore. Good thing it was a wood bad and not metal.

 

[Headsprouter]

Foot cramps are a painful *****. Aside from that the only thing I can think of might be falling down the stairs and skinning most of my left shin, but that was forever ago so I don't remember it that well.

Not as bad as the other stuff, here, definetely, but I have to agree, those are debilitating for the short period they last, I need to stop everything i'm doing and writhe in pain for a while. Until it fixes itself after about 12 seconds.

The worst pain I can remember had me on Caolin and Morphine solution, which tasted great, by the way, like chalky aniseed.
It was faecal impaction, lack the pain of constipation, but your stomach is stretched by a solid mass of....faecal matter.
Very sore for a very long time.

EDIT: Speaking of pain, I've seen a lot of people talking about how they cry or don't cry in pain.

I murmur softly to myself. Creepy, right? But in the case of my faecal impaction, since the pain is a lengthy, crippling stomach cramp, I hunch over making noises I can only describe as like when you stretch.

 

[Vryyk]

A burst eardrum. A line blew near my head and the noise was so intense it burst. I laid on the ground for a good ten minutes holding my head. Balance gone, double vision. Never again.

Damn, I've had that come close to happening from firing high-caliber weapons without ear protection, it's no fun at all How do they treat that?

I got pain pills and weekly check ups for signs of infection. They told me if it had been worse there was the option for surgical repair. I can't speak for yours though, the largest caliber I've fired is .270 Winchester.

My eardrum didn't actually burst, it just came close a couple times from repeatedly shooting a 7.62x54R in an enclosed space. I was partially deaf for about three days.

 

[PrinceBuffoon]

A German Shepherd bit my hand a couple years ago. That wasn't very fun lol.

 

[lettucethesallad]

I sprained both my knees while skiing once when I was 14. I couldn't even stand, people had to carry me around before I was given some crutches, and I hopped on them (and had my knees bandaged) for 3 months after. They're still not the same, 9 years later.

I also get migraines on a regular basis when I'm stressed. Imagine having the pain of a million needles stuck into your brain every time you make even the smallest motion. I end up lying completely still in a dark room, not moving a muscle, trying to sleep to escape it, all while the pain's enough to make me cry. Migraines suck.

EDIT: Ooh, last spring I had an ear infection that rendered me deaf on my left ear for 3 weeks. The first week was hell, the pain was vile, and eventually my eardrum ruptured. Worst. Pain. Ever.

 

[Madman123456]

I had this Infection of my inner Ear and my Jaw. I didn't like it.

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.

Okay, this interests me, how did this happen?

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

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

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 -_-

Out of every single injury i've ever had (and there have been a few) no pain has ever come close to standing on a UK 3 prong plug socket bare foot....

Though this is a close runner up mind.

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.

 

[spartan231490]

I'm allergic to penicillin so I had to use a different painkiller when I broke my collarbone.

Every drop that entered my veins hurt. Imagine a constant pain that you can't scratch that lasted for hours throughout the night.

Fuck, it hurt.

First point of contention. Penicillin is an antibotic, not a painkiller.
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.

 

[Mauso88]

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.

 

[Berithil]

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*

 

[RedDeadFred]

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).

 

[MetalMagpie]

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!"

 

[esperandote]

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!
