I was surfing , 14 years old , on a very stromy day. The waves were very large. I got up to go down the face of a wave but, i pulled off from it because there was a larger one behind it. The wave was too powerful it flipped me and knocked my foot onto my fin. My fin went through my ankle and did so with such force that it broke the bone. If it was 1 cm to the left it would of slashed my achielles. I had to hobble back to our beach club which was around a mile away. It hurt but i was in ok shape the sand getting in it made it worse. When i got to the doctors they said they have to clean it with basically what was a giant water gun. They blasted inside the wound to blow the seaweed and sand out. Now that was the worse pain i ever felt ! After they gave novacaine injections to dull the pain. It hurt months afterwards , so i went to doctors and i have nerve damage there. Its really weird though cause it will just hurt insanely much like 1 out of 100 days and the rest of the time it doesn't hurt at all or just feels cold. Funniest thing about the story the next day i wanted to go surfing again because i was on vacation and didnt want to waste it , so i duct taped a plastic bag around my foot so the stiches did'nt get wet ! Haha
A near-fatal case of Clostridium Difficile with Sepsis during a round of chemotherapy. In laymans terms, my intestines started to rot, my blood decided to join in the rot-fest and the chemotherapy wouldn't even let me recover until at least a month after it hit me.
Thanks NHS, you crazy bastards!

When I was in Primary school I was running in the play ground, then I tripped, thing is the playground was made up of concrete slabs, my face scraped across the floor, leaving only a trail of skin and blood behind me, I stood up with half my face torn up, and a broken nose, worse thing is, I didn't realise how much it hurt until I saw the blood EVERYWHERE. Never before have I felt something so painful in my life.
I haven't felt anything TOO painful, but my finger was sliced open by a rather large kitchen knife thanks to my brother. It didn't hurt as bad as one might think; all I had to do was run it under cold water until my mom took me to the hospital.
Well I have just found out I have 2 cysts the size of grapefruits inside of me along with another the size of a golf ball.
The doctor said 'How can you still walk around without fainting from the pain?'
I guess you get used to it over time...pretty scary. Although the pain has become worse recently ><

One word... Toothache. I can promise you now that there is no pain worse than that. It often feels like you've been hit in the face with a sledgehammer.
However, there is one pain that's probably on par with it. Split eye. You know when your lips dry out in cold weather and crack and the skin splits? Well imagine that happening to one of the most sensitive organs in your body, your eyeball. Trust me, it REALLY hurts when your eyes dry out and there's nothing you can do about it. (One of the side effects of having laser surgery to correct my vision)

Infected 2nd degree burns on 12% of my body (from knees to ankles).
I was unable to walk without feeling like my feet were dipped into molten lava. It happened on a week long rowing trip, so it was fun.

Well this one is rather specific and i will have to go into some rather detailed parts so if you're squeamish don't read further...
When i was about 15 i had an ingrown toenail that got removed 4 times, however every time it happened as my nail was growing back the wound hadn't healed, meaning its ingrown again. So i had one more operation to remove the nail AND the root so it wouldn't grow back. Which means removing the nail, and scraping the nail bed to stop it growing back. So i had this operation, and had to leave the bandage on for a week, as i'm sure you can deduce there would be a lot of blood, so the bandage was very thick and consisted of around 12 layers. So i went to the nurse at my local GP to have it removed, sadly i didn't know it was a trainee nurse. So anyway i went in and laid down while she started to undress it. As each layer went down until around the 6th it was getting stuck together, so she cut through it until it was about 2 layers left which was too stuck to move. Obviously i was "bricking it" and asked it to be soaked first. To which she got out a tiny sachet containing about 5 drops of water, she put that on and before she even took the empty sachet out her hand ripped it right off, a nail bed scraped to death and stuck with blood to a bandage....
Yeah that smarted a bit

Ripping my front two teeth clean out when i was younger (child teeth thank god) caused by face planting a stone fireplace.... ouch oh and ripping muscles in your stomach isn't fun either you have to stay curled up in a ball or else it kills!
oh and standing on a lego brick

Hmhmh... probably that time when I had an iron pin pulled out of my hand.
What happened was I broke my hand a month or so before. (I can recall the time between breaking it and it being healed) My right hand was fractured under the knuckle of my pinkie. But because I'm an asshat and wiggled around with my hand too much (trying to use it) it got worse so they had to put a pin in surgically to make sure it would heal properly.
When I went on a regular check-up at the hospital the doctor said "Ok, it's looking really good. We can pull it out now". So I thought he'd arrange another surgery or get me an anesthetic.
No. He grabbed some pliers and went to work. After normal pliers failed to keep hold of it (it was a bit wedged I guess, or w/e happens to pins in your body) so he got some special pliers that would grip it and pressure the thing out.
It felt like he put my hand in a big metal vice and just turned it shut slowly. Ow.
The weirdest pain I had though was when another doctor gave me some anesthetic in my mouth to treat an infection I got after removing all four of my wisdom teeth. When he stuck that needle in for a split-second I felt like every vein in my body was on fire. It was really bizar and painful. Only lasted for an instant though.

My throat when i had mono. My esophagus was so swollen occasionally it would whistle when breathed. inhaling hurt, exhaling hurt, breathing was like someone stabbing my thoat. i could eat solid food, trying once resulted in me passing out from pain. I had to take morphine before i ate so i didn't feel much of anything. I could drink but not much, and congestion caused more problems.
I dunno if it the worst pain i ever felt but it the one i remember the most vividly. Also it might have been because it lasted the longest. it wasn't like you burn your hand and after a couple of hours the pain dulls, it was just pain all the time for two months. according to my doctor i had a bad case...

Wouldnt say it was pain, but I was once sick for a day where I literally couldn't do anything. It was a mix of vomiting all the time (I counted 13, 14) and having diarrea.. It was pretty bad on the toilet..
As for injuries, I guess (but I cant remember the pain, tbh) when I was young, and I got my foot mixed into a fastly running bicycle wheel carrying quite a bit of weight. That's a bit of skin that came off :C

Fucking hell, nothing I could ever come up with would be on par with the shit you all have been through, fellow Escapians.
I'll have to say circumcision. I'm not Jewish and it wasn't for anything religion-related either, but it was recommended by my doctor when I was a kid to avoid infections (I still can't wrap my head around it, just mind you). Normally, you think they'd do that when the child is something like 2, 3, 4 years old. But I was frickin' 7 years old, and was old enough to create, record and remember memories of the excruciating pain in the cocker it was everytime my bandages were removed.
My captcha is "last straw". I don't know if it's mocking me.

Breaking bones hurts a lot. I once broke my arm, three fingers, two toes, and a rib all in one go (bike accident). I was also stabbed once, but that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but it was my leg so I'm sure my stomach would have been worse.
But what beats all of that was when my eardrum ruptured. I woke up in the middle of the night with the most horrible pain I'd ever felt. There was a weird pus and blood coming out and the pain was so intense that I was thinking that something crawled in there and was biting my eardrum or something. That horrible. I also broke the footboard on my bed by kicking through it in my fit of pain. Fucking horrible.

When I was 8 I had some sort of infection in that caused excruciating pain evey time I breathed.
As a fellow breather I'm sure you can understand how this could get quite annoying after a while.
Missed 3 weeks of school at the hospital.

I overdosed on my antidepressants, taking about... two months worth maybe in the space of 30 seconds. Oh boy. That hospital stay was fun.
