Ever had a shattered sternum. Yah, fucking sucks dude. I had to keep my back perfectly straight for it to heal and to avoid pain. I had to do that for 8 months till it healed. Needless to say my back hurt intensely every day. Also any muscle twitch in the torso, and from the fact I had to keep my back perfectly straight didn't help, it would send shockwaves of pain through my chest.CannibalRobots said:
Electrical burns are nasty to look at but not the worse i'd say. (i have had one, it was small on my hand, barley felt anything)
The worst type of wound is a tearing wound (at least it will bleed the most and take longest to heal). Something like having a rough grit metal file dragged across your arm.
i'd say the puncture wounds. I've had mutltiple punctures to the bone, and nothing i've experienced has matched that pain.
Why are people picking scrapes? Oh yeah, we're on a gaming forum, so occasionally you run across someone who's never done anything besides walk from the house to the school bus. I picked chemical burns, mostly because i feel like with blunt force trauma you'd go into shock at some point.
Holy crap it's TheNamlessGuy (you have no idea how pathetically long that took to type, I kept trying to put spaces between each bit). I haven't seen you around in ages!TheNamlessGuy said:
OT: The worst kind of pain, in my limited experience, are decay pains (tooth-aches, burns, appendicitus, etc (I have no idea how to spell it, stop judging my not-perfect spelling ability you horrible, wonderful people who are completely able to hear (see?) sarcasm through text)). They aren't like a cut or something that gets ignored or fades off, they either get progressively worse, or have the unfortunate property of being a pulsating, sharp ache (you know the type, where it is an ache but whenever you get close to blocking it out it's like it decided to get itself stabbed, jsut for shiggles) or both.
Well, scrapes can be anything from a skinned knee to road rash. I wanted to leave the categories a little open for interpretation. (You can kill a man through scrapes, terrible way to go, drag a man by a horse for instance)I fell out of a pick-up truck once when I was a kid that was moving along the road at 20-25 miles an hour. I was leaning against the door, seat belt on then *pop* I fell clear out. In such a manner that my arms went first onto asphalt. I guess the seat belt slid open because the brakes weren't depressed at the time. Anyhow even at that relatively low speed that smarted a bit. Luckily in those days that part of town wasn't developed. Now a days I'd have met with sidewalk or traffic the way I rolled out. Back then I met with dirt, sage brush and olive trees.templargunman said:
I contemplated it then figured a little ambiguity would entice people to poke their noses around in here. There's a full explanation above the options which I hoped would suffice. Frankly I'm just happy so many people voted in the poll and commented. I thought nobody would so I'm happy to see three pages. I think the numbers are interesting to look at. Wish again though I'd had space for Tearing. Tore a ligament in my hand once in a fight, punched a leg that was kicking at me. Didn't go well for my hand. Hurt for a long time. Happened earlier this year, still hurts sometimes. I couldn't make a fist for months.Nazz3 said:
Of those, burns, but only fairly bad heat burns. Chemical burns are hit-or-miss; some hurt, some don't (for a long time, I mean). Electrical burns don't hurt much at all (personal experience...) unless they get very extreme.
The most pain I've ever experienced was actually due to disease. Specifically, appendicitis. The runner up was my wisdom teeth, though not during the healing process; they caused a sharp bone pressure before removal that nearly drove me insane (seriously, I was frantically pacing the apartment the night before I got them removed, ceaselessly pacing for no reason, just because I wanted to run from something but had nothing to run from). After removing the teeth I was fine though; it hurt a little but I didn't even bother to fill the prescription for the pain killers the doctor gave me.

After blue bottle stings, a broken wrist and a cut on the bloody eye... I must say burns, they hurt like hell and the pain stays! Both kinds are bad, but I chose chemical simply from bad memories.
Really depends on the type of burn. 1st and 2nd degree burns are gonna hurt a lot, but you're not gonna feel 3rd Degree burns after the damage is done....well, you won't feel it until your nerves grow back.
I'd say breaking a major bone like the femur. You wouldn't even be able to move the leg without feeling a sharp pain and the broken bone could cause even more trouble if it breaks the wrong thing.

Burns.
Unless they are 3rd degree burns, in which case your nerves have been burned off and you no longer feel anything. But 1st are annoying because they hurt whenever you touch the afflicted area, 2nd are painful because they are always hurting all the time...
Radiation burns are the worst though. All your internal organs get liquified and turn green and you start throwing them up. It also hurts. It hurts a lot.
If you couldn't tell that was a joke, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I GOT YOU GOOD.
