Poll: Which hurts more?

[101flyboy]

Deep blunt trauma I would assume is the most painful, but luckily I have no personal experience in knowing that as fact.

 

[Kwaren]

I chose chemical burns. I turned a can of "canned air" upside down over my arm and sprayed for about 30 seconds. I had a 2 inch chemical burn on my arm for the rest of the summer. I still have the scar 8 years later.

YOU DON'T HAVE CONCUSSIONS/CONTUSIONS/DISLOCATION ON THERE!!!

Explanation: I have had multiple seizures & have had concussions AND contusions (deep bruises), the contusions being to my right or left shoulder. As a result, they both freakin DISLOCATE! That is the worst pain ever. I can't move for the duration of the dislocation of my shoulder, and when it's over, I can't move that arm for awhile. When I can move it, I can't lift it above my head, and I see spots. I have had physical therapy, and I almost had surgery. According to my orthopaedic surgeon (yep T_T) I had a torn labrum. It's near the center of the rotator cuff. And my shoulders actually dislocate in my sleep & even when I stretch too far!

It takes 5-10 minutes for my shoulder to go back in place; sometimes it goes in wrong & I'm all "poppy". AND IT HURTS!!

Burns.. Burns are by far the most painful..

 

[Dfskelleton]

Burning. I usually can take pain, even though I think it's going to hurt more that it actually does. I guess I'm tougher than I know, but burns *shudder* that's always been a problem with me. I guess it means I'm more careful with fire, so it doesn't happen often.

 

[Rascarin]

In terms of long-term pain, I find burns the worst. Chemical or heat, they're both bad. I remember having a horrific reaction to hair remover once (on my bikini area), and the pain where my clothes chafed was almost unbearable.

Reading instructions and/or doing a test patch first is awesome...

I always follow the instructions, and it was a remover I'd used several times before and since with absolutely no problem. It wasn't even a new bottle - it just went bad that one time.

 

[higgs20]

I cracked my head open...twice that was more scary than painful (there was a lot of blood pouring from a place I would rather it stayed in.) but i've got a couple of bad burns, both from steam and fire and they hurt in ways I couldn't even describe.

 

[Hashime]

Well, out of that list I have experienced... all of them. Including one you did not list, spice overload.
The most painful on my list is eating 1 000 000 scoville unit hot sauce without much previous tolerance. followed by breaking my ankle (post camping way up north, no pain meds in the first aid kit, had to 'hike' then canoe out), nitric acid burns (left hand, someone did not remove their glove opening a door), getting a filling drilled without freezing (it costs $80), and a burn of my hand from my high-temp glove failing.

Thing that do not hurt anymore (thanks to these experiences) : Cuts, even with stitches they are not painful, minor burns, the many number of times I have been "Crushed" in football (mostly fingers), and scrapes.

Just a note, my left hand has been burned by acid, heat, heat again, had a nail through it, been crushed in football, been scraped to hell (I always wear gloves riding now), been cut to the bone (3 stitches, cut pain nerve, but is healing) and has been blunt forced more times than I can remember (football again). I am also left handed.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I went to all of those except crushing (I reckon you mean crushing so bad it breaks bones into little pieces), and out of those severe spraining hurt the worst. Unlike a broken bone, that just keeps on hurting and hurting. Like burns, though I've never been too bothered about them. Maybe I just need to be burned a lot worse...yeah I'd rather not find out.

 

[Hashime]

Burning has to be the most painful. I've experienced Freezer burn via Liquid Nitrogen treatments for my hands when i was only 7-9. Twice a week for 2 years, i had 24 warts on my hands systematically frozen off with LN. The pain is something similar to sticking a cigar there and smashing the wound with a hammer. All the fingernails on both hands fell off and my right hand was rendered useless for a year because of this stuff. Burning is the worst thing in the world, something I wish on nobody.

How did you manage that? Liquid N2 is harmless unless you dunk your hand inside the dewar flask. Brief contact, such as wart treatment, should have been completely painless.
While we're on topic, acid burns are no fun either. I've got a nice scar on my left arm from boiling concentrated nitric acid, fresh out of the microwave...

Anyway, my broken ankle hurt like a *****. Imagine (if you are a guy) being kicked in the balls, except you experience that pain all over your foot. It also happens spontaneously, even if you haven't done anything.

Nitric burns are not fun. How long were you a simpson for?

 

[gamemeister27]

Ahem....FUCK BURNS

I've actually gotten used to them because I'm such a little pyro (it's in mah naycha), but I have hurt myself severely in almost all of the mentioned above categories.

It is the only type of injury I have sustained (this includes broken bones, really deep cuts, shocks, etc...) that hurts JUST AS MUCH while it heals as when it happened. I have no idea why, but until I got rather used to it, it was terrible.

 

[C95J]

Having experienced next to none of the options on the list, I just guessed

I voted for Burns: Electrical/Chemical for some reason it stood out from the rest for me.

 

[moretimethansense]

being poked, I'm sereous if someone punches me it barley hurts, if someone pokes me the pain can nearly make me double over, the only thing that (to me) compares is a static shock to the tip of your finger, that or blunt force trauma applied to the genitals.

 

[Jader7777]

Where do bee stings fit in all of this?

 

[crazypsyko666]

I've had all of them. Nothing hurts more than fire.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

In the healing process? Definitely blunt force bone trauma.
I mean, seriously. Think about it. Even the worst burns scab over and stop hurting all the time. Broken bones hurt like a ***** if you so much as budge them slightly.

Shortly after getting them, though, definitely electrical or chemical burns.
It just eats away at your flesh. Have you seen those gnarled-ass scars? Ow.

Is that a colloquial term for the yellow skin that follows the blisters? Sorry, I've never heard of it before.
Anyway, I had a blister for a few days, which was followed by a patch of brown skin that never really healed. I guess hot (it was boiling) nitric acid leaves deeper injuries. On the plus side, it wasn't really a painful experience, kinda like a bee sting.

 

[SturmDolch]

The most painful thing that happened to me was breaking off a small piece of knee/femur bone. I was drunk, at a club, and jumping up and down. I'm not even sure what happened, but first dancing, then on the floor in pain.

Yes it is. Damn though, more minor burns just make you yellow for a bit. Unlike sulphuric which just rips you apart. My father was running a bench autoclave at 255C when the pressure relief blew, it ate through his labcoat giving him a nice burn. Fortunately the coat took the majority of the damage.

do what I'm doing- learn how to write with your right hand. (I'm a righty, so I'm learning how to write with the left hand.)

firework burns hurt the most. I burnt my thumb last 4th of July.
