What is the most painful thing you have ever experienced?

[Hitro]

Emotionally the lost of relatives.

Physically the worst was a moment within the process of removing my wisdom teeth. The dentist started digging the first one out of the Jaw-bone but unfortunately for me he hadn't properly deafened (is that the correct word?) the nerves there, so he practically attempted to pull a tooth out of the bone without any intoxication. I can assure you that it hurts like hell.

Well thank you very much for sharing that with us. I think you just ruined my apetite.

No problemo!

You mean "deadened," althought that's an awkward word. Use "numbed" instead.

Broke my tib/fib when I was seven skiing. I remember the pain, although the pain in the @$$ of having a full plaster cast on for 2 months was probably worse.

Women who have done both say it is more painful than childbirth. (Since I'm male, I couldn't say. All I can say is IT HURT!)

This is true from what I hear as well. The two most painful things for a man are passing a kidney stone and having a bladder obstruction. I've never seen someone so grateful for having a catheter!

Ecoli, damn does that ever hurt the gut.

Lets see what the most painfull thing I have ever experianced.

Getting cut accedentaly with a knife. What kind you ask, Ive been cut by a paper knife (The thing that separates paper pads), a pering knife, and also an open can lip. I also had my share of Papercuts.

Most painful thing?

That would be my back. I have a little thing called spondylolisthesis. My L-5 vertebra does not lock into the spinal process, so it has -shall we say- freedom of movement. It shifts around, pinching nerves in the process, and sometimes even bumping the spinal cord.

My friends, THAT is PAIN.

Usually, the pain is at a fairly constant, albeit tolerable, level. Occasionally, sometimes because I did something stupid and sometimes for no reason at all, the pain spikes to an amazingly high degree. Imagine pain radiating from your lower spine so intense it causes spasms in your abdominal muscles (making you retch uncontrollably) and leaves you without muscle control in your legs (as well as causing fiery pain to shoot down your sciatic nerves). Oh, and let's not forget causing your chest muscles to cramp up which leaves you gasping for breath at the same time you are retching.

If you can imagine that, then you know the most painful thing I have experienced.

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

A procedure that involved wiggling a large syringe into the middle of a big toe joint inflamed fully inflamed with gout (you know that stuff that can give you spasms of agony from the wieght of sheet on the foot) to get some fluid for a test. Just to make sure that I missed not of the anticipation, the Rhematologist, with a very strained look on his face, told me before he began:
"We used to use local anestesia for this procedure, but it never seemed to do any good"
Yeah, thanks for that, doc, a little smurfing more than I needed to know just then, a simple "this is going to hurt more than you can imagine" would have sufficed.
Evidently nothing short of a spinal block would do anything for that pain.

 

[Zarn]

It would have to be the classic 'get the fingers stuck in a van (or another vehicle) door.' That really hurts.

 

[tonberry]

Motorcycle accident. I've do a face-to-face with another one at 40mph. No real injuries but ouch!

No broken bones, but that thing hurt...

Oh i did the same thing about 4 months ago, i used to have a Chevy truck with those heavy doors that u don't want a finger in the way when they're closing, well my ring finger got in the way and the door closed all the way, i had to use the door handle to open it up, no broken bones though, although i was cussing like a sailor at the gas station lol

Local in the foot hurts like a b***h. I'd rather have liquid nitrogen applied to my foot directly (and have!)

 

[Cimbri]

The most painful thing I ever had to endure was the acting of Star Wars Episode II. Other than that I have never really been hurt at all, nothing physically I mean.
Emotionally the loss of a loved is the most painful thing in the world. Being unable to help at all, just watching a dear friend wither away and die…

Realizing that I left my newly bought Playboy on the train when I've already arrived at the hotel!

 

[Obssesed Nuker]

Sory for revival but...

Just a couple of days ago I got hit in the crouch with a incoming doge ball... OOOUUUCCCHHHH!. Even after the pain died down( in which I had too hobble too move without hurtin a thing) it still tingled a little

 

[Darkness]

Missing a turn whilst going down a mountain on my bike doing about 45 mph... Thank god there wasn't a buge fall. Maybe 10 feet and fortunately for me I ended up in on a patch of grassland instead of rocks. I didn't break a thing, but the next two weeks my back hurt like hell....

Having an operation to remove a cyst from the inside of my eyelid. Firstly the anaesthetic drops stung worse than a swarm of wasps, then watching them remove the cyst with a scalpel, I was so worried about sneezing and accidently impaling my eye/brain on the thing.

[Pillager]

Nothing very serious has yet befallen me, although at the age of 12 I got hit round the head with a baseball bat. That bloody hurt, and that's the only time I've ever fainted. At least that I can remember

Still, it taught me a valuable lesson; when playing as backstop, don't stand right behind the batter, or hitter, or whatever he's called.

Well, thats always a good thing to think about during an operation. Especially that one.

when i was little i was walking through my room and a block of wood with nail in it face up was lying on the floor and when i walked on it it went strait through my foot and out the other side

almost drowning. a big misconception is that it is painless. your lungs burn like they're on fire from the lack of oxygen.
