Worst physical pain you've experienced?

i'm 21 and i haven't been hurt too bad! never broke any bones or been in serious pain
so i can't really say, what about you guy's?

sgarvan

the worst pain that i have felt is when I was playin football, and fell and broke my ankle then tried to get up and run and put the ball in the net.

Mushy

Never broken a bone or anything like so it has to be: football in the groin on Monday night. Or any time it happens. Its just so ridiculously sore.

Definitely dislocating my ankle the first time. But it's hurt less and less every time since!

I damaged my kidneys when I was 6.... Was in hospital for a week but the first day was excruciating.... Was rolling around in the bed in agony...

2nd most painful thing was a dental abscess... Followed closely by period pain...

Thankfully I'v also never broken a bone or suffered a serious illness but I'm sure there is far worse pain than the above...

Broke my arm before, but that was nothing next to being hospitalised with a kidney and bladder infection. It's difficult to compare pain most of the time, but I definitely think that tops my agony list regardless.

Yeah I had that for 4 months last year :eek:

You really dont worry about much else when all you want to do is pee without losing blood :cool:

I have broken my left arm and right leg. Both of them pretty horrendous, the leg probably hurt more because i tried to put weight on it a few times before going in to cast, which was unavoidable really. I once had an ingrown toenail which was excruciating before i had the operation but was actually worse for a couple of days after. It is hard to compare pain though, most people always think that the pain they are feeling for the now is the worst they have felt.

Try a kidney stone. Or 3.

Pain is so bad you literally can't even think about anything else.

GAAman

Got my calf muscle ripped outta place and pushed round to the front of my shin. Was in that much pain i was literally seein red!

Only thing im ragin about was none of the lads took a picture cos it was agony but looked really cool at the same time!!

child birth

fuzzywiggle

The pain I experienced before I got my appendix out! It was about to burst! Ow!

Quackles

1. Childbirth
2. A particularly vicious bout of tonsilitis I had in 1st year in college.

Ah, the memories.

Funsterdelux

Braking my wrist playing Gaa Football, on the Saturday nite before my leaving cert, didnt know it was broken until the Tuesday, was in pain though on the Sunday and didnt sleep for a few nites
Smashed my face on the road, after my bike fell from under me, although it wasnt too painful, it was the thoughts of what I could have broken/mangled that was worse, broke me front tooth thats all.

You had to pass em through I take it? Fairplay to you, man. That's our childbirth.

This time last year I had a Cellulitis infection in my left leg/ankle (no not cellulite :rolleyes: ). Wiki it if you dunno what it is.

Woke up one morning, felt like complete sh*t, all the muscles in my body were screeming in agony. My skin became 50 times more sensitive to the point where I accidentally brushed my elbow off the door handle to the kitchen and it felt like getting a kick in the balls. IN MY ELBOW!!!!

Couldn't sleep for 3 days as there was no such thing as a comfortable position to lay in. Got rushed to AE as the infection was spreading up my leg to beyond my knee. The skin and muscle thing only lasted the first day, but my leg was fu**ed for the next 2 months. Still not quite right tbh....
There is a history of arthritis in my family. If ever I get it, that's where it'll start. Balls...

petes

Getting kicked in the nuts.

Creamy Goodness

i remember getting chicken pox when i was like 12, it sucked so bad the itch was so painful.

i broke my finger before, but i had walked around all day without knowing i had broken my finger.

they are the two i can remember most.

Goodshape

I fell off my bike once.. grazed my knee... didn't cry or nothing!

<-- Well hard!


(I'm probably tempting fate with that. I've been lucky in the whole pain experience thing so far)

Ive had that happen to me too. Its really sore but really cool to look at too.

Ive never broken a bone but the most painful thing I have ever experienced was when I woke up from an operation I had in which I had 2 procedures carried out. All I can say is thank god for morphine

Skittlebrau

Broke my collar bone when I was about 16. Pretty sore it itself but the worst part was when they had to set the bone. It had broken in half and overlapped on itself so they had to pull it apart. A nurse stood behind me, grabbed each shoulder, put her knee in my back and pulled. I screamed. Then they wrapped a figure 8 type sling thing around my shoulders to keep it in place.
They said that if it had gone another inch or so I would have needed an operation to set it. I wished it had.

Same, except unfortunately when I did it I split my knee open....

Other then that, I've been really lucky! Well actually I was assaulted by a complete knacker one night though in town after a night out (for no reason whatsoever, he literally tapped me on the shoulder and headbutted me me when I turned around) and I hit my face on the kerb after firstly receiving the headbutt, frankly I'm surprised that there was virtually no damage done, I got really lucky, even though it was really painful.

PS - There as a happy end to that story though resulting in multiple fists to said knackers face, so in a way I actually felt good going home thinking "Ah some scumbag got what he deserved".

Child birth....I was used as the punchbag

youthacademy

stitches on my eye, hurling match was pretty bad. from reading this child birth and kidney stones sound fcukin horrible. touch wood about the latter!

Sliothar in the balls FTW.

Kimbot

Worst pain i felt......

I had my lungs collapse on a number of occassions about 7 years ago!! I thought that was painful until I got to the hospital, got into A&E and within 2 minutes I was put on an operating table (makeshift one) and cut open before they put any pain killer into me!! Then to make it worse cos it was the first time tallaght hospital had students in to see this happen they all got 2 fingers (About 9 - 10 students) and all together lodged their fingers in the cut in my chest to poke in between my ribs!!! Man that really hurt!!

I have passed out from cramps before, people thought it very strange but some women will agree with me here it happens,

My junior cert business studies exam , tried to explain as i get very weak so I get some warning that i'm gonna collaspe but they wouldnt let me leave I got weaker and weaker till i collapsed, wasnt funny at all

EWheelChair

I dunno but reading a couple of your posts is up there anyway.

Same here, though I did get a week off school after the operation - was supposed to be studying for my christmas exams but I just ended up playing too many games! Luckily the only thing I remember from the operation was the doctor jamming a humungous syringe into my foot - I stopped looking after that

Then I started getting ingrown toenails on my other toe... :mad:

I also went over the handlebars of my BMX when I was about 7 - head first into a tarmac road of course! I was told if I was a few years older I would have broke my nose. Also my front baby teeth came out a lot quicker than most kids...

Pugsley

Ingown toe nails are vastly over rated, have had one pretty much constantly for about 2 and a half year nows, had 3 at one point (2 on the same toe), they arent that sore if you just ignore them and let them grow out

Never had a single horrable bout of pain (proke my collar bone twice in the same place on 2 different occassions but that wasnt too bad), but I got bronchitis 3 times within 5 months on each other, that was pretty damn harsh lungs simply didnt work for about a week each time, and on top of that you also feel like you have a real bad flu (just recovering from a 4th term of bronchitis a few days ago).

zilog_jones

You obviously hadn't had proper ingrown toenails! I dunno how mine could ever "grow out" besides coming out the wrong side of my foot (which would take a while!) - they start going all pussy, then the skin/flesh above it starts bulging out which invariably starts bleeding - sometimes i just feel it'd be better off just cutting off my toe alltogether.

My broken thumb and stiches in my head were nothing compared to ingrown toenails!

Salmon

Sorry folks, Kidney stones have to be the mother of all physical pains!! Excruciating!!!

Dooom

I got turned into a newt!

Zascar

I've never ha anythign really bad, broke my arm when I was about 11, thats about it.

A friend of mine however had to go to the urologist to get a test for STD's. The doctor stuck a huge needle straight sown his japs eye - said the pain was unimmaginable, he's a grown man and he was crying. I never want to find out for myself...

jobonar

played football 1 saturday afternoon and i wasnt feeling great... about half way through the second half a turned awkwardly and some how strained a stomach muscle! that night i started to get sick and tore the muscle! spent the next 2 days getting sick and everytime i got sick i nearly collapsed with the pain!

took about 6 weeks for it to heal enough that it didnt hurt any more! took another few weeks to heal completely! worst pain i've ever felt! horrible!

That happened to me in first year in secondry school... My vision went blurry and my friend told me I'd gone white as a sheet and the next thing I remember was sitting out in the corridor on a chair with 2 teachers beside me... Then I was sent home and was crippled in pain for the rest of the day.. Fcukin horrible..

Thank the Lord for diamorphine!

Just remembered a few more.

Playing football on an all weather pitch. Was tripped and and couldn't get my hands down on time. So scraped the side of my face on the pebbles. That was sore.

Another time leaving a nightclub. Was giving a girl a piggyback. The road was sloped. Keeled over with no hands to stop my face bouncing of the ground. I got up and my nose was bleeding heavily. All I did was kept asking the girl was she okay. Of course she was. I broke her fall. Ended up in casualty and was lucky I didn't break my nose. I still think its a bit out of place.

That sliothar has nothing on my size 6's my friend... Keep it up!

spacecoyote

got a bit of a couble wammie. Was getting Root Canal treatment done. Unfortunately by a student dentist over form England. Anyway, the anaesthetic wouldn't work after her third time administering so i just said it did and let her drill up through the root of my tooth (excrutiating). Following said drilling the root was filled by the aforementioned trainee dentist, but not properly, leaving a pocket of air which got infected. this resulted in an abcess, which didn't come to a head (literally) but instead spread the infection into my face. My face swoll up like a balloon and i spent the next couple of days being called "planet of the apes" by my sympathetic family!

Is this you and your size six's? With PMS pains?

Ruu_Old

Probably when a 1 1/2" staple went through my hand (plenty of lads I know end up doing it to themselves, but someone else done it to me!), only hurt for a second but it went right through my hand between two knuckle bones and missed the bones, for that I was glad. Toughest lad to go through casualty, they said when it was removed.

WhiteWashMan

let see. i play hockey and ive sprained and fractured both of my thumbs, both of my big toes, and i have hundreds of astr turf burns across knees, elbows and especially knuckles.
ive been hit by a hockey ball in the dangly bits, in the head, in the... well, every part of my basically, over the years.
ive also broken my nose playing cricket, had whiplash from being in a car crash, and suffered from some serious sunburn in my time.
i have suffered heart ache and heart break.

but the worse, and i mean the worse pain that i have ever had in my entire life, the pain that has driven me around the twist and that has made me want to smash myhead against a wall until it stops, the pain that drives through your head until there is nothing else in there, has been when one of my teeth split right down the middle.

i think tooth ache is probably up there in the top 2 of worse pains in the entire world that you can possibly be afflicted with.
second only to listening to madonna songs.

I hear that WWM, I had a bad teeth based episode (and a sh*te dentist to really rub it in) and punching myself in the jaw actually eased the pain. And it looked quite amusing I would imagine as well.

Hmm...When I played basketball,I once jumped to make a shot and some huge girl jumped into me while I was in mid-air. So as I landed,I came down on the side of my foot,and then I slid and my foot sort of turned over so that the other side of it ended up on the ground (if ya get me!).

Anyway,a few ligaments were torn and I haven't played since.
