What is the most pain you've ever endured?

Childbirth for me but I never had any other operation/broken bone/ligament damage/stones (kidney or gall)

banie01 · 23-03-2019 04:30PM

I've had a wide range of painful incidents.
Tonsillectomy as an adult, followed by haemorrhage due to Luis Garcia ðŸ˜‰
Ruptured appendix removed and drain in for a few days.
Double pneumonia partially self inflicted

was very painful too!
Multiple broken bones of which the most recent was the most painful.
December 2017 I had a subluxed dislocation of my thumb with a volar plate fracture and torn ulnar and radial ligaments.
Simple things like turning a key became an endurance challenge.
Only had surgery to fuse the thumb in December and it's finally becoming less painful.

For all the lads on about a knee in the nuts...
A gentle flick is so much worse, it sneaks up and leaves you almost vomiting.

But the most intense physical pain I've ever had, Kidney Stones!

Got to 30 before I ever encountered pain that made me collapse!
I was literally having a pee, pain hit me and I blacked out!
Came to a bit later and picture a post goal knee slide with a knee either side of the jack's!
Me on my back still pissing all over myself and honestly incoherent from pain!

Gallstones. Definitely. Made childbirth with no pain relief seem like a walk in the park!

MeTheMan · 23-03-2019 04:34PM

The late late show. Ten minutes is all I could take.

Anaesthetic before a circumcision, 3 injections into the penis

I thought that gallstones pain was terrible... until I work up after getting the gall bladder out!

Turns out they had to abandon the keyhole surgery half way though and cut me open instead. Annoying thing was that not only did I now have a 12 inch wound. I also had 3 others where they had attempted the first operation!

13 months on and I am still not recovered....

Caught my finger in a blender and took a big flap of skin off in a spiral down to the first knuckle, that stung.

Waking up to the painkillers wearing off after getting two wisdom teeth out. Went to sleep all happy and loopy

But I've had period pain worse than both, spinning that roulette wheel every month does keep life exciting.

Had minor surgery on my eyelid last year. Had to get 2 injections into my eyelid / eyeball beforehand.

I roared in pain!

This. Have had the same multiple times. No one, and I mean no one, can explain the pain of having a needle inserted into ones eyelids. I say this having had multiple broken bones, dislocations etc - none of them come near to that level of pain.

Appendicitis. The initial pain was bad enough, got sick on the farm I was working on at the time. Then it got horrible so we drove up to Sligo General, got some morphine to quell it. I see the opioid appeal now

Operation went grand, but the opening got infected a week after leaving the hospital. This bit was the real pain. Consultant initially said they'd clean it out under general anesthetic, then changed his mind to local anesthetic.

The next morning he did neither, and effectively stabbed me. That hurt, you bastard.

biko · 23-03-2019 04:52PM

Had a kick in the balls once when play-fighting with a mate, was no joke how painful it was. I threw up and everything..

Cracked a tooth and exposed the nerve, couldn't even think straight for pain.

Lorelli! · 23-03-2019 04:54PM

Fortunately I havent had anything too bad. Breaking my wrist was quite sore. I fell on my way into work. When I got up, I immediately felt this huge surge of nausea. Went on into work and sat at my desk looking at it for about two hours without moving it and convincing myself that it was grand even though it was about three times the size of my other wrist

Also when your leg locks up/cramps. I remember the first time that happened me and I stupidly thought relaxing it was the best option.

Rmgblue · 23-03-2019 04:54PM

Dislocated Shoulder. Sore even thinking about it

shannonman81 · 23-03-2019 04:54PM

Spent nearly thirty years playing soccer as a goal keeper... Broken fingers cracked ribs broken wrists dislocated fingers broken nose.
I broke the top of my tibia where the ACL attaches and has to have a screw put in...
But none of this pain comes anywhere close to the kidney stone I got last year. The pain is on a different level to anything I had experienced before. I was physically sick from it (I thought that was a myth)
Morphine did nothing except make me want to get more sick.

They put a stent in and then I had six blasting sessions (which are fine)
Then they have to take the stent out...ðŸ˜³
Lie down and the nurse rubs a numbing cream into your bits(it does nothing)
Then the doctor goes up with a long tweezer thing and at one point he bursts through there sphincter of your bladder and pulls out the stent... While you watch it on camera (it is just a feeling of pure violation)

If you ever wonder are you drinking enough water... Your not!

Climbing a lampost as a young fella to hang out of the right angle part ( that was the dare at the time) then sliding back down, my feet slid either side of the wide part at the bottom that was meant to stop me and absolutely busting my rib cage off it, lay there for about 10mins roaring, before realising my Ma might hear me. Still get the heeby - jeebies thinking about it.

Coming off the anaesthetic after my brain surgery- sick as a dog

Rubberchikken · 23-03-2019 04:58PM

stepping on a piece of Lego.
also some posts on boards.. different type of pain but pain nevertheless

Beasty · 23-03-2019 04:58PM

I went all the way up to 11 once

Kick in the coccyx, ridiculous amount of pain despite its puny size. Also came down on the ankle at nearly 90 degrees. Two weeks on crutches.

Tina82 · 23-03-2019 05:00PM

Having a 9lb 13oz baby with no pain relief ... I was like the girl from the film the exorcist !!!

Dravokivich · 23-03-2019 05:02PM

Calf cramping and tightening itself against my fibula.

Fusitive · 23-03-2019 05:11PM

Compound ankle fracture. Both fib and tib broke, Was horribly painful when it happened, got more painful when I seen the angle and bone jutting out but the worst pain of it all was been carried into the office in school from the yard with my foot hanging in the air. It felt like someone was hanging an anvil off my ankle and yanking down on the already broken bones.

Having ankylosing spondylitis and all the wondrous f*cking predominantly spinal pain that entails. Especially when in a flare, like now :mad:

Rubberlegs · 23-03-2019 05:16PM

A dry socket after a wisdom tooth had to be broken in to pieces to remove it. I was awake so could see the worry in the dentists eyes as he couldn't get it out in one piece. I was absolutely fine after it but the next day the dry socket kicked in and it felt like I was being kicked in the face. The only thing that numbed it a bit was holding a mouthful of whiskey around it

. I have had 3 C sections and I'd have another before I'd suffer that again.

smilerf · 23-03-2019 05:16PM

A 5 cm bladder stone in 2008.
I used be on my knees crying

Dr Turk Turkelton · 23-03-2019 05:20PM

Kidney stone was a clear winner for me.

mad m · 23-03-2019 05:22PM

Ive suffered from kidney stones since my early 20’s. Every ten years or so I have to go into get blasted. The urology dept in James have a new scope that can bend around corners.

Got both kidneys done last year at different times. It’s a morning surgery out by 2-3pm. But when I got right kidney done it was the worst I’d experienced as I’d normally only have stones in left.

Wifey brought me home after right kidney was done, she said I was on floor sobbing with pain. I think I passed out, can vaguely remember it.

Zorya · 23-03-2019 05:29PM

I've good pain tolerance. Once had a stomach endoscope done with no sedation because I'd rocked up with no one to drive me home and I was in no mood for going back a second time.
One time after I gave birth, however - with no pain meds to a whopping 10 lb baba - the nurse told me I had also managed to give birth to an enormous pile, which would have to be immediately lanced. (Sorry lads, the romance of womanhood :rolleyes:.) Because it was so huge I could not be given an injection for pain relief - no room! - and so straight after they rolled the baba off with Himself to the nursery they laid me on my side and lanced this yoke with no anaesthesia. I had been quiet enough while giving birth but I fcuking roared the hospital down while they did that and the bed looked like they had gutted an animal after they were finished. Anyways, there ye go, enjoy yer tea.
