What is the most pain you've ever endured?

Cricket ball in the knackerbag.

I puked. couldn't walk for a good half hour after it.

sack swelled up like a mango after it, had them checked, no testicle rupture somehow.

It was 20 years ago now. I still get a sick feeling in my stomach even thinking about it.

Before Christmas I was relaying floor boards on suspended joists in a downstairs room. I was putting insulation between the joists and I had to navigate through the room by standing on the joists. It is a 3 foot drop to to the earth below.

Anyway took my eye off the ball and missed a joist and went straight down but I fell sideways and the entire length of my outer thigh took the initial blow and scraped all the way up to my hip until I hit the ground below. Thankfully I had removed all the nails beforehand otherwise it would have been a hospital job plus I was on my own in the house.

I actually jumped out ran upstairs threw myself on the bed and just roared into the duvet. Got the sweats and to wait for natural painkillers to kick in. It swelled up and the entire weekend was a write off...could not bend my leg, get dressed, drive or walk or sleep.

It was basically the worst dead leg imaginable which lingered for days. Could not sleep properly for 2 weeks as lying on either side was torture. Of course it went through every colour in the rainbow.

In 40 years on this planet I cannot think of going through worse pain in all my life (never broken a bone I should add).

So intense - I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy!

I had the same . It was like someone using a screw driver into the jaw and driving it up into the brain. . I cried all night until the dentist opened . The merciful relief when she put the pack in was heavenly

In all the horror stories here the ones about the injections into the eyeballs actually made the hair stand on my arms .

Speaking of kidney stones my father in law (70) was hospital this Monday for a procedure. Under a general they put a stent into this tubes to widen it and to allow it pass out naturally. He had to be kept in overnight as he was pissing blood and now just waits.

Jesus....I was nearly crying for him and the thought of how they put in the stent- up the penis....I could cry now thinking about it.

Not had it put in awake - had it taken out awake and was no issue really although I was briking it - they shove about 18 inches of a yoke down your flute, has a magnet on the end - fiddle around until you hear a click - then just pull - he fairly yanked it too - didnt hurt really tho.

Think of starting a chainsaw at half speed

A personal relationship breakup. Physical pain I experienced are trivial in comparison.


Edit: Squimy pain. As a teenager I put my knee out. I had to put it back in myself by pushing it back the right way. Came out in a cold sweat. Happened to me randomly twice. Never put my legs in odd positions since.

I was in terrible pain when my appendix burst at age 7/8. Just so happened my parents weren't in the house at the time as they were a couple of miles away putting the finishing touches to your new house. I had to run to them in pain down the road where they brought me to the hospital when I eventually reached them.

I broke a rib once...on a night out. This was excruciating. I couldn't budge without feeling the pain from it the next morning. I couldn't get out of bed or reach for the phone to call for help without feeling terrible physical pain. Sitting in A&E for over an hour was one of the most physiologically challenging torture I'd ever experienced. I couldn't breath for the pain it induced.

You should try it some time.

Its even more fun when they then clamp the eyelid back so they can work on the inside of it. The clamp sits on your face, to hold it open.

Watching a scalpel hover less than 1mm above your eyeball whilst being able to very slightly feel them cutting at the inside of your eyelid is, to put it mildly, not fun.

Then, at the end, they have to clean/sterilize everything so they spray antiseptic all over, and give your eyeball a wipe. Yes, they wipe it. The actual eyeball.

But the actual needles at the beginning are the worst. The pain is indescribable.

:eek: Stop.

I was just eating my breakfast when I read this. Thanks
