    My old dentist gave me a filling without anastetic, when I was 9. that was worse than breaking my arm or tearing a ligament.

    Jesus, do we have to same dentist or something? That happened to me too ages ago. I must have been about the same age. Now I can't even hear a normal drill without getting that shiver thing.

    Apart from that I'm pretty much the same as fade_to_grey, never broken a bone, never did any serious muscle or ligament damage, never even had to get stitches. But believe me they're all on top of my to do list. Along with get a bad hangover (which I never seem to get no matter how much I drink and how badly smashed I get teh night before. A dry mouth is pretty much the extent of it usually)

    The worst pain i've ever felt,would have to be when a de-fat fryer fell on top of me (Boiling hot grease)when i was 11 or so.....the really bad part was when two weeks later i took the bandages off in the hospital.....blisters all over my leg and foot,and they burst them with a needle :eek: .

    O yeah I stayed awake for it too :cool: .

    I had appendicitis when I was around 12/13 and it wasn't diagnosed in time, so it burst. I passed out from that pain.
    That gave me peritonitis which had to be treated by jamming a big syringe into me under local anaesthetic where they were jabbing. That was also quite horrible.

    Have to agree on the old burst appendix scenario there, never felt anything like it. The on-tap moprhine button I got afterwards nearly made it worthwhile though :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    probably tearing ligaments i my leg or when i nearly sliced off my finger with a razorr. ow

    hmm, either period pain, lads ye really don't know how lucky ye are, or dislocating my hip...well re-locating it was kinda sore...

    anyway...currently most recent painful pain :D would be in my behind, where in college impatient to get out of a lecture from the row in which i had been sitting-had a tutorial to get to -and there were ppl yapping and standing around talking on the other side, so i jumped over the desk to go to the row below which was clear to walk out, only when i jumped over i also brought down the folded seat with my ass and have a rather painful and large bruise, which im reminded of everytime i sit down...woo attractiveness...however in comparison to toothaches, migranes, and passing kidney stones it pales in comparison...but i still got a sore ass... ;)

    3...
    Looking up at a gigantic inflatable banana the wrong way, gave me a bad neck for a week.. couldnt move without pain.

    2....
    Scar tissue moving around or doing something a year or so after a kidney operation. Nearly passed out with the pain, although it only lasted about half a second.

    1....
    It involves a tube and a tiny robot/camera/somethingorother (exam for another kidney operation)....and going "up". Not through the rear.... the other way "up"....with no anaesthetic.... I mightve only been 2 or 3 at the time but sweet **** it hurt.. Set off every nerve within a 3cm radius of it... :eek: Worse than a kick in the balls.

    Ahem. You've never been kicked in the sack, so don't even try it, female.

    My worst was probably a weird pain I got in my ears while flying into Florida a couple of years ago, it was unbearable, I was nearly crying (and I have a pretty good pain tolerance).

    A relation of mine got post-herpetic neuralgia (pain caused by nerve damage after shingles) - apparently it is THE worst pain known to man (because it's actually the nerves themselves that are damaged). It was quite disturbing to watch her scream in pain, with nothing to be done (painkillers don't really work either).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    Or Hitting your baby toe off a doorstopper,man they cause nothing but pain :/

    I can remember one time when i went to kick my friend,i caught a crap while my leg was in mid-air all i could do was stand on one leg with other leg in the air (open to alot of kicks to the two twins down there) it was really painful,but it was also funny...........for everyone else :).

    Had the whole spinal tap thing. Horrible.

    Have to agree with getting kicked in the stones, thats up there, especially when the kick is at an angle and a testicle gets compressed between your leg and the assailants foot.

    To paraphrase Budd: "Aint nobody badass after a kick in the stones"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭Healio


    A nicely placed kick on the asshole is a real killer aswell, lasts for days if carried out correctly.

    Just wondering, does he ask three times every day if you are having an attack? :p

    Worst pain for me was getting my nipple pierced, thought that only lasts for about 10 seconds. That or toothache.

    Hahahaha :D I'd like to think hubby quite likes me!

    Had both my nipples done, pushed out 3 babies, had a stomach ulcer, sciatica, and numerous other ailments which cause pain, but NOTHING compares to the agony of a kidney stone.....relentless, agonising pain,which a shot of morphine at the hospital only dulled.

    I think my worst experience with pain was when I broke my spine.
    It happened when the front-right wheel of a Merc E class drove right over me.

    7 weeks bedrest, it sucked. Lucky I wasnt paralysed.

    Good thing I was lying back up, had I been belly up I woulda been crushed to death.

    And no im not taking the piss, happened me 12th December 2003. 1 year on and im back to normal, playing sport, swimming, living it up! :D

    -Edit- Spelling error

    Fuppin Merc drivers think they own the road.

    I had a piece of wire metal embedded an inch deep into my ankle, arrow straight, while strimming the neighbours garden. Don't put metal wire into a strimmer, it doesn't work!
    The pain wasn't too bad when it happened, I walked home. When leaving casualty though (Navan) the curious lack of crutches being offered made me ask would I be needing them. Nurse said "No, it should be fine to walk on". It was a bit painful when I walk out to the car. When the drugs wore off .... Oh Sweet Jeebus! I quickly commissioned at set of crutches.

    The instant when you tear a ligament is quite nasty aswell. I've done that several times ... thank you basketball.

    That's about the worst of it for me.

    Had appendicitis Christmas 1998...
    Got it the day of our school holidays, severe cramps all day during school, went home, curled up in bed all evening in pain, couldn't lie straight. The doctor came & said nothing was wrong, but if the pain got worse, go to the hospital. Of course right after he left, the pain got seriously worse, I had to hobble downstairs and get my dad to take me to the hospital.
    Just made it into Emergency when I collapsed, woke up on a stretcher & couldn't stop puking from the pain. They operated the next day, thankfully they got it just in time, so the appendix didn't burst-- from the pain of it, it felt like it was repeatedly exploding. Of course I thought that was the end, pain over..They kept me in til December 23rd, and my throat was inflamed from the breathing tube so I couldn't eat anything all that time, it hurt like a mother to even swallow water. I just about managed to eat Christmas dinner, but it was damn painful! Couldn't walk upright for weeks incase the staples tore open. Funnily enough, when I went to get the staples out, there was a girl infront of me who was getting staples taken out too. She went in, and was screaming the place down, I was absolutely shítting it...then I went it, and the nurse just plucked them out no problem, didn't hurt at all... Some people just have no tolerance for pain ;)

    Had my wisdom teeth out 2 years ago (just the top two, haven't gotten the bottom two....yet!). Jesus that was an ordeal! The injections were fine, didn't hurt too much, but it took the dentist nearly 45mins to physically pull the teeth out of my gums with the pliers...I could hear the gums being ripped & feel the blood pooling in my throat, seriously unpleasant. My lips were all bruised afterwards too, looked like I'd been punched repeatedly in the face. Once the anasthetic wore off, my mouth has never been in so much pain, and the salt water gurgling is just foul. Couldn't put anything into my mouth without excruciating pain from the exposed nerves. I used to like the dentist before that.. :cool:

    Take in mind,I typed it late at night...just like this one

    Little finger in car door, knee on desk and foreskin in zipper are all serious based on the level of actual damage done.

    Being hit in the thigh by a piece of timber thrown up by a car as it sped past was certainly "novel".

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,857 ✭✭✭Bogger77


    I've damaged myself by
    1 ) breaking Right arm, multiple break
    2 ) Standing a board with a nice nail sticking up, straight through my foot (nail popped up through top of foot) :eek:
    3 ) fractured skull when hit by a swing
    4 ) dislocated big toe, playing soccer on beach with no shoes
    5 ) been stung by a weaver fish
    6 ) broken ribs and sprained hips after a car crash
    7 ) Broke left leg and ankle in building site accident
    8 ) dislocated right ankle falling downstairs
    9 ) got a part of car cd player jammed behind left knee cap as result of car crash
    10) Had a car drive over my foot.
    11) had dentist to a filling without anesthetic
    12) Broke 3 toes after hitting a wall with no shoes on.

    worse pain: breaking ribs/hips, couldn't sneeze, cough, laugh, f*rt, stand up / sit down, go to the loo or do much else without pain. Also, got a friendly punch in the ribs by a friend, right on the broken ribs, from a mate, just as I was telling her about the crash. That was sore

    Getting a stick embedded in my forehead. I was four, and I can still remember the agony... I still have the scar,too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Shazbot


    shattering my hip playing rugby , that was horrible. it was never the same again.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 611 ✭✭✭Alana

    Memory of intense pain:

    At the age of four my dad used cycle me to school.
    Being the curious child that I was, I decided to see what would happen if I stuck my foot in the quickly rotating wheel of my dad's bike
    Needless to say, the results weren't pretty.



    Oh, and I lost a mitten too *sniffle*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 495 ✭✭Beëlzebooze


    Not exactly the worst physical pain I have been in, but deffo the greatest shock factor was shooting a nail into my hand with a nailgun. The realisation of what just happened and the instant swelling of tissue arround the nail was a defining moment!

    Worst physical pain would be a toss up between a slipped disk and a rootcanal infection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,960 ✭✭✭Tippex


    I have to say that the most painful thing was back in august when I fell down the Attic stairs and caught my wedding ring on one if the metal struts.
    I nearly degloved. Not a pleasent experience at all I definately would not recommend it.

    As it happens I was damn lucky surgeon told me I was a 1/4 of an inch from having my finger amputated.

    Anyway this was it on one of the better days...
