whats the worst pain u have ever been in?

Stomach Flu

Once, I was at the dentist and they had to put in a filling, so I had to have that gas crap. It took about 25 minutes for it to finally kick in so I'll be numb, but I still wasn't numb enough for them to work on. At this point, I was getting kinda dizzy. Finally I felt numb enough and they started working. And I wasn't too dizzy anymore. A while later (while they were putting in my filling), I was no longer numb and I felt every single thing they were doing inside my month! I still have no idea why that happened! But I couldn't talk to tell what I could feel. And I didn't even notice that I was crying until the dentist started wiping my face. When they were done, they found out what happened and they were afraid we were going to file a lawsuit or something! So I switched to a different dentist. :D

Don't forget to floss!! ;)

Either getting my wisdom teeth out or the migraines I get. It feels like someone took a pick axe to my head.

The 8 teeth abcesses I've had in the past 5 years. The last was the worst - the infection spread to my jawbone, eye socket and up the side of my skull. The dentist tried to open 6 different areas in the gum to drain it, (he was even pushing from my eye socket downwards) but couldn't get much. He put me on extremely strong antibiotics and painkillers and said if it got any worse, I'd need to be rushed to ER as it was that close to getting into my bloodstream.

I've had a lot of chronic pain with the three forms of arthritis I have over the years, but the abcesses beat everything. :eek: :(

Having part of my finger cut off

Stupid things children of 6 do. You know.

Having part of my finger cut off

:eek: It didn't fall into the soup, did it?

I also had a lot of trouble with my knees when I was younger.

Having a hangover. OMFG. Okay, it didn't hurt *THAT* much but I had a hangover once for a good 12 hours, and I just wanted to die. Serves me right. :o

I really can't think of any offhand. I sprained my wrist VERY badly in a rollerblading accident in June of 2001. I thought nothing of it til the next day, when I woke up and couldn't even move my arm without pain shooting up my arm. I had to go to the ER. :(

Oh yeah...Bladder infections are a LOT of fun! [/sarcasm]

When I was 3, I pulled a fresh pot of coffee onto my leg. My skin came off in sheets. I had to learn how to walk on that leg again. I'll never forget the pain or the smell.

some guy stabbed me to death with a toothpick cuz eye interrupted him when he was talkin and stuff.

:eek: It didn't fall into the soup, did it?
Yeah, into the Wendy's Chili. :lol:
No really, It got sliced off at work a few years ago and after I was taken to the hospital, my co workers went to look for it and couldn't find it anywhere. It probably got swept up with the trash. Funny thing though, after several months much of the skin and tissue grew back on it's own.

I've never broken any bones or anything, but I've had so much trouble with my teeth. The first time I got braces, I remember it hurting for a couple days; it was terrible. It wasn't as bad as the time that I had to go to an oral surgeon and he cut half my gum open. That was probably the worst pain I've ever been in :o

Same here. I've never got stung by a bee or broken a bone. My braces were sore a few days I got them on, and they hurt a lot. I guess my only other pain is when I sprained my wrists and my ankle.

But other than that and my other story, nothing else has really happeded.

Ouch, that had to hurt! Sorry to hear about that, and your story. What kind of dentist did you have? He must have been evil - or just plain stupid! :p

In addition to stomach flu, I'd also like to add...running into stuff with/dropping stuff on your toes, and headaches.

A really, really, really (etc...) terrible headache! The point where it's almost like a migraine (don't even know the name of it!) where I am going to vomit! It's where I am so uncomfortable to sleep, eat, work, etc....

Reminds me of when I had a colonoscopy once and the sedation hadn't kicked in when they rolled me into the O.R.. I told them I wasn't sedated at all - I was sitting upright on the gurney and had been talking baseball stats with an orderly. Didn't matter - they did it anyway and even when he couldn't get it past one curve, had me change my position and with my hand try to move my abdomen myself so that it could get past a fold. The idiot should have had his license revoked!

My mother also woke up during her gastric bypass surgery (for cancer, not excessive weight) back in the 70's. She heard exactly what the surgeon was talking about, felt a burning pain but couldn't move or speak. She said she was awake for about 5 minutes. At first they didn't believe her until she told him the name of his sail boat and when he had it out last (the topic of his conversation that she shouldn't have heard). Pretty strange!!

That said though, still wasn't the worst pain either of us ever had.

Now THAT would F$%&ing hurt!!! I think getting burned with third degree burns must be the worst ever!!! I've had 2nd degree and one small patch of 3rd on my hand, but nothing like that Desperate!!! You poor thing! :(

Well, besides childbirth the worse pain I was ever in was a gallbladder attack years ago. I rate that right up there with childbirth! I was so glad to get that dang gland removed! :eek:

And I have also had several bad toothaches. Which ended up in root canals! Really, between childbirth, gall bladder and abcessed teeth......... I rate them all up there even steven! OOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ouch! :eek:

My daughter had to have a hysterectomy after losing her last child and she said that even under sedation she felt the whole thing. She couldn't talk or scream or anything! My poor baby! :eek:

I've had emotional pain.But no serious physical pain.

cramps is the worst pain I've ever had. I know that's not very much compared to other types of pain but my pain tolerance is VERY low. Whenever I'm crying because my cramps are so bad my mom tells me to NEVER have any kids because I won't be able to handle the pain!

I was wearing my stupid little Japanese flats, running down the stairs with my friends at school, and I slipped down the last two, fell HARD HARD HARD on my ass, and slid. I had a cup of nacho cheese with me, it got all over me. And I still have a bruise... it happened about a month ago.

For a while the medical profession tried to hide this fact as it happens more than they would like you to think. It depends on the person and how they react to the anethesia. To me - that would be the worst because you're totally paralyzed and they only can tell by blood pressure and other readings whether you're coming out or not. I heard recently that its completely the anethesologist's fault if you come to - he should be able to tell WELL before you're that aware. Just horrible!! :eek:

And yeah, my mom said the gallbladder was as bad as childbirth (and she had a very rough one with me). I've never had kids, but I've heard from women who have that say an abcessed tooth is as painful as childbirth, but at least in childbirth you have something to show for it afterwards instead of a huge dental bill! I think they have a point! :lol:

I've had some fun migraines too in the past that felt like they were strokes they were so intense - and would last for three days.

I'm still thankful we live today - imagine going through stuff like that even 100 years ago????!!! :eek: YIKES!

P.S. - so sorry to hear about your daughter and grandchild Marlene. It's always heartbreaking.

How did they remove your gaulbladder? I'm just curious, because I had an ultrasound on my heart (I have PVC) and the doctorsaid my gaulbladder wasn't dialating right.

Don't know about Marlene, but I understand they now usually do it laproscopically - two or three holes are made (no long incision) and they basically suck it out with tubes they insert that have cameras and scalpels on them. Much less pain and recovery time required when done that way.

I had one done on my uterus - wasn't bad at all. Hope all goes well for you!

Yeah, I think that's what my mom said about it. Ugh, it makes me so disgusted. Never in my life I've had an operation, and I plan not to in the future. I don't want any tubes and stuff in me!

Wow, uterus? You're lucky it didn't hurt. Thanks though! I don't think I have a big problem with it though - just only my heart.

Also to add for worst pain: Getting shots and blood taken out. I hate it!

-Swallowing a pen cap. Yeah, don't do that.

-Slamming my finger in a door and having the entire nail ripped off.

-Throwing up 14 times in one night.

Losing a loved one. It's the worst feeling in the world, and it will never go away.

OWWWWW!!!! That made me cringe & gave me goosebumps just reading that. *shudder*

Wisdom teeth.

Sometimes I get this stomache cramp and it gets all knotted and I break out into a sweat and I feel like Im going to crap my pants and throw up at the same time [tmi -.-], and at that moment in time all I want to do is die.

Step on a nail big,rusty,old,nail step right on it went through my shoe and foot. Fell of a chair when I was around 10,all I remmeber crying and looking at the hospital ceiling going bywhen I was being bought in the hosptal

Step on a nail big,rusty,old,nail step right on it went through my shoe and foot.

That happened to me and an old friend of mine. We were goofing around and chasing eachother over a bunch of old planks. He stepped on the nail first, then I stepped on the exact same nail! We both got a scolding for that!

The funny thing is, it didn't hurt. It only stung for a little while.

I've had emotional pain.But no serious physical pain.

That's bloody painful too.

Oh yeah, and shutting my finger in a car door and the door shutting on it. My finger burst open.

Winner: Getting whalloped in the head by the box springs of a bed, hard (was a little younger at the time). Ever seen a TV show/cartoon where someone, carrying something head-level, suddenly swings it around - hitting the person innocently standing nearby? That.

That. Hurt. Like. Hell, largely due to the energy gained by the momentum of the swing.

Ouch, that had to hurt! Sorry to hear about that, and your story. What kind of dentist did you have? He must have been evil - or just plain stupid! :pYeah, he was a dumbass. But when it was over, my mom's friend who was sitting with her in the waiting room came in and he had just gotten back from Vegas, and he gave me a bunch of his chips! :D So I felt a lot better! ;)

You're so lucky! Maybe I should tell doctors to not numb me, and then have my mom's friend from Las Vegas give me some money! :D

Kidney Stones, you want to committ suicide.

Kidney Stones, you want to committ suicide.

Yeah - definitely not fun, and I hear they're worse on guys. :(

Miscarriage :(

Losing a loved one. It's the worst feeling in the world, and it will never go away.

That is #1, but Kidney Stones are the worst physical pain.

For a man

I've had worse emotional pain than I've had physical pain.I did used to get really bad stomach pain when I was younger,and that was pretty unbearable.

:yeahthat

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a challenger to the throne previously held by the box springs bonk!

I occasionally have a toenail become ingrown. It alone, doesn't really bother me much, pain-wise (even if it gets to be infected), I get it cut out, I'm fine for another year or so.

Well, I've currently got one. And what happens? Dropped something heavy on it by accident from around 5 ft up. Hurt*S* like hell.

OUCH!!! My brothers both had ingrown toenails (from wearing Beatle boots back in the late 60's)! One had to had half of each nail cut off and it sure looked painful! Can't imagine the pain with dropping something on that! :eek:

I've had worse emotional pain than I've had physical pain.I did used to get really bad stomach pain when I was younger,and that was pretty unbearable.Gosh, emotional pian is that worst pain anyone could ever go through! :(

Amen.

One of the worst emotional pains anybody can have when it comes to somebody dying is when they commit suicide. I experienced it firsthand and would NEVER wish the pain on anybody. I STILL have horrible flashbacks to that night, and it will be with me for the rest of my life. :( Nobody can understand the TRUE pain of losing a loved one to suicide, UNTIL it happens to somebody in their family.

Yeah, the emotional pains outweigh any physical pain I've had by an unmeasurable amout..I'll just not go into it.

Amen.

Yes I agree that emotional pain can be as painful as physical pain. I have suffered both but in my humble opinion physical pain is worse! No, wait a sec..................... emotional pain is worse..............um................I don't know! All I know is that I don't want to suffer either one! :eek:

As far as physical pain goes...

1. Dentist Work...I swear no matter how much stuff the try to numb me with, it is always the most HORRIBLE pain. It makes me want to barf just thinking about it.
2. Falling off some sort of jungle gym like thing at the park when I was 13 or 14 and landing on on of the lower bars...Right in the NUTS.
3. Getting my toenail ripped off when I slipped and ran it under a door in 2003...Not a pleasant expirience by any means.

Other than that...I'd probably have to say getting a huge friction burn on my arm going down one of those HUGE slides on Belle Isle. I still have a scar going all the way up my arm, and that was over 10 years ago.

Hmmm, Where to start....

1. Surviving A Car accident When I Was 4.

2. Being burnt on a wood stove when I Was 3

3. Having my head cracked open with a fishing pole When I Was 8.

4. Falling off a 20 foot slide When I Was 6.

5. Having A Potato thrown at me and hit me in the head when I Was 7.



I Was a very injury prone boy. :lol:

Apparently we both had accidents on large slides around the same age. :lol:

The difference with mine was that I didnt fall OFF of it, just down it and burned alot of skin off of my arm.

Can't they give you drugs for that though? Just asking, I don't have kids.

Can't they give you drugs for that though? Just asking, I don't have kids.
Yeah, they can. I'm not an expert though...I believe they're called epidurals. To my knowledge, the medicine is injected into your spine. *shudder* That could have changed, tho...My mom had that done with my sibs when they were born in the early 80's.

I'll have to go with the emotional paiin too, especially losing a loved one. Physical pain heals in time but emotional pain lasts forever. Even when it lessens, it still leaves you with a numb feeling.

physical pain and emotional pain to me are somewhat equal depending on the situation. I've lost loved ones, and losing my brother has left a big void in my life that can never be replaced. Ii've had physical pain, which sucks too especally abdominal pain, upper respiratory infections. sinus infections, and sunburns!

Can't they give you drugs for that though? Just asking, I don't have kids.

yes, but i didnt want anything

I really can't think of any offhand. I sprained my wrist VERY badly in a rollerblading accident in June of 2001. I thought nothing of it til the next day, when I woke up and couldn't even move my arm without pain shooting up my arm. I had to go to the ER. :(

And I managed to sprain THAT SAME WRIST days after posting this (I sprained it 5/21). Went to the ER too...Deja vu.

It hurts just like I remember it did last time. Sprains suck! :mad:

This reminds me of a commercial like that - and the tag line is something like, "It'a a wonder he made it to the age of ten!!"

Yeah, I had a car wash brush thrown at me when I was 3 and remember it vividly. Had to get stitches in my right eyebrow and still have a big scar there from it. Boy do head wounds bleed badly!

As for the emotional pain - well, I can't even go there. Let's just say I have a few "t-shirts" in my collection (as in, "been there, done that, got the t-shirt"). :(

Physical pain-slipping between the seats of a concert venue and landing on the top of the seat right between my legs

Emotional pain-when my grandpa died when I was 15

I tripped and fell over nothing when I was five in 1990 and I ended up breaking my glasses and having to go to the ER to get stitches, because I managed to split my left eyebrow open. THAT was lovely. :( I can vividly remember it bleeding and I vividly remember crying really hard when the docs were stitching me up...it hurt SO ****ing much. I remember when my dad was leading me into the ward to get stitched up, I walked past a man lying on one of the beds that had been in a nasty motorcycle wreck. UGH. I will never forget that.

CRAMPS!!!!!!!!

CRAMPS!!!!!!!!

I second that!

whats the worst pain u have ever been in?


The worst pain for me is right now..............I'm suffering from "DDD/Degenerative Disc Disease", usually moderate to very painful a good portion of the time and terrible flareups a few times a week/month. I really need surgery soon.

Having part of my finger cut off

When I cut the tip of my finger off, it hurt, but only for a few secs since I severed the nerves so badly....

My worst pain, I guess, was when I feel and dislocated my knee cap, tore my miniscus, and sprained my MCL...couldn't walk and all that....nothing exciting or that terribly bad compared to some of you guys, though!!

a tree fell on me when i was 12 and had toget stitches in my head

i fell off the bus steps and my back hurt so bad i passed out from the pain. i couldnt sit, stand, lie down or walk (like normally, i had to walk really slow)

I fell into an open-air dye vat at work & burned 80% of my body. I was in the Burn Unit at Winston-Salem, NC. When they first started, they have to scrape off all the dead burnt skin. With pain meds, even then, I was told by my wife that she could hear me yelling, screaming, & crying throughout the building. Even in my hospital bed it was hard to get my back to heal. When they changed the medicated strips, new skin would peel off with them & I would scream in excruciating pain. I am so glad that part is over now. I thank God that I am alive each day.

A couple of things come to mind. Hard to decide:


1)I was playing basketball during a block party and I stepped on uneven pavement and my ankle bent almost all the way. One more hyperextension would have torn everything according to the doctor.


2)I was closing the door to my backyard and I only got 4 of the 5 fingers away from the door and slammed it on my middle finger.


3)When I had food poisoning when I was 7. The cramps were so bad.


4)Dislocating my elbow. The actual fall wasn't that painful. It was popping it back in that was.


5)Any time I accidently kicked the wooden box near my couch. My dad and I have each broken a toe over the years.

When my high school (and my only ever serious) girlfriend died of cancer on July 6, 1994. That was real emotional pain. :(

Thanks, Mona. :)

Earaches. They are such a pain for me. :(

I shut my leg in a car door. Most people are like, "Oh I shut my finger in the door" ... yeah, not me. I was late for practise, RUNNING, I just go to slam the door, it catches my leg and goes BAM on it. I limped up to the school, run into the auditorium, throw my stuff down and hoist my aching leg onto the seat. All my friends go, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO??" I told them and they all laughed at me :p There is going to be the biggest scar from that.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so I've had to develop a high tolerance for pain over the last few years. It's just the nature of the beast.

But even so, I still can't handle the excrutiating pain of a toothache. A few months back, one of my fillings broke off when I was at work, and the pain was so bad that I couldn't even think straight enough to look up my dentist office's phone number.

You must have the heart of a saint to be able to get thru something like that, your wife and family must also be angels to stand by you when you need it the most. It really makes you wonder about life, that is why everyone should enjoy their health while they have it. :wave:

Certainly never thought that I would be in the shape that I am now, there are many days that I cannot get out of bed or dress myself due to physical challenges. Somehow I always make it, never missed more than a few hours here & there from work for doctors appoinments, etc. Way too many hospital bills piling up.

I commend you & your family for what you have went thru and what you are facing, good luck.
