For me this is pretty easy. It was the time my leg, and foot cramped up. Now I'm not talking about the kind of cramping where it goes away in 20 or 30 seconds, I'm talking about a cramp up your whole leg that last for around 30 minutes. It's almost as if your leg becomes paralyzed, only it doesn't paralyze the excrutiating pain. For anyone who's experience one of those cramps for any length of time, I sympathize with you. The second worse is actually what I'm experiencing now, only it was before that it was really bad. I'm talking about withdrawels. The first time I was taken of my adderol, I had such bad withdrawels, they can't even be explained. From the clod sweats, to the nausea, to the migraine, and feeling like your temperature's 105 degrees. For anyone who's suddenly been taken off a med, you know what I'm talking about. Alot of it too depends on the med, and how strong it is. That's why my withdrawels right now are a bit easier, what they took me off of isn't nearly as strong as adderol. So what was the worse physical pain you've ever felt in your life?

In Jan of 1998, I got my finger stuck in the garage door and in a state of shock, I pulled it out and half of the tip of my finger was cut off. My dad rushed me to the emergency room and thankfully it wasn't too late to have the finger stitched back together. When I woke up in the middle of the night after the pain medication had worn off, I was in unbelievable pain. :eek:

I suggest you stop putting your fingers in garage doors! :D
That does sound painful. :eek:

My top pick would probably be a toothache I had in the mid-1980s. Turned out the tooth needed a root canal.
I've also had a few episodes of acute (short-term) backaches, but the toothache was much worse.

I think the worst physical pain I had was when I broke my ankle playing volleyball in high school.

I broke my collarbone when I was in 3rd grade -- I hear that's one of the worst pains anyone can have -- and I don't remember the pain at all.

I've sprained my wrist twice... The first time. OMG. It didn't hurt at first... went home, went to bed. I woke up the next morning in a LOT of pain. Couldn't move my wrist... it hurt so ****ing badly. Had to haul ass as fast as we could to the ER.

I've had to have X-rays taken when I sprained my wrist both times. OMFG has anyone ever done that?? Having to move your limb in just the right way and then holding it like that for the machine. OWWW.

Sprains take longer than broken bones to heal. So I was in a lot of pain both times for over 6 months. :(

Having my daughter.. LOL

Besides childbirth the worst pains that I've had were an absessed tooth and I also had gallstones. At least in childbirth you get break between pains but the others were a constant non stop pain. I would say that these last too are tied as the worst! Misery!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

When I was 15, I broke one of my legs in 3 places.

Ay, your stories all sound so painful! =/

I've never broken a bone, but I did twist my knee horribly playing soccer. I'd usually twist my ankle once a week or once every two weeks (i'm VERY accident prone like that), but during a game, a girl and I collided as she was coming for the ball. I don't remember exactly what happened, because it happened so fast, but somehow I collided with her and tripped over her and twisted my knee. Our heads collided too, but that pain went away fast. I couldn't move for the next hour and for the next month I had to wear a brace on my knee.

Other than that, the most pain I've been in would have to be the one root canal I've had done. Ever since then, I get scared every time I have to go to the dentist. :lol:

#1. Labor, when I had my son. That's why I only have one child. lol!
#2. Broken wrist, it happened on a Friday night & I waited until Monday to go to the doctor. It already started to knit back together & they had to reset it, it hurt like ****.

Yeah, it was certainly an experience that I would not care to relive. :eek:

Who doesn't? :lol:

Summer of 2004- I turned around and somehow got a severe and throbbing pain in my left shoulder. It hurt A LOT to move at all, but I had to go to school.

It was also the last day of my sophomore year of high school, so I still had to tough it out and finish my finals. The last thing I wanted to do was not show up on the most important

Luckily, I got a reward for my effort- not only would I be able to rest my shoulder for a week, but that night was also game 7 of the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals- unfortunately, it would be the last hockey game prior to the lockout- the last professional hockey game until October 5, 2005.

The worst pain I've ever experienced is back spasms. I have an arthritic disc in my back so as a result my back muscles have on a number of occasions gone into spasm. That is the body's way to react when you have an issue with your spine. The muscles tighten up thinking they have to take over supporting your body since the spine is compromised. The worst spasms I ever experienced happened about a dozen years ago at Christmas time. That was some kind of pain. And I missed Christmas dinner with my family too just to add insult to injury!

Earaches. I used to get them constantly as a child. These weren't over-in-a-little-while type, they'd last for weeks and weeks. The doctor actually gave me medications that would (temporarily) cause me to lose my hearing in one ear, as it was the only way I could function. I still get them from time to time, but not nearly as bad as I used to.

You read my mind Liza! Earaches are HORRIBLE! I had several growing up and the doctor would give me Tylenol with Codine to knock me out so I wouldn't feel the pain. I would practically be unconcious until it cleared up. Awful, constant pain, ugh. *shivers*



I do have pain daily from my Fibro, but I think the most painful thing I ever went through was when I fell off my horse when I was 13. I cracked my hip bone, scraped my arm up pretty bad and ripped the entire finger nail off my left pinky finger. :eek: I got up and got right back on because I was determined not to let her get away with throwing me off, but later the pain hit full force and I thought I was dying. I never cried, but I yelled a lot, LOL :lol:

Hmmm, worst pain was probably last year when I pinched a nerve in my back and couldn't walk for several days. :eek:
The time when I was 10 and I fell off a scooter and scraped my entire face on the cement, loosening my two front teeth and breaking my nose.. well, that comes in a close second. :rolleyes:

Yikes, I'm sorry about that Mattie. :eek: It hurts just reading your post. When I was 12, I was riding a friend's ten-speed really fast and the chain came off and got stuck in the wheel. When that happened, I flew off the bike, and hit the side of a tree and then fell to the ground. It was like something out of a Road Runner cartoon. OUCH!

Who doesn't? :lol:

:lol: Speaking of which, I need to go for a check up at the end of June...how fun...

a toothache that was so bad i was involuntarily screaming and crying in pain! i called and got an emergency appointment with the dentist and on the way there was rear ended making my pain worse. anyway when i finally did get there the receptionist wanted me to fill out this paperwork but i was in so much pain i couldn't concentrate enough to even write my own name. the dentist was with another patient but he came in and gave me a quick novocaine shot to make me comfortable in the meantime. the pain was so great though that in less than ten minutes he had to come back in and give me another. finally when he was done with the other patient he tended to me. he had to give me, i swear, it had to be atleast 4 other novocaine shots. half so the pain wouldn't come back midway through and half because i was petrified the work he was going to do was going to upset the tooth more and the thought of being in anymore agony than i was already in was terrifying.

what had happened was another dentist who was going to do a filling had drilled the tooth and put a temporary filling in. well he didn't realize the root was infected and the bacteria became trapped under the temporary filling which caused extreme pressure that made this toothache. fortunatelt this other dentist fixed it that day.

ouch!!! mike and mattie your stories are cringe inducing, that sounds so painful. sorry to hear that

i had a bad earache just a few months ago. wow, i could not even touch my ear, it was very painful. for almost a week i couldn't hear out of it and all i'd hear was these popping noise in my inner ear like when you're on a plane.

ouch!!! mike and mattie your stories are cringe inducing, that sounds so painful. sorry to hear that

Thanks, Kim. Yeah, it was quite a painful experience. I actually still have a scar on my arm.

I think a toothache or an infected tooth is about as painful as you can get. It is really intolerable pain.

I get the WORST menstral cramps. EVAH.

Over the counter medicenes only dull the pain; every month I have to take like, STRONG muscel relaxers and I'm just not myself.

Also, When I was 15, I got struck by a vehicle. Physical therapy for 6 months, 3 weeks home from school....it hurt...a lot.

i'm tempted to say getting electrocuted, but i think the pain was a little more mental than physical because i was scared ****less because i had no idea how far the electricity was going to spread into me. still got some of my skin torn and a scar from it though. (the lesson learned here was to watch what the hell you're doing while unplugging something)

i'd imagine it was getting a hole in my head as a toddler, although it was too long ago for me to recall the pain or even more than a few seconds of the incident.

as far as what i can remember, it may have been the day i got my wisdom teeth out after the numbness wore off. i was crying in pain and frustration because i wasn't allowed to take painkillers or lay down (as to escape the pain by sleeping) yet.

The worst pain I ever experienced was the pain in my left arm in 2004. It started in the vein in my wrist and would shoot through my arm and into my chest. I would sweat constantly even though it was the middle of winter. I had a hard time sleeping. If I got angry or excited it would be worst. I thought I was having a heart attack on more than one occasion. The doctor didn't know what was wrong and it eventually went away after 6 months.

I've had other pain like the back Spasms that Marvin mentioned. They are awful. It once took me 2 hours just to get out of bed because it hurt so much. I've also had quite a bit of bad asthma attacks. When I was in junior high, I went to the ER with them just about every week. One time I was admitted to the hospital and spent a week up there. That was in 9th grade. I haven't had an asthma attack in about a decade. The last one I had was pretty bad. I couldn't even walk without feeling like I was going to pass out.

Let me add the time that my horse(I no longer have horses, but I did at one time) stood on my foot and didn't realize it. I went out to feed him and only had on flip-flops, not a smart idea, and he stood on my foot and I had to push against his shoulder as hard as I could to get him to move. Lucky for me he didn't break my foot because he didn't put all of his weight on it, but it was black and blue for weeks. ohno:

I somehow strained my back one time and it was so painful I could barely move.

I know. I remember coming home from school and just wanting to lay on the bed and die. I didn't care that I was only twelve. I wanted to die, right then and there.
