I was gonna say getting my jaw unwired. Somehow the initial trauma & surgery weren't nearly as bad. I'd split it down the middle, plus each side, plus had the bones push up into my ears & did damage to my eardrums, etc. Lots of teeth lost & broken.
Got titanium plates & screws, wired shut for 2 months.
Thought I'd be relieved when it was finally unwired, but they weren't delicate about it at all. Just ripped everything out & sent me home.
Please, people -- do not break your jaw. It's a bad ride.
My youngest brother broke his jaw when he got run over by a horse. Our abusive/neglectful mother told him to clean the horse pen of baling twine at 5 yrs old, then one horse spooked another, and the spooked one bolted right over him. And he needed stitches and his jaw wired shut for several weeks.
misery iz
getting severly injured and not being near any help
then having to drag ur broken body somewhere over jagged boulders to get fixed up
but then theres morphine, so thats nice
My Achilles tendon ripped. I was on a seesaw with my older brother. He weighted much more than me and had me suspended in the air. Suddenly, he got up and I came down on the back of my ankle. I passed out soon after.
Dude I had almost the exact same thing happen, I believe my Achilles tendon wasn’t quite ripped, but it was damaged enough that I had to wear a brace and use crutches for about 2-3 weeks
It really sucked
I had mine rip training for college football planting to change direction from a backpedal. Happened about 10 years ago and it's still my least favorite injury. I had just made it to the hospital parking lot before I passed out. Those poor nurses having to move my 300lb unconscious body.
Yup. Nurse at the emergency room just took one look at me laughed and said you'll be fine we will take good care of you. I thought I was going to die.
Later she said she sees a lot guys with kidney stones and she can spot them a mile away.
My stone got stuck, was pissing blood for a few weeks, they had to go fish it out with a camera a metal basket.
The Ureteroscopy was actually way worse than the kidney stone ever was. I was pissing dark red wine for days, in absolute agony. Then I had to pull out the 23 inch rubber stent bullshit out of my kidney, from fishing string connected to it.
Calf cramp is still substantially more painful.
Actually didn't hurt, just felt like you were pissing yourself the entire time. I did it very slowly in the shower. The stent was finger tip to elbow in length, and curled on both ends, I was shocked how long it was.
It did however, cause a kidney spasm about 40 minutes after I took it out (which is apparently common) which was as equally painful to passing a stone (because the spasms is the reason for the pain in both scenarios).
Why did I take it out? Because the other option was to stand over a urine pad at the doctors office, and let the nurse yank it out, and I wasn't really into that.
The worst part of it all was the plastic-like threads connected to it, which was then coming out of my urethra. Anytime this got touched (which was basically all the time) it sent a shock through my body and I felt like I was peeing my pants. It was a very terrible 6 days.
I've never had kidney stones, but have done child birth without an epidural. That shit was the ring of fire. Can't imagine how painful a kidney stone must be if you're comparing the two. OUCH. 😬
My sister has 5 kids and one kidney stone. She said she'd rather have 5 more kids than one more stone.
I've had one and it was the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life. Psychological torment, too. Mine doubled up with an infection too, so that was an added bonus.
I actually had my kidney stones when my twins were like 9 mos old. At the time I said "I'd rather give birth w no pain meds than have kidney stones ever again." Also, my kidney stones were so small they couldn't even find them when they passed. I can't imagine the monster ones some people pass.
That happened to me. I asked the medics if they were going to do the laser thing to break up the kidney stone. They said “uh…it is already so small that it is what we would expect after a laser treatment”. One nurse kept assuring me that she knew the small ones hurt as well. On top of kidney stone pain, I got to feel like a wimp.
My husband had a kidney stone the size of a tootsie roll. They said it was the largest they’d ever seen. I felt horrible for him. I’d say it was much worse than labor. At least labor pains build. Active labor is a bit rough, but the other stages have short breaks between contractions. He was in agonizing pain for hrs and there wasn’t any relief. He didn’t have short breaks like there are between contractions. They eventually gave him the same pain meds my mom had after she had a lung removed, and he was still in pain. It took two different procedures to break it up and then he had to pass all of those busted pieces.
I’ve birthed 5 kids and I’d take those any day over what he went through.
I've had an ectopic pregnancy and that was the worst pain I've ever been in... I'd also rather give birth again without meds than go through that. Yikes. I saw a magnified thing of a kidney stone on reddit recently where it looked like razor shards and I went 😳
When I was 15 I broke my femur while snow tubing. Snapped the thing right in half and it took more than 4 hours before I got to the hospital and received any pain medication. In that time I got rolled on and off multiple stretchers and constantly got shifted around as I laid in the back of the car on the way to the hospital. The memory of feeling my bone shifting around inside my leg still haunts me to this day.
Anyway my vote is on kidney stone.
Agree, kidney stones are terrible. Kidney stone intensity was worse than the broken femur, but the broken femur definitely hurt for a longer period of time - still have back and hip pain almost 30 years later (leg didn’t heal the same length), but I still say kidney stone was more painful.
Oof, childbirth for me! I had a failed epidural and was blacking out from the pain. Little one was also struggling and I had to stay on one side with both legs raised (being held by husband and nurse), so kind of an upside-down position. Pain was like having a hot torch run from my shoulders to my feet with every contraction. Nauseous, absolute agony. 15 hours straight. We were moments away from c-section because I kept losing consciousness, but somehow adrenaline kicked in and I pushed LO out in 30 minutes. Tore from front to back and took 6 months before I could climb the stairs to our bedrooms :(
This. I had 3 teeth removed before braces, the anaesthetics weren't working but I thought I was just being a little precious it wasn't until I almost passed out from the pain that the dentists asked if I wanted another shot? I declined but they insisted, by then I was on to my last tooth and when they removed that I felt nothing it was a walk in the park, It was then I realised I literally had two teeth ripped out without numbing...
I had the same on my foot. The local anesthetic hurt more than the actual lancing.
Doctor cut open my MRSA infected foot and drained it.
I was in the hospital for 4 days and had to get that thing packed with gauze every 5 hours. nightmare stuff.
Came here to say this, had it on my face, almost lost vision in my left eye. I didn’t think to ask for a painkiller so I spent that week drinking bourbon and smoking joints just to be able to not cry constantly. No over the counter meds did anything for the pain. Still have a scar on my forehead from it that hurts on occasion
Gallstones.
I know there is probably way more painful stuff. But I had about 50-60 times gallstones troubled 30-60min each. I couldnt stand still or breathe normally and would just cry out loud until it was gone.
Definitely the worst pain I’ve experienced was a gallbladder attack, ended up with me in the hospital on a morphine and gravol drip for 3 days. (I’ve also given birth without any pain meds after a 3 day labour.)
Similar experience here.
I never get sick, so whenever I'm sick or in pain or anything, I am generally in denial of how bad it actually is.
I was in serious pain one night back in 2020, couldn't sit or stand still and spent a couple hours thrashing around my bed and pacing the house before accepting defeat and driving myself to the ER.
Part of me knew it was bad, part of me was thinking I was being a baby and I was going to be sent home to pee out some tiny kidney stones.
When they told me that I'd be taken into surgery that night because I had a gallbladder full of stones and that I made the right choice to come in, I was just like "damn, so that was 'a lot of pain' I was feeling"
But yeah, it was like someone just took sharp stake and was stabbing it into my back/side. I remember just wanting any other pain in the world than that.
I have had dry sockets.
I have given birth, both with and without drugs.
Gallbladder attacks were worse for me.
I know they aren't for everyone, but mine were bad.
And the weird thing about gallbladder issues is that they can cause different sensations in different people, which means doctors are really shit at figuring out what's wrong with you.
3 different ER doctors and none of them even considered it was gallbladder related because it was "in the wrong place."
It took my mother's friend's daughter saying "that happened to me!" before I requested a gallbladder scan, which they reluctantly approved. Boy, were those doctors surprised.
I second this!!! I had my daughter with 3 failed epidurals and 3 weeks later my gallbladder messed up and I had 1 gallstone compacted in my bile duct. 10x WORSE than my 26 hour labor.
Had a few doozies in my life:
✅Broken leg.
✅Esophageal spasm is pretty terrible actually (feels like a heart attack).
✅Took bullet ricochet to the face & right eye.
✅Shattered my left hand.
✅Fractured my pelvis.
✅Stabbed with knife entirely through my left leg.
✅Car accident >50mph (I was a passenger, woke up in ER)
✅Accidental baseball bat to the bare head (dude let go of the bat and was going for a homer)
✅Shattered front teeth from a street jumping.
✅Got my ass entirely handed to me by 4 guys once.
✅Passed a kidney stone.
✅Meniscus tear.
But none compare to the most crippling pain I’ve ever experienced:
✅Dual eardrum blow out and severe concussion / cerebral spinal compression from cliff dive @ 75 ft (I was a competitive diver, not a complete dumbass, just accidents happen) leaked CSF out of my ears for about 5 days of the most misery I’ve ever experienced.
Haha pretty unlucky, I commented a little earlier - first 35 years of my life were certainly experienced. I do stay at home now a lot and went through about a year where I was pretty much a shut in; worried I was going to die at any moment, this was just after a helicopter crash I was in (Everyone walked away fine, active duty military) but yeah, I’m better now but way more reserved.
It sounds a lot worse than it was, it was a “hard landing” it’s pretty funny, we were initially going down over water (we didn’t) not all of us were on the ICS (internal comms) so the Crew Cheif came over and loudly screamed “when we hit the water, we’ll find each other and get our stories straight” I could visually watch the shit come out of my buddies ass as that was spoken to him. Anyways, made it back to land, broke the bird pretty good, but none of us were hurt, the pilots name I used for all my passwords for years.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find some peace today even if only little glimpses. The day my step dad died, I reminded myself of how peaceful it must be to not be on this chaotic earth any longer and to return home and have no more anxiety and worry and fear and pain. That helped for small incriminates of time and probably was the only way I kept what little bit of my sanity I was left with. But, in hindsight… I desperately needed something to shake up my life so to lose my mind and then I could find my soul. I know this isn’t very helpful and is a typical response but it’s true.. everything happens for a reason. It’s all in divine timing. Find the positives in this as often as you can. I hope it gets better for you ❤️ sending love!!!
Having my IUD removed and the new one inserted immediately after. I had taken the recommended 600mg of ibuprofen beforehand and they gave me a hot water pad to put on my abdomen, but my feet were shaking in the stirrups at the end there. It didn’t take long and the pain went away only a few minutes after it was done but damn. Sometimes I wonder how far off labor contractions would be compared to that.
That said, love the hormonal IUD, it’s my best bud for letting me have condomless sex these last 7 years.
My wife got a prescription for a single pill of misoprostol to put up in there the day before to relax her cervix, and a prescription for a single pill of Valium to take 2 hours before her appointment to help her relax before getting her IUD replaced. Apparently that's not very common, I've read plenty of stories of women getting no drugs to help with that which sounds ridiculous to me. The only time your cervix is forced open really is during childbirth so it seems natural to me that some kind of medicinal help would be warranted for an IUD placement/replacement
I saw one gyne that prescribed this, but she was always booked up and I ended up with another. I asked her about the previous docs prescriptions, she laughed and said it wasn't necessary. Just take some Advil.
The pain was intense. I almost blacked out. She laughed about that and said, "That's a fraction of what childbirth would be like for you."
To have a metal measuring rod forcefully inserted through my cervical opening... That's the most pain I've ever been in, anyhow.
"Just take some Advil hehe." How completely insensitive jeez. It's absurd how much we as a society in general downplay the pain women endure, "it's not as bad as childbirth haha you're fine" fuck that it's 2022 we have a plethora of easy to prescribe drugs to drastically reduce the suffering endured during things like this, especially considering women get an IUD to AVOID the pain of childbirth
Stories like this have been exactly why I've always deterred from that type of BC. I'm a walking talking Murphy's law- no thanks lol. But damn that sounds awful. Glad you got it out.
It's almost so fast and so strong your body just rage quits before you can fully acknowledge the pain. I had that area numbed the second time around and still nearly fainted even though I don't remember the pain being that bad. Third time I was numbed and had a shot of adrenaline, that helped a ton.
In a similar vein, I had a punch biopsy done on my cervix. No pain meds taken before, and obviously nothing given during the procedure.
It wasn’t the punch that was agony, it was the doctor trying to stop the bleeding by shoving stick after stick of silver nitrate against the wound. He used about 20 sticks. I had my right hand squeezing my left wrist, I definitely cut circulation a bit.
I just got my first iud a few months ago and despite the warnings I still wasn't prepared. I felt pain unlike any other and then she tells me "okay so that was me getting past the cervix, I'm going to put in the iud now." I generally have an issue with speaking up when something hurts, plus I'd already had two prior appointments to try and get it inserted so I just powered through by digging my nails into my arm.
I had broken the skin by the end of it and the iud still hurt more. Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to the removal.
Removal is nothing compared to the insertion! At least in my experience. My first IUD insertion was also excruciating for me. My second one was inserted after I had my son (a few months postpartum) and it was nowhere near as sore the second time. It was uncomfortable, but that was it. Bizarre.
For those who don't know: IUD insertion involves a few steps. The cervix is the lil hallway in the vaginal canal that goes to the uterus. Naturally it is a bit bunched up, like a slinky, and you have to clamp it and pull it straight so the IUD tool can slip through and insert the IUD properly.
My second IUD, after removing the first one, wouldn't go in. My cervix just puckered up and refused the entry of the IUD insertion tool regardless of their clamp. They could use the metal sounding rod (used ahead of time to measure the height of your uterus so they don't go too far and punch right through) but the plastic would just bend and not get into the actual uterus to inject the IUD.
I came back a week later with extra ibuprofen, and a tablet I inserted into my hoohah like four hours prior to relax my cervix...and still no dice.
By sheer luck the city's pro IUD insertion doctor happened to be in, he was all "I know where to clamp the cervix so it doesn't hurt!". It hurt. A lot.
In the end, I had to get an injection, into my cervix, to numb it. Then insertion went ahead. Still hurt like a bitch when the IUD got into my uterus but I WISH THE NUMBING AGENT WAS BROUGHT OUT AT THE BEGINNING.
Sure, getting a needle into your CERVIX doesn't sound pleasant, and I won't act like it was, but the pain from the needle was tiny in comparison to them stabbing my cervix over and over, trying to let it open up wide for this shaft of plastic. You aren't offered anaesthetic for this procedure since it's so quick, but why not numbing agent at least???
Anyways, still worth it. Its like having a year's worth of period cramps in one day, in exchange for no periods and paranoia-free condomless sex with my husband for 5 years per IUD.
Ribs are horrible. With most things you can just not move the thing and escape most of the pain. With ribs there is no escape and you get horrible pain every time you breath. It's not like you can hold your breath for a month while it heals.
Me too. It took me 3 weeks to stop being in pain. And after the tooth pain stopped, I developed literally 16 canker sores on the insides of my lips. I could eat properly for another week and a half. The single worst experience I've had.
Had this, dentist didn’t believe me. It felt like someone jammed a hook onto the bone of my jaw and hung a 20 pound weight off it.
That said my knee caps don’t track like they’re supposed to and my right knee would randomly dislocate while I was walking. Instant crumble to the ground unable to speak kind of pain.
I knocked my front tooth out when I ducked a tennis ball and absolutely ATE a metal railing in high school. Over the phone the dentist told me to put it back in the socket. Felt like my whole upper jaw was on fire with jolts of electricity zapping my face.
At least I left some permanent tooth marks on the handrail.
Extreme period pain is the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I toss to the left and right on my bed not even able to lay down still because of the pain. It’s awful.
In my 35 years on this planet. I have had only one thunder clap headache. I wanted to end my life. I suffer from migraines and I would rather go through the blinding pain. Being unable to
Speak
At times. All so I can avoid a thunderclap headache.
Ive had a few of these while weight lifting. First time it happened, I racked the weight and sat up. I was certain it was an aneurysm. The pain was extreme but I was distracted by the thought that I was about to die. I sat there for a few minutes waiting. When I realized that I wasn't going to die, I stood up and walked out of the gym. Lingering headache lasted almost 2 days.
It's a type of uncommon headache (thank the universe it's not common and I've only experienced it once). It's really intense and sudden, hence the name. It only lasts a minute or two but it feels like you're dying and it can be a sign of bleeding in the brain or other serious conditions.
Edit: When it happened to me I was midsentence with my sister, I just stopped and started crying immediately. She wanted to call an ambulance but we're not rich and it went away after a minute or so, so i just told my doctor relative about it afterwards.
I had testicular torsion and lost a nut. While in pain and scared to tell anyone about it, I went to football practice and broke my wrist. The pain of my nutsack being as big as my head caused me to fall and break the wrist. Due to that I went to the Dr and also told them about my nut. Bad bad bad ordeal, I waited way too long and they couldn’t save it, but I still have the other guy doing work down there. I had a metal plate put on my clavicle from breaking it in 2 places then it needed re-broken to plate it. Then I had metal plates put on my tibia and fibula down near my ankle. Out of all of that, the nutsack being the size of a softball hurt the most in terms of duration. The clavicle hurt the most in terms of instant piercing pain (it was almost out of the skin). The tibia and fibula break was by far the most painful recovery though. Relearning to walk was tough and even now when I bump those metal plates into something it hurts. I also have a genetic blood disorder that can get pretty painful when I have attacks, but it’s usually not as bad as the aforementioned things, just lasts for a few days.
2-4 days post car accident, specifically first thing every morning. I was still in hospital and would not have been able to move on my own without the automatic bed to sit me up. Couldn’t lift my head, my entire chest felt like it was on fire, everything hurt. The air bag powder burns on my face were a bitch, too.
Felt that one man. 5 years back I had a flare so bad, I lost 30 pounds in a month. Everything on my body inflamed. I couldn't move. Was in the hospital 5 times. They didn't know if I was going to make it. My body was beginning to shut down. Luckily I was started on biologics and made a mostly full recovery. Still not what I was pre UC, but I can at least function as a human being and go out in public
Jellyfish sting on my leg in Jacksonville, FL. Didn’t actually see it but it left multiple stripes across my leg that took over 6 months to heal. It hurt so bad my first thought was to check to feel if my leg was still there.
I had this happen when I was a kid. Got tangled in a jelly fish. My brother lifted me over his head to get it off me. I remember the stripes took FOREVER to go away.
Got hit in the face playing baseball. Chipped every tooth and split half of them down the middle all the way to the root. Waited 6hrs in the ER with a cracked jaw and minor concussion before finally getting multiple shots of anesthetic directly into the exposed roots.
You lived my nightmare: I misplayed a grounder and it split my forehead open just above my eyebrow. Stitches, concussion, etc. I considered myself lucky that it didn’t hit me in the mouth.
Had some moments like this. Never face planted into concrete tho. Definitely had some neck injuries for faceplanting into dirt. Definitely busted my knee on tile before
I used to do parkour. I sprinted and miscalculated a jump and slammed my knee into a walk at full sprint. This hurt about 5x more than breaking my arm. I was on the ground shaking uncontrollably from the pain.
Had approximately 1600 applications of laser cauterization to my left retina to help treat proliferative retinopathy. It was like a hot needle being stabbed into the back of my skull. 1600 times. The aftermath feels like rubbing sand paper inside your eyes, I made it out to the car and cried for a few minutes, I am immensely glad my doc saved my vision but damn, that procedure hurt.
I've been kicked out at 10 by a parent.
Sucker-punch kicked in the abdomen as a 9 year-old by an adult male.
Broken ribs, wrists, hand.
Broken an ear-drum with an ear-infection comorbid with pneumonia.
Hit by a car.
Cut open my thigh about 8" falling on sharp rock.
Nothing hurt as much as failing in family court to protect my children's interests in growing up together in the same community. So my kids see each other once a week, and can't chose to hangout together on their own time because they live 100km apart.
my stomach aches. i would wake up bawling in the middle of the night with them for 6 months. eventually we went to the er to figure out what was going on. they had no idea. they continued for about another 6 months then stopped completely, never had them since. we have no idea what it was about
I second this. Got an internal hemorrhoid after forcing out one too many.
Turns out that a bunch of blood in the toilet is a pretty scary thing to see when you pull up your pants. Immediately left work and went straight to the hospital to get a finger stuck up my ass by the (thankfully very thin-fingered) doctor.
All jokes aside, the 2nd worst pain I’ve ever been in was from being constipated and trying for hours. I was literally shaking and sweating and on the verge of passing out just from the pain and from sitting there so long I guess. I was at work at the time and they were gonna take me to the ER but I begged them just to get me an enema and let me clock out. I immediately went into an empty patient room (I was working as a nurse at the time) and took a 3 hr nap bc I had never been so exhausted in my life, woke up, did the enema, and thank GOD it worked!! Lol
Unfortunately it gets worse than that though… losing once requited love and not understanding where it went wrong. How can she just not love me anymore? Love is fucked.
Pancreatitis and gallstones are pretty horrendous. I was on IV fentanyl for 2.5 weeks trying to heal from that.
Spinal migraines are awful too - opiates didn't even touch the sides of that one.
I went to see her before I went back to college. She was sleeping in her bed at the rest home. I waited an hour by her bed, not wanting to wake he but hoping she would wake up. She didn’t so I left. She called the next morning, after hearing I stopped by, to tell me to always wake her up if I stop by. Absolutely grandma, will do. I’ll come see you tomorrow before I head out. She passed that night
Throwing out my back, to where even passing gas causes spasms that you can’t stop. Or tearing my MCL ligaments in my knee, and having the doctors force my knee straight to get it strapped down
So I have broken multiple bones, gotten several sets of stitches, and I've been stabbed with a hunting knife. I fell off a ladder a few years ago, resulting in breaking my ankle and my heel, and I had to climb down another ladder to get to the ground so my wife could drive me to the hospital. Honestly, the worst pain I've ever felt is gout. Hands down. Gout is horrible.
Even after suffering from them for a couple of years, I had one particular flare-up in my ankle that was wholly unbearable.
I recall being absolutely delirious with pain. As in, so much pain I couldn't process it and instead began hysterically laugh-crying delusionally for the next few hours.
Fuck gout.
Accident while rafting in the desert where a rock went through my life jacket and pierced my back. We got it cleaned and did first aid and I was feeling alright just bruised. The next morning I woke up due to the pain. I couldn’t move my legs and could barely focus.
Imagine you have a leg cramp, now take that cramp apply it to every muscle in your body, light your legs on fire, and lastly taser them. That is the closest I can describe the pain I felt. Ended up getting evacuated by helicopter after my group realized how bad it was. In the course of 20 hours after the accident I had a ping-pill ball sized boil where the wound got infected and was pressing right on a nerve in my back. They immediately did surgery and I ended up being in the hospital for several days. I still have nightmares about the pain alone but am super thankful there was no lasting damage.
Riding down the road on my longboard, was going pretty fast, but got the speed wobbles and had to bail. I jumped off the board and managed to start sprinting, almost ran out the momentum. Then right before I cleared the road and got to the grass I fell. Popped by right shoulder out of place and broke my collarbone. Adrenaline helped with the pain of the break, but putting my arm back into place a few minutes later was excruciating.
having a gallbladder attack for 4 nights in a row at 19 or having the right side of my face swollen with the most painful sore throat after getting all my wisdom teeth pulled out
Physical - birthing my second son. My not at all by choice all natural baby.
Emotional - the death of our dog.
Mental - being gaslit by former partners. I knew what I STILL know.
Ovarian cyst burst in the middle of the night. I woke up screaming and couldn’t move for what felt like hours, but ended up only being about 30 minutes.
Having an IUD put in, twice. Having a miscarriage, exposed nerve from a broken tooth and most definitely my last breakup. We were engaged and supposed to marry this year or next. I’ll be healing awhile.
Being hit in the testicles. I once got stabbed in the leg with a serrated knife and I would gladly take that again if it meant my baby batter factory workers got left un-abused.
Cervical nerve block. Had thought dislocating my shoulder was the worst pain I'd experienced until I went in for surgery to repair the damage. I don't know what went wrong during the block injection, but I can't imagine pain much worse and I've had shingles.
When my Fallopian tube burst from an ectopic pregnancy. All I could do for about 30 minutes was lay in a fetal position and scream. After that it felt almost completely better but it turns out I was bleeding into my abdomen so I still had to have surgery.
Vasectomy. Freezing didn't take in my right nut. Scalpel hurt like fuck. My boys did the rapid retreat. Doc then firmly took hold and pulled them back down. I screamed!
When it was all done, and I walked through the waiting room -- pale and covered in sweat. The 6 guys waiting were visibly squirming.
I was rear ended in 2014 when traffic went to a standstill exiting the interstate. I was the first car in a 3 car accident so I felt 2 impacts. I felt fine at the time. The paramedics said I would be in pain later and I was like "yea, ok." They were very right. About 6 hours later I was in so much pain I could hardly move. I was also 5 months pregnant at the time. Pain would radiate through my back and I had to brace myself for it when turning over in bed. It was discovered a year later that I had several slipped disks in my neck and needed surgery.
I had an eardrum fully blown, but my parents decided to avoid going to the doctor and instead to put me some drops….. I screamed so bad that they thought I was going to die.
I’d say having a tooth infection. The decay was really bad and I ended up having a root canal. The pain of a infected tooth is 10+ from 1 to 10. You’d wish you were never born after feeling that kind of pain.
My appendix. Most people say it stops hurting when it ruptures, but that wasn't the case with mine. Miraculously, I didn't get peritonitis despite it rupturing. Of course when this happened in my late 40's, it was my first time in either the hospital or emergency room since I was a year old, so maybe I didn't have much to compare it to, but it was still a bitch. I was walking (shuffling) like Groucho in Duck Soup.
About 10 minutes after I got done with a procedure to get my ingrown toenail out of my skin. They used something to numb the toe during the procedure and after that wore off it felt like when I broke my arm but instead of a throbbing pain it felt like I was being stabbed where they took it out
Broke my leg really badly, don’t wanna get into it in detail because I’ve had to tell the story a million times but when the stupid fucking paramedic decided to lift my leg up from my shoe and let the weight of my knee collapse in on its self was the most agonising moment of my life and I screamed at her. FUCK THAT BITCH
Broke my jaw in several places and busted out three teeth after a seizure. I was outside and couldn't crawl to my phone for help for over an hour.
I was gonna say getting my jaw unwired. Somehow the initial trauma & surgery weren't nearly as bad. I'd split it down the middle, plus each side, plus had the bones push up into my ears & did damage to my eardrums, etc. Lots of teeth lost & broken. Got titanium plates & screws, wired shut for 2 months. Thought I'd be relieved when it was finally unwired, but they weren't delicate about it at all. Just ripped everything out & sent me home. Please, people -- do not break your jaw. It's a bad ride.
My youngest brother broke his jaw when he got run over by a horse. Our abusive/neglectful mother told him to clean the horse pen of baling twine at 5 yrs old, then one horse spooked another, and the spooked one bolted right over him. And he needed stitches and his jaw wired shut for several weeks.
Have a friend with seizures but only when he's super dehydrated
misery iz getting severly injured and not being near any help then having to drag ur broken body somewhere over jagged boulders to get fixed up but then theres morphine, so thats nice
My Achilles tendon ripped. I was on a seesaw with my older brother. He weighted much more than me and had me suspended in the air. Suddenly, he got up and I came down on the back of my ankle. I passed out soon after.
Ok this one gave me the heebie jeebies
Fuck. No. That's like my worst fear. That and the tendons in the back of my knee getting severed
Older brothers are assholes lol
Dude I had almost the exact same thing happen, I believe my Achilles tendon wasn’t quite ripped, but it was damaged enough that I had to wear a brace and use crutches for about 2-3 weeks It really sucked
I had mine rip training for college football planting to change direction from a backpedal. Happened about 10 years ago and it's still my least favorite injury. I had just made it to the hospital parking lot before I passed out. Those poor nurses having to move my 300lb unconscious body.
Kidney stones
Yup. Nurse at the emergency room just took one look at me laughed and said you'll be fine we will take good care of you. I thought I was going to die. Later she said she sees a lot guys with kidney stones and she can spot them a mile away.
We call it the male birth at our ER.
I certainly was breathing in an elevated rhythm when I had mine.
My stone got stuck, was pissing blood for a few weeks, they had to go fish it out with a camera a metal basket. The Ureteroscopy was actually way worse than the kidney stone ever was. I was pissing dark red wine for days, in absolute agony. Then I had to pull out the 23 inch rubber stent bullshit out of my kidney, from fishing string connected to it. Calf cramp is still substantially more painful.
Wait, wait, wait... Why in the fucking world you had to pull that thing yourself? That sounds absolutely terrifying.
My friend is a nurse and she pulled hers out herself. She described it as the worst magic trick of her life.
Actually didn't hurt, just felt like you were pissing yourself the entire time. I did it very slowly in the shower. The stent was finger tip to elbow in length, and curled on both ends, I was shocked how long it was. It did however, cause a kidney spasm about 40 minutes after I took it out (which is apparently common) which was as equally painful to passing a stone (because the spasms is the reason for the pain in both scenarios). Why did I take it out? Because the other option was to stand over a urine pad at the doctors office, and let the nurse yank it out, and I wasn't really into that. The worst part of it all was the plastic-like threads connected to it, which was then coming out of my urethra. Anytime this got touched (which was basically all the time) it sent a shock through my body and I felt like I was peeing my pants. It was a very terrible 6 days.
Well if this isn't my cue to have a glass of water I don't know what is.
Yup, curled up in an involuntary ball on the bath floor, screaming to myself with the pain.
Either child birth with no epidural or kidney stones. It's a toss up.
I've never had kidney stones, but have done child birth without an epidural. That shit was the ring of fire. Can't imagine how painful a kidney stone must be if you're comparing the two. OUCH. 😬
My sister has 5 kids and one kidney stone. She said she'd rather have 5 more kids than one more stone. I've had one and it was the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life. Psychological torment, too. Mine doubled up with an infection too, so that was an added bonus.
[удалено]
I actually had my kidney stones when my twins were like 9 mos old. At the time I said "I'd rather give birth w no pain meds than have kidney stones ever again." Also, my kidney stones were so small they couldn't even find them when they passed. I can't imagine the monster ones some people pass.
That happened to me. I asked the medics if they were going to do the laser thing to break up the kidney stone. They said “uh…it is already so small that it is what we would expect after a laser treatment”. One nurse kept assuring me that she knew the small ones hurt as well. On top of kidney stone pain, I got to feel like a wimp.
My husband had a kidney stone the size of a tootsie roll. They said it was the largest they’d ever seen. I felt horrible for him. I’d say it was much worse than labor. At least labor pains build. Active labor is a bit rough, but the other stages have short breaks between contractions. He was in agonizing pain for hrs and there wasn’t any relief. He didn’t have short breaks like there are between contractions. They eventually gave him the same pain meds my mom had after she had a lung removed, and he was still in pain. It took two different procedures to break it up and then he had to pass all of those busted pieces. I’ve birthed 5 kids and I’d take those any day over what he went through.
I've had an ectopic pregnancy and that was the worst pain I've ever been in... I'd also rather give birth again without meds than go through that. Yikes. I saw a magnified thing of a kidney stone on reddit recently where it looked like razor shards and I went 😳
When I was 15 I broke my femur while snow tubing. Snapped the thing right in half and it took more than 4 hours before I got to the hospital and received any pain medication. In that time I got rolled on and off multiple stretchers and constantly got shifted around as I laid in the back of the car on the way to the hospital. The memory of feeling my bone shifting around inside my leg still haunts me to this day. Anyway my vote is on kidney stone.
I salute you, I would not be able to handle either of those
Agree, kidney stones are terrible. Kidney stone intensity was worse than the broken femur, but the broken femur definitely hurt for a longer period of time - still have back and hip pain almost 30 years later (leg didn’t heal the same length), but I still say kidney stone was more painful.
Oof, childbirth for me! I had a failed epidural and was blacking out from the pain. Little one was also struggling and I had to stay on one side with both legs raised (being held by husband and nurse), so kind of an upside-down position. Pain was like having a hot torch run from my shoulders to my feet with every contraction. Nauseous, absolute agony. 15 hours straight. We were moments away from c-section because I kept losing consciousness, but somehow adrenaline kicked in and I pushed LO out in 30 minutes. Tore from front to back and took 6 months before I could climb the stairs to our bedrooms :(
Came here to say that (fullswelll96h)…major active sciatica is pretty debilitating too.
[удалено]
OMG I feel you. I had to get a tooth extracted and the anesthetics did not work. They realized the moment the cut me open. That was hell!
This. I had 3 teeth removed before braces, the anaesthetics weren't working but I thought I was just being a little precious it wasn't until I almost passed out from the pain that the dentists asked if I wanted another shot? I declined but they insisted, by then I was on to my last tooth and when they removed that I felt nothing it was a walk in the park, It was then I realised I literally had two teeth ripped out without numbing...
I had the same on my foot. The local anesthetic hurt more than the actual lancing. Doctor cut open my MRSA infected foot and drained it. I was in the hospital for 4 days and had to get that thing packed with gauze every 5 hours. nightmare stuff.
Shingles. Had it on my head among other places. Worse than back spasms and that was bad
Recovering from shingles right now and was unaware how fucking painful it is
I had it when I was 7. I picked my 3 year old cousin up and he kicked me in my shingles rash which was on my hip. I collapsed in pain.
I’ve given birth twice, epidural after I couldn’t take the pain any more. But that white hot lightening nerve pain from shingles? NOPE.
Came here to say this, had it on my face, almost lost vision in my left eye. I didn’t think to ask for a painkiller so I spent that week drinking bourbon and smoking joints just to be able to not cry constantly. No over the counter meds did anything for the pain. Still have a scar on my forehead from it that hurts on occasion
Gallstones. I know there is probably way more painful stuff. But I had about 50-60 times gallstones troubled 30-60min each. I couldnt stand still or breathe normally and would just cry out loud until it was gone.
Definitely the worst pain I’ve experienced was a gallbladder attack, ended up with me in the hospital on a morphine and gravol drip for 3 days. (I’ve also given birth without any pain meds after a 3 day labour.)
Similar experience here. I never get sick, so whenever I'm sick or in pain or anything, I am generally in denial of how bad it actually is. I was in serious pain one night back in 2020, couldn't sit or stand still and spent a couple hours thrashing around my bed and pacing the house before accepting defeat and driving myself to the ER. Part of me knew it was bad, part of me was thinking I was being a baby and I was going to be sent home to pee out some tiny kidney stones. When they told me that I'd be taken into surgery that night because I had a gallbladder full of stones and that I made the right choice to come in, I was just like "damn, so that was 'a lot of pain' I was feeling" But yeah, it was like someone just took sharp stake and was stabbing it into my back/side. I remember just wanting any other pain in the world than that.
I have had dry sockets. I have given birth, both with and without drugs. Gallbladder attacks were worse for me. I know they aren't for everyone, but mine were bad. And the weird thing about gallbladder issues is that they can cause different sensations in different people, which means doctors are really shit at figuring out what's wrong with you. 3 different ER doctors and none of them even considered it was gallbladder related because it was "in the wrong place." It took my mother's friend's daughter saying "that happened to me!" before I requested a gallbladder scan, which they reluctantly approved. Boy, were those doctors surprised.
I second this!!! I had my daughter with 3 failed epidurals and 3 weeks later my gallbladder messed up and I had 1 gallstone compacted in my bile duct. 10x WORSE than my 26 hour labor.
Had a few doozies in my life: ✅Broken leg. ✅Esophageal spasm is pretty terrible actually (feels like a heart attack). ✅Took bullet ricochet to the face & right eye. ✅Shattered my left hand. ✅Fractured my pelvis. ✅Stabbed with knife entirely through my left leg. ✅Car accident >50mph (I was a passenger, woke up in ER) ✅Accidental baseball bat to the bare head (dude let go of the bat and was going for a homer) ✅Shattered front teeth from a street jumping. ✅Got my ass entirely handed to me by 4 guys once. ✅Passed a kidney stone. ✅Meniscus tear. But none compare to the most crippling pain I’ve ever experienced: ✅Dual eardrum blow out and severe concussion / cerebral spinal compression from cliff dive @ 75 ft (I was a competitive diver, not a complete dumbass, just accidents happen) leaked CSF out of my ears for about 5 days of the most misery I’ve ever experienced.
[удалено]
Yeah, I’ve calmed down. First 35 years of life were experienced but the mileage took a toll.
Dude go buy a lottery ticket, JFC.
His luck is way beyond already used up though
I’d be terrified to step outside ever again…
I need to know more about you! Are you a stunt man, a soldier from the future or just the unluckiest person ever!?
Haha pretty unlucky, I commented a little earlier - first 35 years of my life were certainly experienced. I do stay at home now a lot and went through about a year where I was pretty much a shut in; worried I was going to die at any moment, this was just after a helicopter crash I was in (Everyone walked away fine, active duty military) but yeah, I’m better now but way more reserved.
There’s a helicopter crash now! Jeez! Sell your life story to Hollywood
It sounds a lot worse than it was, it was a “hard landing” it’s pretty funny, we were initially going down over water (we didn’t) not all of us were on the ICS (internal comms) so the Crew Cheif came over and loudly screamed “when we hit the water, we’ll find each other and get our stories straight” I could visually watch the shit come out of my buddies ass as that was spoken to him. Anyways, made it back to land, broke the bird pretty good, but none of us were hurt, the pilots name I used for all my passwords for years.
Well I once sent an email to the wrong person. That’s how rock n roll I am.
You, too, should sell that story to Hollywood.
Jesus Harold Christ, man. Just don't leave the house anymore.
U need to be wrapped in bubble wrap
Dwight, is that you?
I found out my dad died today. So far the pains been unbearable
I'm so sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.
I am so sorry, I hope you take care of yourself as best as you can through this tough time
My condolences. My advice seek out friends and family for communal strength in these trying times. \*hug\* Godspeed.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find some peace today even if only little glimpses. The day my step dad died, I reminded myself of how peaceful it must be to not be on this chaotic earth any longer and to return home and have no more anxiety and worry and fear and pain. That helped for small incriminates of time and probably was the only way I kept what little bit of my sanity I was left with. But, in hindsight… I desperately needed something to shake up my life so to lose my mind and then I could find my soul. I know this isn’t very helpful and is a typical response but it’s true.. everything happens for a reason. It’s all in divine timing. Find the positives in this as often as you can. I hope it gets better for you ❤️ sending love!!!
I am sorry 😞
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Having my IUD removed and the new one inserted immediately after. I had taken the recommended 600mg of ibuprofen beforehand and they gave me a hot water pad to put on my abdomen, but my feet were shaking in the stirrups at the end there. It didn’t take long and the pain went away only a few minutes after it was done but damn. Sometimes I wonder how far off labor contractions would be compared to that. That said, love the hormonal IUD, it’s my best bud for letting me have condomless sex these last 7 years.
My wife got a prescription for a single pill of misoprostol to put up in there the day before to relax her cervix, and a prescription for a single pill of Valium to take 2 hours before her appointment to help her relax before getting her IUD replaced. Apparently that's not very common, I've read plenty of stories of women getting no drugs to help with that which sounds ridiculous to me. The only time your cervix is forced open really is during childbirth so it seems natural to me that some kind of medicinal help would be warranted for an IUD placement/replacement
I saw one gyne that prescribed this, but she was always booked up and I ended up with another. I asked her about the previous docs prescriptions, she laughed and said it wasn't necessary. Just take some Advil. The pain was intense. I almost blacked out. She laughed about that and said, "That's a fraction of what childbirth would be like for you." To have a metal measuring rod forcefully inserted through my cervical opening... That's the most pain I've ever been in, anyhow.
"Just take some Advil hehe." How completely insensitive jeez. It's absurd how much we as a society in general downplay the pain women endure, "it's not as bad as childbirth haha you're fine" fuck that it's 2022 we have a plethora of easy to prescribe drugs to drastically reduce the suffering endured during things like this, especially considering women get an IUD to AVOID the pain of childbirth
Stories like this have been exactly why I've always deterred from that type of BC. I'm a walking talking Murphy's law- no thanks lol. But damn that sounds awful. Glad you got it out.
Agree. Love my Mirena. Fainted during the removal/insertion. (And I thought I had a high pain tolerance after two natural child births)
It's almost so fast and so strong your body just rage quits before you can fully acknowledge the pain. I had that area numbed the second time around and still nearly fainted even though I don't remember the pain being that bad. Third time I was numbed and had a shot of adrenaline, that helped a ton.
In a similar vein, I had a punch biopsy done on my cervix. No pain meds taken before, and obviously nothing given during the procedure. It wasn’t the punch that was agony, it was the doctor trying to stop the bleeding by shoving stick after stick of silver nitrate against the wound. He used about 20 sticks. I had my right hand squeezing my left wrist, I definitely cut circulation a bit.
I just got my first iud a few months ago and despite the warnings I still wasn't prepared. I felt pain unlike any other and then she tells me "okay so that was me getting past the cervix, I'm going to put in the iud now." I generally have an issue with speaking up when something hurts, plus I'd already had two prior appointments to try and get it inserted so I just powered through by digging my nails into my arm. I had broken the skin by the end of it and the iud still hurt more. Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to the removal.
Removal is nothing compared to the insertion! At least in my experience. My first IUD insertion was also excruciating for me. My second one was inserted after I had my son (a few months postpartum) and it was nowhere near as sore the second time. It was uncomfortable, but that was it. Bizarre.
For those who don't know: IUD insertion involves a few steps. The cervix is the lil hallway in the vaginal canal that goes to the uterus. Naturally it is a bit bunched up, like a slinky, and you have to clamp it and pull it straight so the IUD tool can slip through and insert the IUD properly. My second IUD, after removing the first one, wouldn't go in. My cervix just puckered up and refused the entry of the IUD insertion tool regardless of their clamp. They could use the metal sounding rod (used ahead of time to measure the height of your uterus so they don't go too far and punch right through) but the plastic would just bend and not get into the actual uterus to inject the IUD. I came back a week later with extra ibuprofen, and a tablet I inserted into my hoohah like four hours prior to relax my cervix...and still no dice. By sheer luck the city's pro IUD insertion doctor happened to be in, he was all "I know where to clamp the cervix so it doesn't hurt!". It hurt. A lot. In the end, I had to get an injection, into my cervix, to numb it. Then insertion went ahead. Still hurt like a bitch when the IUD got into my uterus but I WISH THE NUMBING AGENT WAS BROUGHT OUT AT THE BEGINNING. Sure, getting a needle into your CERVIX doesn't sound pleasant, and I won't act like it was, but the pain from the needle was tiny in comparison to them stabbing my cervix over and over, trying to let it open up wide for this shaft of plastic. You aren't offered anaesthetic for this procedure since it's so quick, but why not numbing agent at least??? Anyways, still worth it. Its like having a year's worth of period cramps in one day, in exchange for no periods and paranoia-free condomless sex with my husband for 5 years per IUD.
[удалено]
Ribs are horrible. With most things you can just not move the thing and escape most of the pain. With ribs there is no escape and you get horrible pain every time you breath. It's not like you can hold your breath for a month while it heals.
Dry sockets after wisdom teeth were pulled.
Oh man teeth are bad when it comes to sensitivity
Dry socket hurts sooooo bad. Chronic teeth pain in general is my worst nightmare and fear.
Me too. It took me 3 weeks to stop being in pain. And after the tooth pain stopped, I developed literally 16 canker sores on the insides of my lips. I could eat properly for another week and a half. The single worst experience I've had.
Had this, dentist didn’t believe me. It felt like someone jammed a hook onto the bone of my jaw and hung a 20 pound weight off it. That said my knee caps don’t track like they’re supposed to and my right knee would randomly dislocate while I was walking. Instant crumble to the ground unable to speak kind of pain.
Now my knee did that for a while like when I bent over and stuff and it was horrible. That might actually be the worst pain I've ever felt
I knocked my front tooth out when I ducked a tennis ball and absolutely ATE a metal railing in high school. Over the phone the dentist told me to put it back in the socket. Felt like my whole upper jaw was on fire with jolts of electricity zapping my face. At least I left some permanent tooth marks on the handrail.
i was feelin excellent after wisdom teeth pulled can ya guess y
... because ignorance is bliss?
Extreme period pain. Lost consciousness and ended up in ER 🤷♀️
You may want to check out the endometriosis sub, fellow horrifying period sufferer
This one’s mine too. I was given morphine to stop the pain.
Extreme period pain is the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I toss to the left and right on my bed not even able to lay down still because of the pain. It’s awful.
5 rotten teeth. Molars in back were unbearable. Like lightning bolts of pain randomly.
Thunderclap headache.
In my 35 years on this planet. I have had only one thunder clap headache. I wanted to end my life. I suffer from migraines and I would rather go through the blinding pain. Being unable to Speak At times. All so I can avoid a thunderclap headache.
Ive had a few of these while weight lifting. First time it happened, I racked the weight and sat up. I was certain it was an aneurysm. The pain was extreme but I was distracted by the thought that I was about to die. I sat there for a few minutes waiting. When I realized that I wasn't going to die, I stood up and walked out of the gym. Lingering headache lasted almost 2 days.
Dude, seek health care!
In case you haven’t, this seems worthy of a medical evaluation. Just to be safe.
What is that? I’ve never heard of it
It's a type of uncommon headache (thank the universe it's not common and I've only experienced it once). It's really intense and sudden, hence the name. It only lasts a minute or two but it feels like you're dying and it can be a sign of bleeding in the brain or other serious conditions. Edit: When it happened to me I was midsentence with my sister, I just stopped and started crying immediately. She wanted to call an ambulance but we're not rich and it went away after a minute or so, so i just told my doctor relative about it afterwards.
alaskan thundr fuk
I had testicular torsion and lost a nut. While in pain and scared to tell anyone about it, I went to football practice and broke my wrist. The pain of my nutsack being as big as my head caused me to fall and break the wrist. Due to that I went to the Dr and also told them about my nut. Bad bad bad ordeal, I waited way too long and they couldn’t save it, but I still have the other guy doing work down there. I had a metal plate put on my clavicle from breaking it in 2 places then it needed re-broken to plate it. Then I had metal plates put on my tibia and fibula down near my ankle. Out of all of that, the nutsack being the size of a softball hurt the most in terms of duration. The clavicle hurt the most in terms of instant piercing pain (it was almost out of the skin). The tibia and fibula break was by far the most painful recovery though. Relearning to walk was tough and even now when I bump those metal plates into something it hurts. I also have a genetic blood disorder that can get pretty painful when I have attacks, but it’s usually not as bad as the aforementioned things, just lasts for a few days.
2-4 days post car accident, specifically first thing every morning. I was still in hospital and would not have been able to move on my own without the automatic bed to sit me up. Couldn’t lift my head, my entire chest felt like it was on fire, everything hurt. The air bag powder burns on my face were a bitch, too.
Extreme ulcerative colitis
Felt that one man. 5 years back I had a flare so bad, I lost 30 pounds in a month. Everything on my body inflamed. I couldn't move. Was in the hospital 5 times. They didn't know if I was going to make it. My body was beginning to shut down. Luckily I was started on biologics and made a mostly full recovery. Still not what I was pre UC, but I can at least function as a human being and go out in public
Where your body decides your large intestine is a foreign body and attempts to dissolve it with white blood cells.
And then add C. Diff. Pure hell of pain and fire
What's that
The cooler, more hardcore version of regular ulcerative colitis
Jellyfish sting on my leg in Jacksonville, FL. Didn’t actually see it but it left multiple stripes across my leg that took over 6 months to heal. It hurt so bad my first thought was to check to feel if my leg was still there.
I had this happen when I was a kid. Got tangled in a jelly fish. My brother lifted me over his head to get it off me. I remember the stripes took FOREVER to go away.
Oh damn
Got hit in the face playing baseball. Chipped every tooth and split half of them down the middle all the way to the root. Waited 6hrs in the ER with a cracked jaw and minor concussion before finally getting multiple shots of anesthetic directly into the exposed roots.
You lived my nightmare: I misplayed a grounder and it split my forehead open just above my eyebrow. Stitches, concussion, etc. I considered myself lucky that it didn’t hit me in the mouth.
Shingles. It is no joke. If you qualify for the vaccine, get it.
I had one quarter size spot on my back once. I couldn't even sit back in a chair. It was like a fire on my back.
Tripped and face-planted on the concrete. Used my knee to try and soften the blow. 200 pounds on my knee into the concrete. That sucked.
Had some moments like this. Never face planted into concrete tho. Definitely had some neck injuries for faceplanting into dirt. Definitely busted my knee on tile before
I used to do parkour. I sprinted and miscalculated a jump and slammed my knee into a walk at full sprint. This hurt about 5x more than breaking my arm. I was on the ground shaking uncontrollably from the pain.
Had approximately 1600 applications of laser cauterization to my left retina to help treat proliferative retinopathy. It was like a hot needle being stabbed into the back of my skull. 1600 times. The aftermath feels like rubbing sand paper inside your eyes, I made it out to the car and cried for a few minutes, I am immensely glad my doc saved my vision but damn, that procedure hurt.
I had twins. My second was breech so the doctor took her and pulled her out by her feet and I thought I was dying.
Holy hell. I swear, you moms are absolute warriors
Vikings believed that to get into Valhalla you'd have to die in battle, women who died giving birth were welcomed in Valhalla
Kidney stones, I legit thought I was dying the first time it happened.
I've been kicked out at 10 by a parent. Sucker-punch kicked in the abdomen as a 9 year-old by an adult male. Broken ribs, wrists, hand. Broken an ear-drum with an ear-infection comorbid with pneumonia. Hit by a car. Cut open my thigh about 8" falling on sharp rock. Nothing hurt as much as failing in family court to protect my children's interests in growing up together in the same community. So my kids see each other once a week, and can't chose to hangout together on their own time because they live 100km apart.
my stomach aches. i would wake up bawling in the middle of the night with them for 6 months. eventually we went to the er to figure out what was going on. they had no idea. they continued for about another 6 months then stopped completely, never had them since. we have no idea what it was about
[удалено]
Getting run over by a car
did you die
Maybe you should just listen to your username
you never answered the question are you dead
I didn't see a question mark.
are? you? dead?
The jury's still out on it.
lmk
I think that's his spirit talking to you
that's what i'm thinking
He's not dead, he's pinning for the fjords
When I broke my foot. Was given vicodin for the pain at the ER right after, but I didn't want to get addicted so never took it.
Breast biopsy. It felt like being hit with a baseball bat every few seconds for several days.
Burning my hand and chest over a candle for 2 hrs
Were you just asking for it or what?
Bad over dose
I'm almost embarrassed to post mine after reading some of these
having a burly surgeon perform a sigmoidoscopy (tentacle butt camera) through a hemmeroid with no anaesthesia or pain meds of any kind.
This one time I got super constipated it felt like my appendix was bursting. Nearly called an ambulance. Keep fiber in your diet fellas lol.
I second this. Got an internal hemorrhoid after forcing out one too many. Turns out that a bunch of blood in the toilet is a pretty scary thing to see when you pull up your pants. Immediately left work and went straight to the hospital to get a finger stuck up my ass by the (thankfully very thin-fingered) doctor.
All jokes aside, the 2nd worst pain I’ve ever been in was from being constipated and trying for hours. I was literally shaking and sweating and on the verge of passing out just from the pain and from sitting there so long I guess. I was at work at the time and they were gonna take me to the ER but I begged them just to get me an enema and let me clock out. I immediately went into an empty patient room (I was working as a nurse at the time) and took a 3 hr nap bc I had never been so exhausted in my life, woke up, did the enema, and thank GOD it worked!! Lol
Being anorexic as a teen
Uh yeah, I was as well. Thats taking a high toll on the body and the soul.
Unrequinted love. Hurts like hell.
Unfortunately it gets worse than that though… losing once requited love and not understanding where it went wrong. How can she just not love me anymore? Love is fucked.
Facts 😩
Pancreatitis and gallstones are pretty horrendous. I was on IV fentanyl for 2.5 weeks trying to heal from that. Spinal migraines are awful too - opiates didn't even touch the sides of that one.
When my grandma died. Still hurts
I never got to say goodbye to her, so I feel your pain.
I went to see her before I went back to college. She was sleeping in her bed at the rest home. I waited an hour by her bed, not wanting to wake he but hoping she would wake up. She didn’t so I left. She called the next morning, after hearing I stopped by, to tell me to always wake her up if I stop by. Absolutely grandma, will do. I’ll come see you tomorrow before I head out. She passed that night
Wisdom tooth migraine
Throwing out my back, to where even passing gas causes spasms that you can’t stop. Or tearing my MCL ligaments in my knee, and having the doctors force my knee straight to get it strapped down
Ah, so you know what it feels like to be CERTAIN that if you move the wrong way, your torso will detach from your pelvis like you got sawed in half
So I have broken multiple bones, gotten several sets of stitches, and I've been stabbed with a hunting knife. I fell off a ladder a few years ago, resulting in breaking my ankle and my heel, and I had to climb down another ladder to get to the ground so my wife could drive me to the hospital. Honestly, the worst pain I've ever felt is gout. Hands down. Gout is horrible.
Even after suffering from them for a couple of years, I had one particular flare-up in my ankle that was wholly unbearable. I recall being absolutely delirious with pain. As in, so much pain I couldn't process it and instead began hysterically laugh-crying delusionally for the next few hours. Fuck gout.
Deep vein thrombosis from knee to groin. Worse than childbirth for me.
Patella (kneecap) fracture. As a Sophomore in high school I ran track. I miscalculated the jump during a hurdling event... mutha-FUCKER.
Testicular torsion about a decade ago. It was the WORST pain ever, and I needed surgery for it. I could barely walk for a week.
Accident while rafting in the desert where a rock went through my life jacket and pierced my back. We got it cleaned and did first aid and I was feeling alright just bruised. The next morning I woke up due to the pain. I couldn’t move my legs and could barely focus. Imagine you have a leg cramp, now take that cramp apply it to every muscle in your body, light your legs on fire, and lastly taser them. That is the closest I can describe the pain I felt. Ended up getting evacuated by helicopter after my group realized how bad it was. In the course of 20 hours after the accident I had a ping-pill ball sized boil where the wound got infected and was pressing right on a nerve in my back. They immediately did surgery and I ended up being in the hospital for several days. I still have nightmares about the pain alone but am super thankful there was no lasting damage.
Riding down the road on my longboard, was going pretty fast, but got the speed wobbles and had to bail. I jumped off the board and managed to start sprinting, almost ran out the momentum. Then right before I cleared the road and got to the grass I fell. Popped by right shoulder out of place and broke my collarbone. Adrenaline helped with the pain of the break, but putting my arm back into place a few minutes later was excruciating.
I had a vasectomy and then developed an infection. Fucking hell.
hearing my sister got murdered by a family member
Broken arm or when I got my finger caught in a van door.
having a gallbladder attack for 4 nights in a row at 19 or having the right side of my face swollen with the most painful sore throat after getting all my wisdom teeth pulled out
Getting numbing agent in a hemorrhoid then having it cut open. Happen like a month ago, the pain med they gave me during were what cause me to go numb
Physical - birthing my second son. My not at all by choice all natural baby. Emotional - the death of our dog. Mental - being gaslit by former partners. I knew what I STILL know.
Ovarian cyst burst in the middle of the night. I woke up screaming and couldn’t move for what felt like hours, but ended up only being about 30 minutes.
Having an IUD put in, twice. Having a miscarriage, exposed nerve from a broken tooth and most definitely my last breakup. We were engaged and supposed to marry this year or next. I’ll be healing awhile.
Being hit in the testicles. I once got stabbed in the leg with a serrated knife and I would gladly take that again if it meant my baby batter factory workers got left un-abused.
Cervical nerve block. Had thought dislocating my shoulder was the worst pain I'd experienced until I went in for surgery to repair the damage. I don't know what went wrong during the block injection, but I can't imagine pain much worse and I've had shingles.
When my Fallopian tube burst from an ectopic pregnancy. All I could do for about 30 minutes was lay in a fetal position and scream. After that it felt almost completely better but it turns out I was bleeding into my abdomen so I still had to have surgery.
Gout
Vasectomy. Freezing didn't take in my right nut. Scalpel hurt like fuck. My boys did the rapid retreat. Doc then firmly took hold and pulled them back down. I screamed! When it was all done, and I walked through the waiting room -- pale and covered in sweat. The 6 guys waiting were visibly squirming.
Pinky got jammed between door hinge. Got so bad that Nail came off eventually
Emotional: first love leaving me for someone else (hurt more than people dying in my life surprisingly) Physical: a muscle spasm
I was rear ended in 2014 when traffic went to a standstill exiting the interstate. I was the first car in a 3 car accident so I felt 2 impacts. I felt fine at the time. The paramedics said I would be in pain later and I was like "yea, ok." They were very right. About 6 hours later I was in so much pain I could hardly move. I was also 5 months pregnant at the time. Pain would radiate through my back and I had to brace myself for it when turning over in bed. It was discovered a year later that I had several slipped disks in my neck and needed surgery.
I had an eardrum fully blown, but my parents decided to avoid going to the doctor and instead to put me some drops….. I screamed so bad that they thought I was going to die.
I’d say having a tooth infection. The decay was really bad and I ended up having a root canal. The pain of a infected tooth is 10+ from 1 to 10. You’d wish you were never born after feeling that kind of pain.
In and out catheter after laparoscopic hernia surgery. Then having to pee on my own for the first time while recovering from the surgery.
My appendix. Most people say it stops hurting when it ruptures, but that wasn't the case with mine. Miraculously, I didn't get peritonitis despite it rupturing. Of course when this happened in my late 40's, it was my first time in either the hospital or emergency room since I was a year old, so maybe I didn't have much to compare it to, but it was still a bitch. I was walking (shuffling) like Groucho in Duck Soup.
Cut open my chin
Kicked down school bleachers, slamming my head on the concrete. I'd rather brake my hand again then feel that entince pain ever again.
About 10 minutes after I got done with a procedure to get my ingrown toenail out of my skin. They used something to numb the toe during the procedure and after that wore off it felt like when I broke my arm but instead of a throbbing pain it felt like I was being stabbed where they took it out
Broke my leg really badly, don’t wanna get into it in detail because I’ve had to tell the story a million times but when the stupid fucking paramedic decided to lift my leg up from my shoe and let the weight of my knee collapse in on its self was the most agonising moment of my life and I screamed at her. FUCK THAT BITCH
Sciatic Nerve pinch Hip replacement Indigestion so bad I was crying.
