What was the most bodily pain you've ever had?

KIDNEY STONES

Migraine

Insertion of Mirena coil. They didn't mention pain when we originally discussed it, when I arrived they asked if I'd taken any medication, I said oh no don't worry and they said "oh. Most people take some p********** before they arrive" I asked "why? Is it painful?" And they said there was some discomfort for some people. The physical agony I experienced was like something from a horror movie.

teeth

Kidney stone. I’ve give birth to a 7.5lb baby unmedicated and I’d do it a thousand times over a kidney stone.

tooth ache

Toothache

Getting kicked in the nuts.

Broken finger toes

Oh man… Probably when I tore a muscle running. Felt like my leg was trying to leave my body.

My pancreas stopped working. I cant describe the feeling. But its not fun.

KIDNEY STONES. Although Gastritis I got from severe stress was a horrific runner-up, as it caused a debilitating "belt" of pain around my solar plexus every time I ate *any* food

Gallbladder attacks, worse than childbirth imo.

A stroke…4 days after emergency c section at 41+3 weeks due to placental abruption…following a high risk pregnancy that caused me to be bedridden.

Migraines. I recently had to reevaluate what a 10 is on the pain scale. They sometimes last for 40+ hours.

GOLDEN STAPH INFECTION

I was in a bike accident and tore a kidney open was not nearly as painful on impact as it was whenever I had to move around as it healed

Lost 1.5 toes in a motor bike accident

Giving birth is number one, second worst would be ovarian cyst hemorrhage, third probably fracturing vertebrae.

Had surgery for my appendix then had to go back in due to internal bleeding.

My daughter tried to come out "sunny side up" when she was born. The doctor reached in and flipped her over with forceps. The epidural kept me from feeling everything EXCEPT that.  She'll turn seven in May, and I still have occasional nightmares about that pain. 😅

after surgery!

Knee ligament

Abscessed wisdom tooth.

Severe migraine with a brutal adenomyosis, pelvic and lung endometriosis flare ups that would also cause lung collapses. They were so bad it would cause me to lose consciousness. Much worse then labour or gallbladder attack/stones.

Stomach flu or food poisoning. Not sure which is was, but the pain seemed never ending

The most pain I’ve been in was while dealing with a rather severe case of SVT. Nothing prepares your body for a resting heart rate of 200+ bpm for extended periods of time and it’s just pure agony.

when my back hurt and I was crawling through the pain with tears to the toilet because I couldn't walk or sit

Kidney transplant

One large gallstone that caused numerous gallbladder attacks over 9 months before being removed 🤮 so many times spent at hospital getting pain relief. I feel for anyone that has to deal with those

Ohh one time i had my index finger fractured. Had to get a small metal rod fixed into the top most joint of the index finger. It felt nothing till the anaesthesia was working. But as soon as the anaesthesia wore off, man i have never felt that a small joint could give me so much pain. Never experienced such a pain ever. It felt like my fingers was being stabbed continuously.

Neuralgia

I don't know if this is the right term but stomach cramp. It felt like a big bubble of air comes down from the airway into the stomach repeatedly for like 30min to an hour. The whole time the bubbles move down it hurts like a m***********. So much so that you wrinkle your face and you feel like throwing up.

After surgery recovery

When I was 13 I fractured 3 vertebrae, 4 ribs, punctured lung, & concussion in a ski accident. Thankfully I don’t remember the initial pain, but it was a long recovery. I think the emotional trauma my parents went through rivaled my physical trauma. Probably didn’t help when I started skiing again the next winter 😬

Hip replacement

My heartbreak when I had to flush the pin worms crawling in my poop

1 week after my c-section, at a teaching hospital, I went to the ER with 102 degree fever. The medical students pulled open my healing incision without pain medication. I was 21 and dumb had no idea about malpractice lawsuits.

Type 2 trigeminal neuralgia for a year.

Snapped my femur in half and it snagged a nerve. Doctor in the ER told me she was surprised I was conscious after she was told how it happened. And with the utterly incompetent skills of the EMTs I wish I had been out cold for the drive.

Having a large benine cist removed from one of my testicals, I shit you not the recovery was terrible they can’t have been gentle. I’ve had fractured ribs, broken ribs, collapsed lungs among other things but that topped every pain I’ve ever been through

Fell hard, some muscle poked my lungs, couldn’t breathe. Hurt bad, but being fully conscious that I was unable to breathe made it so much worse

i have two incidents, one which seems way worse than it actually was, and one which was SO MUCH WORSE. When I was a teenager playing soccer, i was tackled by a teammate and flipped over, landed on my neck, and snapped a ligament. I was in hospital for 4 days to prevent paralysis, and 5 months in a neck brace, hurt like a b**** but NOTHING compared to an ingrown toenail... Got it removed (cut and ripped out with no anaesthetic) biweekly for 17 years, until I finally got an operation to take the root out, but it grew back ingrown. So 2 weeks ago I got it redone and used acid to burn the nerve endings! WAYYYYY more painful and im currently on crutches for 6 weeks until it heals over.. do NOT underestimate how sore feet can be

Skateboarding, landing on the board upright when the board is longer than your legs. I've broken my arm before, too. Attempting skateboarding tricks is mostly pain.

I was moving into a new place and had a big oak dinner table. My old place had carpet and I was able to put the legs on with the table upside down and then flip it over myself (though it weighs close to 90 pounds or 40kg +). My new place had hard floors so it was too slippery to try and prop the table on the legs and flip it over slowly. I thought I could lift the 6 person table myself and flip it over right side up by taking it fully off of the ground and turning it over. I got about 75% of the way through the flip when it slipped out of my hands and the full weight of the table fell almost a full meter through the air, vertical, and landed on my barefoot toe, completely crushing it between the hard floor and the wood of the table.  That's the only time I've seen blood squirt from my body with every heart beat. While I was screaming I was watching blood shoot across the room every second or so further than you can imagine. I also found it riveting and thought I'd never have another chance so I recorded a few seconds of video of the blood shooting out of my toe.  I got it checked out and I broke multiple bones but my toe healed completely quite quick. The toe nail didn't fall off for like a year. Horrible experience but now I trust instructions that say, "requires a two person lift".

I had a toe-nail surgery. They removed the toe nail and part of the root where it grows fron. My toe felt like it had rhe size of a waterballoon and every heartbeat felt like my toe is expanding to double the size and it hurt. After 2 days it started to get better. On the 3rd day they changed the dressing. The gaze fused itself together with the nailbed. So they had to rip it out in one go. I fainted from the pain.

The day after knee surgery. Some menstrual cramps come pretty close tho

Bleeding internally for a week

Not as bad as others here, but for me rotator cuff tear after doing a stupid stunt on my MTB

Gallstones 🤢

Gallstones attack. Thought I was having a heart attack, and it only got worse from there. Ended up hospitalized, only time in my life I've vomited from pain, was in the hospital for 3 days and had my gallbladder removed.

I dissociate so *I* didn't fully feel it - I stepped off a step and my knee screamed and I nearly went down. Again I dissociate so the pain wasn't pain but it was white hot in my leg and I felt it shoot up to my brain then get ice cold and I knew that I was going to pass out and barely made it back to the porch before I did. So I remember the bad tweak of pain when I stepped off and not pain but the sensation of white hot and going immediately ice cold as I passed out from what I can only assume was pain.

Pancreatitis

ectopic pregnancy. i could hardly see straight it was so painful

Had big toe ingrown toe-nails (part of the nail penetrates skin from inside)...so the governmental hospital in my country said the closest appointment is 3 months ahead, but the pain and discomfort was too severe, so i went to a private clinic and the nurse told me they cannot use the full-numbing anesthesia because it is only allowed in government hospitals, so they used a partial/basic anesthesia and I felt unreal pain because he used a medical tool that was deep in my toe nerves and he was harshly touching the nerves to cut the ingrown nail. Imagine a sharp medical tool, meddling with your nerves and can feel every bit of whats going on...Would not want that on anybody lol. Edit: because i was embarrassed, I asked the nurse afterwards about how loud was my groans and roaring-like sounds whilst he was meddling with my nerves, he said that he was surprised because most people shout uncotrollably lol. So i guess i have good pain tolerance.

I had a really bad cough and I coughed too hard and my side popped. I couldn’t move for a few hours and eventually had to go to a&e

I was 9. Hit by a car. I was 22, broke my nose. But the thing that beats all that... I was 29 and got an dental implant. MY GOD! THE PAIN!

Jet ski accident when I was 18 that did serious damage to my lower back. Despite therapy I still walk with a limp and have numbness in my legs 30 years later. Seriously thought I wouldn’t walk again.

Kidney stones and Gout 🥲

Appendicitis

Meningitis.. so a brain infection that causes it to swell. I thought I had my skull split open in the back with an axe. Thats the closest my imagination got to what it thought was happening. The pain was everything, and then my legs stopped working and I started to curl up in a seizure type of thing. Thought I was going to die from the pain and a big part of me was really hoping it would hurry up. No waiting to go to hospital for me next time that's for sure...

I had to have a spinal fluid sample taken - was told to curl into a ball, had 4 anaesthetic injections around the site, and they just went in on my lower spine with a big ol' needle. I'm usually fine with medical stuff, but this was agony. The fact I also couldn't see what was happening to me made it 100 times worse. I had to have a second one done a few months later, which I knew would happen but knowing how horrible the first one was, it sent me over the edge. Had a full on panic attack, and had to be partially sedated before they could get anywhere near me. The nurses were great, but I absolutely never want to have one of those ever again.

Gout. Fuckin, ow. Also I can't ride my motorcycle when I have a flare up, so it's physical and emotional pain...

I herniated disc by standing up from a couch. My legs gave out and my vision left me for a moment. I spent three hours trying not to scream to not wake the baby. I wished for death for a good portion of that. I couldn't form cohesive thoughts or even move. The pain felt like someone got a running start with sledge hammered me in the spine. When the pain would start to subside and I tried to move a leg or arm, same pain all over again. I've had my hand stitched up with no anesthetic. I've lodged metal into my eye. I've chemical burned my eyes too. But that pain is above all else. I wept like a baby.

Full swing hammered my pinky with a 4lb hammer Popped it, basically

Giving birth I imagine
