Iv'e experienced the worst pain known to man kind...it is called Trigeminal Neauralgia.The pain is excruciating and gives you electric type shocks to the side of your face.It got that bad that i had to have the operation,this involves going under the brain and wrapping the trigeminal nerve with teflon to keep it from touching a blood vessel,this was done in 2007 and have been pain free since.

Another bad one would be child birth,but thats another story

As for emotional pain...yep had a lot of that too.

Broke the arch of my left foot in 5 places,dislocated my ankle & my knee all in the same m'cycle accident.Nearly got hooked on Pethadene.

Mine was'nt a physical injury but local anethestic that went wrong. when i was 35 i decided to have a Local Vasectomy which required  two needles in each teste, the first was ok but the second one, the surgeon must have missed and started cutting and so forth, the pain was so excruciating i could  not talk and the nurse came in and saw the sweat pouring off my head , ask me if i could feel anything ,all i could do was nod my head, the doctor hearing this said ,' I Can't stop now almost finished' thank god i don't have to do that again. p.s. i hope that was not too graphic!

Sorry bulletman, that must've been awful for you. I bet it seemed like forever for him to get done with you.

Had 1st. an 2nd. degree burn that covered 2/3 of my back, and had to have dead skin peeled away several times a week as it healed. I had to take small steps in order to minimize movement in my back and it hurt so bad it would me me sweat and tremble. For the walk home I would bring a pint of vodka and finish it by the time I got across the parking lot, That was the only way I could handle the pain until the freshly exposed nerve endings were not so sensitive against the bandages. I think many doctors just don't realize how much pain their patients are experiencing, and many of those combination drugs are fairly useless for extreme pain.

About 7 years ago, my teeth start to get out of alignment and they all shifted at once.  The excruciating pain was so unbearable, felt like all my teeth were being pulled all at once.

ouch - Did you have to wear braces?

It reminds of the dream I have about my teeth falling out. Ugh.

I've had a broken heart a couple times... but guess I'll have to agree the kidney stones were pretty bad (especially the first one).

I did have an infection in my intestines that I thought was kidney stones so the pain was very similar. When I went to the hospital they admitted me and I was there for almost a week, I would say it was slightly more painful because it was more constant, sometimes kidney stone pain comes and goes.

Oh my gosh leeroy, that sounds awful too. Isn't it crazy that our body can hurt so much and we still get through it.

Yvonne57

leeroy, that's what they said when I was so sick only they gave me several hours instead of a whole day. Hey, check it out - I TU'd you and it turned over to 94015 - cool.

Tubal Pregnancy is by far the worst pain I ever had.  My husband had gone out to sea and as usual, I thought I was just constipated because of the upset of him leaving for 6 months.  So I ignored it.  3 days later, I was delirious and almost comatose from loss of blood but was able to get to the phone and call 911.  I almost died that day.  Came so close to it, it still frightens me to this day.  I think God kept me here for a reason.  I just don't know what the reason is yet.   R/yvonne57

Having both my legs broken in 8 places and pins "nails" driven through one side and out the other, one at ankle and one at knee, both legs..  This was the worst pain I have ever endured in my life and I was only 19 when I went through this..  OUCH! I was on demoral for 3 weeks, first week one shot in the butt every hour on the hour, then after they made me into a drug addict, they had to wean me off of it and I went into terrible withdrawals.. I was in the hospital for 9 weeks.

Vinny - Ouch that sound so very painful. I'm sorry you had to go through something like that.

Ever had a rib out, cant breathe.

I got to agree with you leeroy and Mel. The worst pain I ever had was a kidney stone, I hope I NEVER have another one. I had mine back in 1995 and haven't had another since. Someone told me NOT to drink tea and milk products together, because that would form the stones. I did what he said and haven't had one since.

When it comes to Kidney Stones, Yes excruciating PAIN, I had one to large to pass, had to put a STENT in until they could crush it.  But, I'm not sure which was/is more painful the stones or Lung Cancer Surgery still have alot of pain from it, had in 2006 but, I can guarntee you, I'll never have another.  Just hand me a 357 it won't hurt as bad.

dad59, I'm a smoker trying to kick it - were you a smoker too?

I have to say giving birth for me so far in life was the most painful experience and I did it twice. I have been lucky in life to not really suffer anything more than a broken fist years ago.

I think we can announce kidney stones the winner..I never even mentioned them but they were the reason for my discharge from the army.All those years ago.

I've had a lot of surgeries that for the most part did not cause a lot of pain because your out cold when the work is being done.

However pain can be a part of all surgeries. The most recent is the worst to me now but you do seem to forget pain.

When I had my gall bladder removed I think they woke me up to soon because I felt like I had a knife in my gut, they did it the old fashion way with a long cut with 50+ staples in me, I was having pancreatitis at the same time and they had to look at my transplanted pancreas. I know long story but all my health issues are........lol

Then there was the time, no I'll save that for another time.........lol

My worst pain is when I had bleeding hemorrhoid,I went to see a Dr. I was only 20yr of age then,anyway it was like having a hot iron shove up your rectum,when the DR.decide to snipe it off,local anesthesia doesn't take when you are infected,He had blood all over his office,it was like a nighmare.After that he decide I should get an operation,because they were to far insde.

It makes me shudder to hear what you all went through. I think life is about suffering more than anything else. may it be phsical or  mental pain. I had a ruptured appentix and passed out in the emergency room. That was a very painful experiece. . I thank God everyday for beeing able to get up every morning and look at the beauty of his creation.

When I had 3 surgeries in 3 years. And when I had many deep skin boils caused by chemo making my immunity about down to  zero.

 As for emotional pain------ When my ex fiance' backed out of marriage twice !  I didn't know it at the time, but he is a sociapath.

And next, when my husband died, it broke my heart.

Mine would have to be,the dreadful experience I had when I gave birth to my first child 14 yrs. ago, I had a long painful labor,and after 20 hours I was just not progressing,so my doctor walked in and told me he thought it was time to do a cesarean section,after two non successful epidural' s,I agreed,and begged him to hurry up and knock me the hell out,because the pain was unbearable,they administered anesthesia  but because of the two epidurals they were careful about how much to give me,they knocked me out in a sort of twilight sleep,I felt them cut me open,I then felt him cut my uterus open,and worst of all I felt them yank my son out of  my body,(That was the worst),the nurse told the doctor to stop,because I was kicking the table,but the doctor told the nurse he would have to proceed,because he already had started.That was pure hell,it felt like I was being stabbed to death and set on fire all at the same time.It was so bad,that I demanded I be kept awake during cesareans I had with my other two children.

dis located my arm and leg when i fell off a wall when doing rock climbing the rope snaped lol

I read that pain is measured in doles. Kidney Stones is somewhere up there with holding a lighted cigarette against your skin.   Like 9 Doles. When I go to the doctor, he always asks me to measure my pain that day. #1 is slight or none  #10 is excrutiating,

I've come close to #10.
