Most agonising pain?

Having my tonsils out as a 14 year old, then watching England lose to Norway 2-0 in a world cup qualifier from my hospital bed that evening in total agony. The pain was so bad I took up the offer of a suppository. If you haven't had to have one of them dissolve inside of you and being in writhing agony whilst listening to Jimmy Hill give his view on Des Walker, you have no idea of pain.

Suppositories every morning and evening for my problem of piles. It's the intense itching that's the worst bit - never shake hands with me. :)

I always forget the poster but I have a feeling it's [MENTION=579]Drumstick[/MENTION] (?) who always wins this thread following his bike accident.. The photo of his foot is one of the worst things I've ever seen.

Yeah that's me. And yeah it was incredibly painful!

Still have the photo if anyone's interested!

Warning graphic photo below for those that don't like gore.

Sitting here with a raging toothache, waiting for the painkillers to kick in, the pain is ridiculous, tempted to pull the fooker out with some pliers! Question, what is the worse pain you've suffered?

Mine has to be tearing my cruciate ligament, whilst the initial pain did subside a lot after about 20 minutes, that initial pain was unbearable.

Share your pain!

Toothache is bad, because you can't get away from it. I would have to say the pain when I had bowel cancer 2 years ago was probably the worst, not constant but when it hit it was unbearable - I was rushed to A&E twice and put on morphine immediately.

It's funny though, the human body has a mechanism of forgetting pain quite quickly - you remember that it hurt, but you struggle to remember the actual pain. Apparently it's a defence around childbirth, as it's thought if women could remember the pain of childbirth, they wouldn't have another.

Cellulitis of the leg was pretty bad as I had a very active job and hobbled around on it for a week before I dragged myself to A&E. Thankfully I responded to the anti-biotics otherwise could have lost the leg. Don't buy cheap shitty shoes folks!

Catching my four skin in my flies.

How the hell did you get the frank above the beans?!

I had two undescended testicles that led to two operations as a 5 year old - old enough to understand the ramifications and feel the pain - that involved manually manipulating them down one at a time six months apart via a huge scrotal incision.

Worst part was the doctor was the parent of one of my school friends so everyone knew what happened....

Had to wear massive pants for a couple of weeks and had over 30 stitches to contend with. Painful and itchy as hell!

It can happen via any entry wound. I had it from a mossy bite. My other half gets it regularly and ends up on intravenous anti biotics in hospital as he is just prone to it. His first bout was from a stone in the road flicking up, when he was on his bike.

I sympathise with your husband - I endured a miserable week in hospital with all my veins being butchered with IVs - apparently i've got sunken veins and the nurses took turns stabbing me and missing/erupting my bloodways.

Heartbreak.
 


Without doubt the immediate post operative pain in recovery following lower abdominal surgery (cyto reduction therapy) for peritoneal cancer in 2013. Basically you're opened up from below the diaphragm and pinned out like being on a butcher's block while they pick out the tumours; the cavity is then flushed/washed with warm chemotherapy solution for 60mins after which you're meshed to prevent the inevitable hernia(s), sewn up and then the fun starts:
Coughed out the respiration tube ok and then there's just me and the consultant anaesthetist trying to set the epidural level whilst my entire nervous system's gone into a default total panic mode with all the operative pain. Excruciating experience with lots of swearing from both of us; seemed to last forever but, in hindsight, probably less than a minute. Felt a bit whimpish afterwards tbh.
Second, but someway back, is the pain from a gunshot (bullet) wound in my right shoulder when I was in my late teens.

[MENTION=579]Drumstick[/MENTION] will always win threads like this.

I remember at the time thinking he will do well to keep his foot, let alone walk again.

Fair play to the guy though. I went to a Saints v Palace game some while afterwards, with him and [MENTION=5]Turkey[/MENTION] and we all RAN for the train after the game.

:bowdown:

Seriously? Sounds to me like a simple job of suing the arse off him for breach of confidentiality.

Yep but only because his son used to wait at his surgery after school sometimes and saw me in the waiting room. What with his dad being a specialist in that field it didn't take much to put two and two together, it's not like he told him specifically what I went there for.

Infected Gall Bladder, was quaffing morphine like it was water, pain was nothing like I have ever experienced.
