What is more painful then it has a right to be?

[Hospitalexpert]

I have cerebral palsy with weakness on the right and have plenty of injuries on that side including broken bones. The pain is bad but definitely manageable. I must have banged my left leg, nothing serious some time yesterday and oh god the pain... felt like my right pain broken hip.

When I broke my right hip the doctor couldn’t believe it was broken or I’d be crying with pain - now I understand what she meant if a slight bang hurts this bad.

My less serious answer is paper cuts - how can such a tiny cut hurt like that?

Oh and that strange pain you get when you bang your funny bone.

Any small injury around or especially under your fingernails - why does that hurt so much !!

Scalded my fingers on steam last week, had to go to bed with a chilled capri sun strapped onto my hand to relieve it, it was excruciating!!

@DrMadelineMaxwell yes to trigeminal neuralgia!!! Bloody horrible.

Stubbing your toe
Standing on stupid shitty Lego

Anything ankle related. Perhaps my ankles are weak but oww.

Bruised rib. It hurt to breathe for weeks.

I had serious tonsillitis once and remember not being able to swallow properly for days. I’d go through childbirth again over having that experience.

Periods! How can something 'natural' have me doubled over every month.

Cramp in legs hate them

So the deep muscle pains with fibromyalgia, never felt pain like it.

Taxation.

Definitely any cut to your hand followed by a squirt of hand sanitiser!

Also lower back pain. I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such a bad back.

Yes to stubbed toe and to ingrown toenail. Getting a jolt from an electric fence. I spontaneously burst into tears the first time I did that.

I'm surprised gallbladder spasms aren't on that list, I'd put them just below childbirth.

I slammed the end of my finger in the hinge of a door, it was exquisitely painful for what seemed like ages. I had to lie on my bed trying to keep calm and breathe until it subsided enough to ask dh to come and look if my finger was hanging off as I suspected. In fact it was still in one piece with just a small cut next to my nail. My nail didn't even drop off! So I can only imagine how painful it must be to really injure a finger.

Smear tests.

Definitely standing on lego! I did this the other day, I nearly screamed the house down. My son said I was exaggerating somewhat ( I was, but it hurt. I nearly through the lego at him).

Stubbing your toe.

Mouth ulcers..can be so small, but hurt so much.

Also, minor burns. I did this when getting something out of the oven. I was also tired, hungry and generally fed up. I nearly cried !

I feel entirely frivolous posting this in light of what so many of you have to go through but.......

Having my upper lip threaded. Never again.

And yes to the trapped finger and anything involving toes!

Dropping a nylon hairbrush on my foot (from head height) ...I consider my pain threshold to be fairly high, but oh boy I needed paracetamol.

Pins-and-needles in the vulva.

Those little pimples you get on the end of your tongue when you lie 😉
Also when you brush your teeth too hard and get sensitive receding gums

Wasp stings - I was shocked at the pain and the pulsing of the poison up my arm and then the beating of my heart.

Walking on pebbles or shingle - I find it absolute agony but also hated PE barefoot for much the same reason. I am sure I could have balanced on a beam or climbed a rope had I been shod. Likewise the concept of breaking in shoes - if I get a blister, or they pinch, I never ever wear them again.

Having said that, I think I have a high pain threshold dealt well with labour and was back at work 9 days after severely wedging my L1.

Toothache. The little bastards.
I had a bone marrow sample done years ago. Oh lord, even when I was in labour I thought “still not as painful as that”

I’d argue with that pain scale. I had (what I assume they mean by) unprepared childbirth. Was not a walk in the park, didn’t breeze through it. But was nothing to breaking my coccyx bone coming off a horse.

Oh and kneeling on an electric plug and those spots you get inside your nose.

I feel like tooth ache should be higher up that scale as it be incredibly sore.

PGP doesn't feature, also agonising.

Deepest sympathy to everyone suffering.

I bit the inside of my cheek today! That hurt more than it should have.
