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

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?

Bloody neuropathic pain.

I have an illness that has caused me to lose sensation in my lower legs, feet, lower arms, hands and face.

So why the fuck are my feet so sore???

@OurChristmasMiracle ask for numbing gel. I do!
Every time the dentist "yes I'll get you some, I know it's bubblegum flavour but don't taste it or your tongue will go numb and then you panic.. oh FFS" Grin

I've thought of one.

Kneeling on tiles at the swimming pool and the tops of your feet get pressed against the tiles.

I was shuddering with pain in seconds and had to kind of tether my child down and wait for it to subside. Weirdest reaction ever. I guess that area is not built to sustain any pressure at all.

Gallstones, absolutely horrific.

Stubbing your toe when you have cold feet. I broke three ribs and no where near is painful.
