to think that stubbing your toe is the most painful thing EVER?

[Jackiemagazine]

I stubbed my foot on a really heavy wooden bench. I'm pretty sturdy, I was moving at speed and gave it a good hard smack. The pain felled me.
And do you know what can be done for broken and stubbed toes?
Fuck all.

It is easily the most painful and shocking thing ever. Fact.
Agree?

I slammed my thumb in the car door on Saturday night. It was agony. I ended up at the hospital yesterday to get the blood drained out from behind the nail. I was eating painkillers at two hour intervals all night long.

I have kicked a metal box before and injured my middle toe. I think it was broken actually, but I never got it checked out. It was also immensely painful, but still I think this weekend's thumb wins.

I agree OP. Broke my toe stubbing it against a heavy wooden stool and not only was I on the floor but vomiting too. Was far worse than childbirth (for first half hour ) in terms of sheer agony) and l did not have easy births by any means.

Having said which I suspect kidney stones may be worse.

I agree Boys. I think the sudden searing pain is the most 'pure' physical feeling there is (alongside orgasm probably). It is exquisite. your mind goes blank and you jus feel . till it turns into that horrible dull ache. which is just irritating. Give me pure pain over nagging discomfort any day.

I would say number 2 on the list of most painful.

For me the top spot goes to 22 stitches after child birth - done by a student nurse - who didn't numb the area first because she mistakenly though I'd had an epidural. It took 2 people to physically restrain me from kicking her in the face.

Saying that standing barefoot on lego in the middle of the night is almost on a par with toe stubbing.

Fucking hell this thread has had me laughing, whincing and clenching!!

Watching a love one keel over with the pain of stubbing a toe is pretty funny. I think it's because one minute you are conducting yourself like an adult and the next you are laying on the floor in the foetal position whimpering like a child.

Yes, MrsK, that is exactly it. I just lie down and go limp and just feel it.

Jack Daniels, he of the Tennessee mash, died from a stubbed toe, essentially, so let's not underestimate the dire consequences that can arise (but let's not remember so much that we can't enjoy other people doing it a bit, because that is one of the weirder pleasures of life).

When I stubbed my toe it was literally the most painful thing I've ever been through (I'm pretty sure I broke it but never got it checked). Worse than giving birth...At least I got gas and air then!

Nah having my big toe nail ripped out was rather painful. Dog was jumping up at me getting excited (as dogs do) and as I was wearing flip flops my toe nail caught and was ripped out.

Oh and peeing after having a child (no fucker told me about that little gem)

I hate stubbing my toe with anyone there because it makes them laugh and you feel like such a twat while being in terrible pain.

But my worst pain ever was pregnancy leg cramps. I yelled so much the neighbours thought the baby had come! When I actually did give birth, even though I was in so much pain I was mooing by 2cm dilated and needed an epidural, the pain wasn't as bad as the leg cramps.

Bollicle originated in this thread, I believe.

I once broke my toe. It was worse than childbirth for me.

The most painful injury on Earth is actually gouging out part of your thumbnail with a carrot peeler.

I went to Dr Google to investigate and urban dictionary gave me this little gem: refers to the numerous raised bumps located on the male scrotum from which individual pubic hairs arise. Formed from bollocks and follicle

I once sliced an onion across ways with a brand new knife and underestimated the sharpness of it. It went straight thru the onion and sliced long ways down my thumb. After 3 days of it bleeding DH insisted i went to a&e (which i didn't want to do as i had 6wk old ds, and was still double incontinent and sore from the stitches). I caught Noro while in the waiting room and was advised to continually wash my hands to stop ds catching it. So on top of the pain of the cut, the horror of noro with a very weak pelvic floor, the early days of BFing etc. I then had the added pain of wetting and soaping my stinging throbbing thumb regularly. It really was the cherry on the pain cake!

Altho i must say doing a poo after having ds1 was and still is agony, because i have been left with anal fissures, which is like shitting a hedgehog every time i go, still 2.4 years on :(

Boys not toe stubbing pain no. I like eyebrow tweezing or threading pain

I broke my femur a couple of years back (in an embarrassingly boring way), fell on my front in an odd position so paramedics had to lift me on this tarpaulin sheet like thing outside so they could turn me over to put a splint on. They rolled the sheet down to my stomach and then kind of shuffled me slightly up it but when they lifted me my broken leg wasn't actually on top of the sheet so kind of flopped off. I was a little bit sick in my mouth when that happened.

Then after surgery to fix it, I realised I really really needed a poo and wanted to go in an actual toilet rather than a bedpan I got out of bed a bit enthusiastically and misplaced one of the crutches so it slipped away from me and put my full weight on my leg. I screamed so loudly half of the ward nurses came running

I quite like back pain when you get someone to press on the exact right spot and it hurts even more, but somehow you know it's doing you good :)

And I quite like being stung by a bee - not initially which hurts a lot, but a few minutes later it feels amazing - like a hot thai chilli feeling but in your skin.

But not stubbed toes, cramps of any kind, or headaches.

I like the feeling of being waxed. Hot wax poured on your nethers/anus and then ripped off. mmmmmm.

Threading and plucking is too niggly and makes me want to punch the person doing it.

Stubbing toe hurts, but I would take that a million times over to avoid another dental abscess.

I've broken fingers and toes.

Have given birth twice.
Have stood on plugs and knelt on sharp things.
Also sewed through my own finger with my sewing machine and had to pull the needle the rest of the way through with pliers.

But trigeminal neuralgia beats all of that hands down. Stabbing, grinding, electric shocking pain that just builds and builds and builds and makes brushing my teeth an agony, a warm breezy day unbearable etc.

And I'm stuck with it on a daily basis, possibly forever unless remission occurs. No sign of that yet.

Thank god for strong, strong anti epilepsy drugs that numb the pain.

Ouch ouch marnie I've got a weird feeling in my legs from reading about your finger!

Sorry your neuralgia is even worse .

Toe stubbing is incredibly painful - I've managed to 'stub' and damage both the nails on my little toes to the point where the nails won't regrow

I will say that slipping on a balance beam and landing on my fanjita, legs akimbo, was probably the worst pain ever. I couldn't even draw sufficient breath to express my pain, just lay around wide-eyed and gasping like a haddock out of water.
