To think this is one of the most painful things you can do.

[sweeneytoddsrazor]

Stub your toe. Stubbed little toe earlier on the table leg. Of course no shoes or slippers on to cushion the blow. Air very quickly turned blue followed by toe turning a lovely shade of bluey/purple. Nice 9 hour shift later and it is bloody agony.

Was carrying in bags of shopping and was obv trying to impress hot neighbour who got out his car same time... he asked if I needed help and I was like noooo it's only a few wee things.... it wasn't. So it was one trip or die trying.

I was triumphantly 2 steps away from my door when one of the bags split sending a 2lt bottle of ginger beer for my 3 wee toes which were OBVIOUSLY in flip flops.

Didn't make eye contact with hot neighbour for months as he 100% defo seen me cry hahahahaha

**also first to state this should be a classic thread

Coming round after my hysterectomy to the most horrific pain I've ever felt then being knocked out again very quickly when they realised I could feel everything
The bloke who put my anesthetic in hitting a nerve blimey that hurts I screamed swore and wet myself all at the same time

Going to gp with piles and being in so much pain already that when he suggested he could just burst it with a knife there and then, letting him.

A bad abscess also was the worst pain I have experienced. I thought I might die the pain was so severe. I was slightly delirious. A close second was a very bad bladder infection. But agree that stubbing goes can be agony. I fell off a flight of stairs when I was younger on to a hard floor face first, fractured my cheek bone, knocked myself unconscious and really messed up my face. Apparently all I was moaning about in the ambulance over and over however was how much my toe hurt and it was even broken!

Toddler bite. Never experienced pain like it, and I’ve broken bones and once had stitches without anaesthetic.

Been having abdominal pains that they think might be coeliac disease is pretty fucking painful.

Ovary cyst - also horrendous.

But OMG, I once used one of those pre waxed strips on my big toe - it hurt so badly I went all dizzy and nearly vomited. My stomach was that dodgy sore for ages afterwards. Shaved the other toe. God it makes me feel sick just thinking about it

Trying to poop after three rounds of chemo and just not being able to "go". Get to the point where you are too afraid to even try due to the piles and pain and end up with an infection cos your body goes into shock. Four years later and I still don't think I will ever beat that!

My DP has form for stopping walking in front of me, we were in a busy cafe on holiday and decided to leave as there weren’t any tables, he stopped walking in front of me on the way out, I stubbed my toe (of course in flip flops) on the back of his bloody trainer and managed to rip half my toenail back it still makes me feel sick now. I then had to endure the walk around the castle and the boat ride back with a blood covered flip flop and foot. It took everything I had in me to not push him off that boat on the way back also on the same holiday I hurt that toe again and my ankle horrifically by that stupid flip flop catching at the front and bending under.

"I had trapped wind once, it felt like I was being stabbed and the knife twisted in my guts. Have a lot of sympathy for people who suffer this regularly." Thank you!

People who've never had it can be utter arses about it! It can be incredibly painful, first time I got it not only did I think it was something serious so did the babysitter (adult sitter, not type to make fuss over nothing but not experienced this) they called my parents home because they thought it could be something like appendicitis. Parents both sufferers - dad regular, mum occasional plus mums mum suffered greatly with stomach issues (not dx until in her 60's). They pretty much immediately realised what was wrong. I thought they were being dismissive and was quite upset at that especially as their "cure" was a teaspoon of bicarb in a pint of water and they made me drink it all in one go fast as possible. Thought I was gonna throw up! But it worked! MASSIVE burps and farts and almost instant relief. Once I (and the babysitter!) were calmer parents did explain that they weren't being dismissive they knew it could be INCREDIBLY painful, dad said first time he had it thought he was dying! And he had it after several other medical things/injuries including appendicitis which he said was LESS painful.

Gotta say I've frequently caught pubes on sanitary towels - don't find it that bad. Nips a bit but no more. But then I have endo so I'm kinda used to a lot of pain in that area generally.

Sitting on my bum on the grass at a festival, put my hands back behind me so i could lean back, with all my weight on my hands, managed to put one straight on top of a cigarette that someone had dropped. Burned a hole in my palm. Not fun.

Also, by a fairly ridiculous series of events, I slammed a very infected cut on my shin in a car door. It popped, it was messy.

Pulls face.

I once slammed my own finger in the car door after strapping a baby in.

That was pain.

Self harm trigger.

The one that made me feel sick the most was when I tried to open the artery in my wrist, I didn't realise veins will naturally move out of the way of any pressure so I kept putting the blade back in the wound. Urghhh. Then it caught a tendon and sort of pinged. Bad times. Ten years on and every bloody time I look at my wrist I'm reminded of it. Bleagh.

Oh and having a frozen neck. I looked like Davros from Dr Who for two days. They gave me valium as well as painkillers, which was weird.

Opening a car door onto the part of your eye just below the eyebrow - I don't recommend it. Still have the scar.

Shaving your legs a bit too heavy-handedly and pulling out from the razor blades a 3-inch concertinaed piece of skin from your ankle.

Don't know why I keep looking at this thread - makes me wince/twitch horribly - mad aren't we "Pain-Porn"

Just remembered another... not strictly painful, because I’d had a spinal. But deeply unpleasant nonetheless. During my ELCS with DS, they had to drag him out by his foot because he got stuck, which wasn’t much fun. But then, while I was having a fairly major PPH, I had a fucking enormous coughing fit. I’d had a tickly cough for a couple of days anyway, plus the gas and air I had to take while they were trying to sort me out, I was coughing like hell while they were trying to stop the bleeding and stitch me up. Grim.

Jesus this thread is awful.

For me, Cluster headache. I honestly considered suicide (a bit dramatic but I can't describe how awful it was).

Some sort of IBS related attack where my insides feel like they're ripping and twisting and I can't move an inch. Spasms from the rectum also meaning I can't fucking sit during it.

Bowel issues where I hadn’t been able to go for 2 weeks+, fairly frequent and pretty painful.
Fainting and falling down the stairs, I was basically a walking bruise (luckily I didn’t break anything)
And not quite as painful, but a pretty strong childhood memory I’d getting stung by a bee, which made me stumble and fall into a patch of stinging nettles.

Having an acrylic nail caught and ripped off and taking the real fingernail underneath with it worse than labour

Why do I keep coming back to this thread

My friend currently has shingles ON HIS ACTUAL EYEBALL

How did I forget iritis? I have psoriatic arthritis, sometimes my iris swells up, it hurts like hell until I start treatment.

Oh and having a frozen neck. I looked like Davros from Dr Who for two days. They gave me valium as well as painkillers, which was weird.

The muscles in your neck would have been locking up and Valium is a relaxant.
