To ask what's the worst (physical) pain you've ever experienced?

[canwetalkaboutcake]

I've never broken a bone or given birth, but I have had some very painful periods that have made me feel like I'm going to pass out. Also terrible travel sickness / vomiting on a 20 hour trip that left me wishing for death due to how crap I felt.

surgical termination. felt like medieval torture

Kidney stone

When I was 12 I accidentally stabbed my foot with a garden fork, it didn’t hurt that much until I had the hole sewn up the next day.

Sciatica! I had this 3 months ago and still recovering I have never felt such pain before and I had 2 children

Biliary spasm - gallstones++++++

When I had my wisdom teeth out, don’t remember if it was infected or dry sockets but i kept walking into my dentist office crying and begging them for an appointment, i wanted to bang my head on the wall

Appendicitis (worst)
Childbirth
Spiral leg fracture

oh and afterbirth pains. genuinely thought i was dying

Slipped disc pressing on a nerve it went on for months I considered suicide a number of times, it was 10 times worse for me than giving birth or having a c section.

Local anaesthetic injected into inner labia for a biopsy.

Appendicitis. Induction. Recovery from c section

Breastfeeding, especially my 1st baby. Didn't get the latch right the first few days and just persevered in my pigheadidness. The tip of my nipple was hanging off, in a vicious cycle of scabbing over and then bleeding again, I still have the scars from it. I'd kick out in pain every time the baby had to latch on again. Took 4 weeks to heal.

Medical termination without a doubt. The whole room span, my ears started ringing and I thought I going to pass out. Thankfully it didn’t last long.

Very close second is quincy.. my c section isn’t very high up at all!

Dental abscess definitely the worst, but sciatica not far behind it - when I could actually manage to get up I had to walk in tiny steps around the edge of the room with my hands on the wall to take as much weight off my back as I could.

The delight known as 'javelin arse' would be on the list too, although it's thankfully left me alone for a while.

Tooth ache with an abcess,I have had two bad labours but the pain was controlled tooth ache wss far worse

RA flare, especially if it’s a shoulder or elbow.

Not the most intense pain I’ve experienced, but the worst was a disc prolapse in my lumbar spine, with severe sciatica that made sleeping impossible, even with strong painkillers. I’d always thought I was quite resilient, but the lack of sleep made it very quickly unbearable.

Not sure whether the most intense was from my gall bladder infection or during contractions when my baby got stuck with the bones of his skull against the bones in my pelvis. That was probably marginally worse.

Thrombosed haemorrhoid. Never ever want that again

Also pregnancy BOOBS omg even rolling over.

Tooth extraction when the dentist left a nerve exposed. I was screaming with pain.

When I damaged my sciatica nerve. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I've given birth 4 times and it doesn't even come close to the sciatica nerve. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Nerve pain from bone on bone arthritis in my spine, degenerative disc disease, a big spinal cyst and bone on bone arthritis in my hip
So bad I am puffing through it as if I am in labour and feel like I am going to vomit
Not had a normal nights sleep for two years because of this
Even morphine doesn’t touch it

Kidney infection
Thrombosed haemorrhoid
Post c section trapped wind and constipation

Labour - genuinely thought I was going to die with my 3rd DC. A very close second is gallstones

Induction with no pain relief
