What is the most pain you have ever experienced?

[Geano]

Apart from labour

I would say a back injury I suffered as a child , that was painful.

Sinusitis, I don’t think I slept for 4 days, nothing touched it.
Tearing a ligament in my foot whilst out running was bad, but it was a sudden awful pain and then was tolerable within a few minutes.
The sinusitis wins!

Abscess in an impacted wisdom tooth. If someone had handed me a gun I would have shot myself.
Pleurisy. Could not move or breathe without nearly passing out with the pain.

Tearing my anterior crickets ligament. I actually thought I might die from the pain.

The second was when I did something to my back and was stuck in a half bend. I nearly passed out with the pain of trying to straighten up

When I broke my ankle and then stepped on it really hard by mistake. Nothing, not childbirth, not a medical event described by the doc as "considerable pain" felt anything like the ankle

There are three, but they are v similar and all related to ms. A headache that had me crawling on the floor drooling and screaming, trying to bang my head on the wall while my rational brain warned me off. DH called an ambulance and I was carted off to hospital. Another headache that was so debilitating that I really couldn’t move a muscle without screaming at the pain it caused in my head; I spent almost a full working day lying in the sick room with tears leaking out and dribbling down into my ears - I couldn’t even reach up to wipe them away. Again, an ambulance carted me off. The third time went pretty much the same way but with no ambulance at the end - by that time I was an old hand!

Tooth ache definitely!

Toss up between root canal and broken ribs.

@CMOTdibbler, I am very sorry to be in that level of pain 24/7 for the last seven years sounds horrific.

Toothache. Three years ago when 5 months pregnant with DD on a weekend in Blackpool. I tried everything to no avail. I was in absolute agony and was without doubt the worst pain I have ever been in. I ended up finding an emergency dentist the day we got back and I had the tooth removed.

Ruptured disk while pregnant so i couldn't have the op to remove it. I was pretty much on bed rest for 6 months.

Gallstones, biliary colic.

Honest to god. Out of body experience. Crawling on the floor screaming for morphine. It was literally unbearable. Gallstone blocking the duct. I can't describe it.

(Dry socket / tooth problems a close second.. Labour was quite painful too ... as was the needle going in the back for the epidural before the c section... "sharp scratch")

Without a doubt gallstone pain
Labour was nothing compared to that
Indescribable agony and unable to put myself anywhere, thought I was dying.
Then had the indignity of the nurse who administered my morphine taking the piss out of my slurred speech. She asked it that was helping... I replied yes it is and she repeated it back to me in a duh type voice whilst laughing. My lovely dad who was with me looked like he was going to lose it, she took a look at his face and scarpered

Labour three times over and next to labour would have to be toothache x

Stay away dry socket! Dental pain Is bad but when I was young-about 10 I think, I had a kidney infection & clearly remember hallucinating from the pain-it was a windy day & I though all the swaying trees out ,y bedroom window were witches on broomsticks!

Then horrific pain during a miscarriage, (unaware I was pregnant), which in hindsight appeared to be from a twisted ovary. Periodic pain afterwards until they removed the big tumor. Thankfully all ok now

Gall stones....easily as bad as labour pains.

A French GP pouring iodine over a massive friction burn

Javelin arse

God you poor things. Some of these sound utterly horrendous x

Oh anal fissure and torn cruciate ligament both smarted a bit too :(

Ovarian cyst.

Inflamed gall bladder.

Periods.

Renal colic which I had incapacitating episodes of for over a year thanks to a renal consultant deciding it was nothing to do with my kidneys (after ruling out stones) and blaming period pain or constipation for no reason . It was actually my kidney packing in.

Strangulated hernia. Absolutely horrendous.

A burst abscess at the base of my spine. I had increasingly bad back pain and it felt like there was a golf ball sized lump in my back when I lay down. It was Boxing Day, ten years ago, and the out of hours Dr said I was imagining the lump. The pain when it burst was excruciating.

My migraines come second, then gallstones, and ruptured cruciate ligament.

@Fluffypie1 when you say blood gases, do you mean the arterial blood test in your wrist?

I was warned that was excruciating before I had it done but it wasn’t too bad for me. Feeling quite lucky now

@eastlondoner ok there are some god awful things on here, but that made me feel sick!

Wisdom tooth pain, for me, is far more painful than labour. Labour was intense but certainly manageable.
