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.

Tonsillitis. Really, I'd rather go through labour again. I hate tonsillitis.

at the pp who said they didn't even whimper during labour

Dislocated knee for me

Gout..like labour pains in your foot!

Ear ache. Worse than labour by a million miles.

Sprained ankle.

Far worse than labour and a broken shoulder

Chest pain from asthma attack - literally thought I was having a heart attack. Pain was horrendous.

Close second was having a drain pulled from a horrific c section wound.

A dry socket that lasted two weeks, after the removal of an impacted wisdom tooth.

It was worse than labour.

Broken ribs. Then chest infection at the same time. Closely followed by gallstones, although I've got more of a rumbling pain and have only had one bad attack in which I genuinely thought I was dying.

Pleurisy. I was terrified to breathe, and couldn't move.

Sciatica. I blew a disc sneezing and within six months I was unable to walk due to the pain running from my back down my right leg to my foot. I was on very high dose painkillers and muscle relaxants. The pain was so horrendous I would pass out.

Surgery was a godsend, although to this day, I do still have relapses every couple of years and the feeling has never returned to the middle toe of my right foot.

I can't remember the proper name but anal spasms. I suffered for 4 months, screaming agony multiple times a day. Two operations required to remove sections of the muscle, you can imagine what it was like having a bowel movement afterwards and the bruising.

I fell over a tree stump, kinda not noticing it was there, I turned round, walked into it hard, flew over it and fell into a concrete path.

I managed to fracture my tibia and damage cartilage in my knee. A helpful person decided it just needed rubbing. Vigorously.

Im still bearing a grudge on that score...and walking with a stupid stick.

Ruptured angiomyolipoma on my kidney (with subsequent nefrectomy).

Corneal ulcers in both eyes

Ear infections just before the eardrum finally bursts.
Or passing out from period pains.
Or SPD just before, during and after labour. The labour was a doddle in comparison. Worst bit was the SPD not being taken seriously after labour and nurses wanting me to "see how I went" without meds, until I screamed when they kept asking how my vagina was, "why does everyone keep asking about my vagina? It's fine, it's my pelvis that hurts!" DH pointed out I'd given birth less than 24 hours earlier. Finally got painkillers!

When my ankle swelled up after it was plastered, I screamed all night until they took the plater off.

It's a toss up between breaking my back when knocked off my bike, or when my c-section wound got badly infected.

Actually, I'd say the infected wound. It was so painful I could only move by crawling cm by cm up to bed, which in itself was pure agony. At least with the broken back I could still walk.

Knee dislocation- several times in my teens

Closely followed by a slipped disc when I was 10 weeks pregnant

Nerve left in after root canal for 18 months. Or possibly an abdominal migraine I had that was so awful I couldn't even get my phone or shout my mum downstairs to get me an ambulance (didn't know it was a migraine and thought I was going to die). I was just curled up for two hours trying to breathe and then it went!

The tooth especially has left me unable to give a sensible answer to "rate your pain from 1 to 10".

My migraines. Any slight movement and the pain is so bad i vomit. The vomiting and movement makes the pressure in my head feel like its going to pop it open.
Many times i have felt i could dial 999 ...thankfully ive never physically been able to due to the pain.
Id rather be in labour

Ruptured ectopic pregnancy. It was almost beyond pain, I couldn't move. I collapsed and remember thinking that I must be dying and that would be a welcome relief. I passed out when the paramedics lifted me and had to have emergency surgery and a blood transfusion.

Of course the healing process was painful. The shock and emotional pain, when it hit a week later, was something I don't ever want to experience again either.

Happily I now have a wonderful DS. Labour was painful but it didn't come close to that pain, and of course the outcome was so very much better!

The pain from when I shattered and twisted my hip. It was horrendous. I also had another very bad break, spiral fracture, whilst ski-ing, but this was nothing compared to the hip. Have had trigeminal neuralgia, the pain was relentless. And kidney stones, again painful but thankfully passes.

Toothache. That little word does not even begin to convey the agony it entails. I was ready to rip my own head off and it was like continuous contractions - with no baby at the end!

Closely followed by the pain from pulling a chest muscle whilst coughing. It hurt to breathe.

Labour was just...intense for me, rather than painful per se.

Biliary Colic from Gallstones
followed close second dislocated jaw many times!
