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.

Gallstones. Way worse than labour and I had a pretty traumatic back to back 36 hour labour and emergency c section. I collapsed from the pain while on the waiting list for gall bladder removal, and was taken in by ambulance as an emergency. Never known pain like it.

Undoubtedly gallstones.

I had a spiral break of the tibia and fibula, which was pretty painful, but not half as bad as when they manually manipulated it back into position (the leg was bent outwards at about 20 degrees). Then they realised it still wasn't right, so they did it again. 4 doctors appeared at my bedside in A&E and asked dh to please step outside as he shouldn't witness it!

When i had bits of placenta left in me. Nearly killed me. The pain was worse than the labour (which was pretty horrific) and hard to comprehend what was happening.

Psoriatic arthritis the pain when all my joints swelled up was like no other . I didn’t know what it was and was scared to move

Oh yes, and I just saw Fairylea's post about removing a drain from a wound. I had a pilonidal sinus once (massive infected boil at the base of the spine). They drained it under general anaesthetic, and packed it full of what seemed like about 10 foot of ribbon gauze. 24 hours later, the nurses had to pull it out, bit by bit (no adequate pain relief available).

Gallbladder spasm, thought I was having a heart attack.
Post op after having my tonsils out.

Thought I had gallstones which turned out to be gastritis. Worst pain ever. Only thing that helped was lots and lots of morphine

Shattered leg - I have more metal than ankle / foot. I had a forceps birth with only a tens machine and gas as painkillers.

Neither is as bad as the ongoing depressivness of chronic eczema. The pain, the itching and the oozing have almost broken me. I am literally constantly irritable.

cant decide between tooth pain abcess or once i had such bad lower back pain i couldnt sit down!

Getting a drain removed post c section. It was caught on a nerve so felt like my cervix was being ripped out with a hot poker like some torture method. Drain was actually nowhere near my cervix! I had my first son via forceps, 3rd degree tear with absolutely zero pain relief, so I think my pain threshold is alright. But my god, that drain. I was screaming!

Roughest I've felt : kidney infection.
Worst pain - cervical examination was honestly worse than five 5cms dilated.

Gallstones. The attacks felt just like labour, which is unnerving when you're not expecting.

Kidney stones.

I had pg related stones, passing a stone pretty much every day from 16 weeks to delivery.
I don't kid you at all when I say that the first contraction was bliss!

I still had a while of stones after delivery, but knowing the end was in sight was awesome.

Gallstones. The pain level was higher than labour I think, but the attack lasted less long than labour and was less scary (but still pretty scary). I called dh to come home and he said I looked like I'd aged 20 years - my face was grey with pain. Thank goodness I only had that one bad attack. I controlled it with diet after that until the op.

A fall from my horse where I broke three ribs, collar bone and cheek bone. Asides from labour which was a lot worse.

Post c-section pain, miscarriage, ear infection in that order. Labour pains would be between the miscarriage and the ear infection.

Definitely Gallstones, the night before I had the operation to remove my Gallbladder I honestly wanted to die, they'd given me so much morphine my skin was crawling but I was still in absolute agony. Waking up after the operation was a revelation, the relief was instant. I'll never forget it!!

Meningitis, about 12 years ago now, I was in my 20's, I genuinely thought my head was going to explode the pain was so bad. I've never felt anything like it before or since, even my migraines which leave me out of action for a week at a time have nothing on the pain I felt then.

Renal colic
Gallstones
Migraine
Onset of frostbite

Dye injected into a small joint in my wrist before an MRI. The nurse strapped me to the trolley as a precaution and warned me that people usually pass out and/or fling themselves off the trolley with pain.

Second choice would be migraine. I've had some where death seemed a good option.

Severe constipation. Recovering from sphincter repair. Toothache

Had a c section also a lung removed exactly a year ago but currently laying here with neuralgia and its bloody agony i think thats the worst beleive it or not, cant take anything as 30 weeks pregnant its the most frustrating annoying pain in my gums, face ear and heAd on my left side!

Toss up between having a badly broken leg realigned with only two paracetamol as pain relief, and gallbladder infection.

4 labours easy in comparison

When I dislocated my kneecap it was certainly the worst feeling - but strangely I don't remember it actually being very painful.

Dd has had to have hers reduced in a&e which was hideous - bit didn't come close to the pain she was in after knee op.
