What is the most pain you have ever experienced?

[Rnm62]

Some say tooth pain is one of the worst pains to have.

What would you say the worst pain is you’ve experienced?

standing and weight bearing on a fractured and dislocated ankle. mind blowing

child birth and bursitis in my hip - (not at the same time ) - toothache is horrid .

Absessess on gum (needed tooth pulled after healed)

Tongue biopsy. 3 stitches in back of tongue. Tongue swelled so bad and the stitches felt like razors. Had to keep mouth propped open so was dry too. Hurt like words cant explain.

Childbirth. Without a doubt.

Having stitches removed from my cornea. Pain was horrendous.

Kidney infection

Gallstones pain, induced labour with a back to back baby, dental abcess.

Dislocated shoulder, broken clavicle, torn rotator cuff tendons, torn deltoid, and a torn labrum.

The shoulder being out was agony, real tears to the eyes stuff, but after it went back in most of the pain subsided. The worst was the deltoid tear. It's never healed properly, and even a couple of decades later I have limited mobility in my arm and can't do certain mundane actions without doubling over with the pain.

NHS offered me no rehab whatsoever and I was too young to realise I should have challenged that. Just one of a multitude of totally unsatisfactory interactions with them down the years.

Recently, back spasms.
Overall, gallstones.

child birth with only gas & air (my second came with an epidural, I learnt my lesson)!

Gallstones. Worst than labour as, at least, l was expecting that to be painful and was built up for it but the gallstones came on unexpectedly and l had no idea what was happening. Was literally rolling around the floor in agony.

Compound fracture tibia and fibia I still have nightmares of the screaming !

After local wore off can relate.

Tooth pain when I had an abscess followed by kidney infection

Barosinusitis. I thought I was dying.

Out of all the below, it would be the plantar fascia. That made me scream.

• Tooth broken in half
• Tooth abscess
• broken ribs
• Tore muscle, ligament and cartilage off ribs and tore a big hole in my pec
• tore a hole in the muscle over my shoulder blade
• frozen shoulder
• tore plantar fascia - it's taken a long time to heal, would have been better if it had snapped apparently

Kidney stones

And I've had 3 children and gallstones.

Kidney stones pain tops it all.

Toothache.

Tooth abscess.
Oh, the relief when the antibiotics kick in.

Back spasms. Absolutely horrible pain!

Rheumatoid arthritis pain in virtually every joint except my hips, or at least before I received effective treatment. Horrible horrible horrible.

I've had gallstones, two children, and a triple fracture/dislocation of the ankle leading to two surgeries and osteoarthritis. But none of them could touch the pain from appendicitis. I genuinely believed I was dying, I'd never understood the expression 'writhing in pain' before.

Dislocating my elbow & Labour. Still undecided as to which was worse x

Ruptured ectopic pregnancy, major internal bleeding etc and 8 hour surgery to save my life. I came round screaming. Still have ptsd decades later, still feel those screams.

Slipped disk in my back 25 years ago. Three weeks of hell before the pain finally started to subside. Every day I thought about crawling in front of a city bus and ending it all. Labor with DS1 lasted about 20 hours and was really really bad, but that at least had a purpose. This back thing, just no.
