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?

Having all my wisdom teeth out at once. Literally sat in an armchair watching anything on tv to distract me from the pain, watching the clock until I could take more pain killers. 3 days before it started to feel bearable. The unremitting pain was worse than my three day labour.

@Tilda77 that's good to know! Sometimes wondering if I will ever be able to go to the loo normally again! Light at the end hopefully

@Greydogs123 I had all mine pulled at the same time too and it was AGONY. I lost half a stone in a week because I couldn't eat. About 500x worse than c-section recovery.

Did you feel instant relief afterwards once it had burst? As soon as my eardrum burst the relief from the pressure and pain was instant

Oh yes MayISuggestSomeThickCutStraightChips the pain subsided straight away. It really felt as if my brain (such as it is) was going to explode and the relief was fabulous. Years later dental work was pretty nasty but at least I was numbed for that.

Childbirth of second child and toothache.

@BucketofTeaMassiveCake I'd had tonsillitis about a week before mine happened. We'd gone to My Mum and Dad's for a bbq and my ear started to really hurt whilst we were there. Came home and put a hot water bottle against it which helped slightly and then I put cold gel pack against it and felt it burst. Didn't realise what it actually was and rang the Drs the next day panicking that brain fluid was leaking out my ear. There was one bonus to it though. I temporarily lost my earring in my left ear until it healed so when I was working and my right ear facing the beer and wine chillers it meant I couldn't hear the ex mil rabbiting on at me. Utter bliss

Bone on bone before my hip replacement. Makes my eyes water even now remembering it.

Crystal arthritis in my foot, which feels like gout apparently.

Having nasal packing removed after rhinoplasty. An out of body experience.

@BlackSwan, that's reminded me of when I had vaginal packing removed after a prolapse operation.
It was stuck to the wound, and the nurse pulled it out slooooooowly. It was like unending torture.

I just remembered when a nurse tried to pull out a drain without switching off the suction when I had my gall bladder out many years ago - yikes!

Dental abscess by far was the worst thing I've ever experienced,

vipersnest1 sounds like alien abduction level torture 😲
