Most horrible physical pains you have experienced?

[mmouse37]

When I threw my back out. Could not get comfortable sitting or lying down and trying to get in and out of bed was torture. It was worse than childbirth.

 

[JBRB828]

childbirth all natural

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

Pain from Covid-19 was horrible.
Ripped my toenail off, that hurt pretty bad.
Kidney Stone, thought I was dying.
Worst pain I have ever felt was when I severed my Achilles tendon. It hurt so bad I can't even describe it.

 

[lesliekatya]

Vomiting after hernia surgery, second only to big toenail peeling up after a door opened over my foot.

Kidney stones

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Yikes, some of these sound awful!!

- Post-partum hemorrhage after a twin CSection and its aftermath. I screamed when they had to vigorously massage my uterus to help get it to stop

- Severe corneal abrasion in a lumberyard when a gust of wind blew a sliver of wood up under my eyelid. Could not see for several hours as any eye movement caused excruciating pain. Urgent Care people made it worse; had to go into Mass Eye and Ear ER - longest ride of my life

- Adenomyosis before hysterectomy, similar to hemorrhage pain

Waking up from hip surgery. For whatever reason, the painkiller hadn't worked and I woke up screaming and (sadly - if I had been aware, I wouldn't have done it) was loud enough that it went through much of the wing I was in. It was a particularly painful hour until it got under control.

I used to have a chronic gynecological condition called Mittelschmerz and it was debilitating. Hitting menopause was one of the greatest reliefs of my life.

 

[mommasita]

Pitocin induced labor, dry socket.

This is very high on my list.
Breaking ribs last year .. oof painful
i had brain decompression surgery and when I woke up from that, I begged them to kill me. No painkillers helped, i thought I would not make it. I then developed a CFS leak, and had almost zero fluid left. omg worst headaches possible.
I had to have a few spinal taps done, before they had to replace the dura, give me a shunt , because I rejected it. As I lay unable to move 10% of any body part for ten days, waiting and praying the shunt would work, it finally did. I think I spent May and June in hospital, before I could come home. Worst (be far), pain possible.

Sweet Jesus, what a terrible ordeal. I'm a little queasy just reading about it. You are one strong lady, but then again, we already knew that.

Labor and what I suspect were a couple gallbladder attacks - I was too young and stupid to go to the ER so I'll never really know.

 

[DisneyOma]

3. Gall bladder attack that had me in the ER
2. Natural Childbirth (twice)
1. Endometrial Biopsy (twice) - I call that one "the claw", and I will never have one again while conscious. They'll have to knock me out first!

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Spinal Surgery - far and wide painful
I’ve broken ribs / feet / dry sockets / had kids/ other surgeries / migraines - child’s play compared to that surgery I wished someone to knock me out as the OxyContin and morphine did nothing

 

[Meglen]

1. Nerve pain from my back up to my neck over my head into my eye socket.. for the last 2 years. Doctors dunno what's wrong.
2. Needle to numb my toe for a ingrown removal. The Doctor did it wrong and instead of putting it in the meat of the toe she put it in the bone multiple times.. I have had broken bones and have endometriosis and #1 and this was horrible.

 

[NannyBeBe]

Torn rotator cuff. I begged the doctor to amputate my arm.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Foot reconstruction

 

[footballmouse]

After having 2 natural childbirths, the worst pain I've ever felt was when I discovered that I had tendinitis in my hip and a close second was a gallbladder attack. Those 2, especially the tendinitis, made me cry much more than labor.

 

[neverlandsky]

Adenomyosis & Endometriosis stage 4 & 5.

 

[BrianL]

It was when I developed a herniated disc and it started pinching my sciatic nerve. The pain became excruting for a short time, but then something kind of popped and it went to severe numbness in my leg before I even got to see a doctor, so fortunately it didn't last long. It was bad though.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I guess labor? I had an epidural and had a really nice labor.

I've broken a lot of bones, have some joint/cartilage damage - when that acts up it can be pretty miserable. But thankfully, nothing too terribly awful.
