Worst pain you've experienced?

The first GP swore blind to me that I couldn't get it on the NHS, even though she wasn't familiar with the procedure (nuss). The second GP was very helpful and referred me to the Heart Hospital in London and after a consultation and some tests I got a date for it.
I think it depends on the GP you get.

Thanks for that mate. I'm toying with the idea of getting something done but don't fancy the NUSS procedure. Just wondered if they were particularly difficult in convincing that you are a good candidate for it.

Was it done for cosmetic or purely medical reasons? I don't personally believe it causes me any medical problems hence why I think they wouldn't entertain me.
 
A shoulder dislocation, which tore the labrum and stretched some nerves. The second time it dislocated was far less painful (due to the already slackened joint).

I had surgery to fix it and the most painful part of this was the lack of prescribed stool softener to be used in conjunction with the codeine :mad::mad::mad:
 
Ulcerative colitis. Worst pain I have ever experienced. Internal bleeding while the lining of your colon is stripped away by ulcers.

Good times!

:rolleyes:

Toothache in my wisdom tooth a while back. Even popping some of my mums back pain pills didnt help that much.

I also have a cyst on my tailbone that is really painful when it flares up. When it does its a week of constant dull pain. Seems to get worse at night and keeps me awake. Getting it sorted out isnt an easy task and the treatments sound horrific. Cutting it out and then packing the hole with gauze until it heals and having a nurse coming to change the gauze every day... no thanks :eek:

**wonders if its worth mentioning that its more than likely a pilonidal sinus and the longer you leave it, the bigger it gets and the longer it takes to recover....*
 
Frozen shoulder is a condition that leads to pain and stiffness of the shoulder. It's also known as adhesive capsulitis or shoulder contracture.:(

Sick of the damn thing, can't even put my tops on anymore without almost crying from it, and as for sleeping! (what sleep) It wakes me up every night and this thing can last for years. :confused::mad::confused: My Physio has now said I need to have injections to try and manage the pain.
 
After a hernia op. Was dosed up to the eyeballs on painkillers the nurse said I was on the maximum dose and couldn't have any more and the pain was completely excrutiating. Could barely sleep the first few nights it was so bad.
 
hoover plug..jumped on it from three stairs up as me and my brother rushed down one morning

pulling it out was worse than it going in
 
Utterly small beer compared to some in this thread, but having got to my late 40s without ever having any kind of tooth-related calamity nor breaking a bone, just about the worst pain I can remember was getting hit full in the nuts by a football when I was at school and was daft enough to volunteer to be the goalie ... I think I may even have been trying to stop a penalty at the time, but all I know for sure is my legs gave way totally and I collapsed like the proverbial sack of spuds.

I remember having verrucas a lot when I was about 7-10, which at the time felt like having a hot nail driven into my foot, but that's probably the kind of thing you'd barely notice as an adult - however, an injury to one's plums hurts whatever your age ...
 
I've put my back out several times but one time in particular I was bending down at work and it felt like an explosion in my lower back, I was in agony and couldn't even sit down for hours as it was too painful to go through the movements, I just leaned against a wall.

Went home, laid down on the sofa and couldn't get up! It hurt a thousand times more than when I broke my ankle, insane pain!

Another time I got severe sunburn on my legs, not only was it agony but I had to keep my legs elevated as whenever I'd get up, it felt like acid was pouring down my legs, the doc said it was fluid build-up that would run down to my feet when mavity allowed.

Ended up being bandaged up with these wet sterile bandages and on steroid tablets to heal that one! I'll have to dig out the pictures as my legs were purple!

I was only on Brighton beach too! not like I was in some crazy hot country.

Trapped a nerve in my neck which was insane agony too, did that in the gym training shoulders somehow.

Breaking my ankle wasn't comparable to the three things I've mentioned, they were all much worse on the pain scale, maybe because I was in shock.
 
Two things spring to mind - and one of them almost makes me tear up in recollection. The first was a slipped disc / micro fracture in the lower spine while doing deadlifts. Months of pain and sleeping with my legs in the air. But that isn't the one that gives me nightmares!! Oh no - the one that sticks with me was sprinting through my parents house as a kid, getting too close to the wall and whacking my foot between my 2nd and 3rd toes right into a radiator. The kind of pain that makes the world stop in silence before it whooshes into you like a tidal wave!

There is a particular kitesurfing trick where you jump about as high as you can and loop the kite. This produces a huge amount of pull which is where the 'ooh this is cool' sensation comes from...

The issue is, that if you don't go high enough the kite won't catch you, so to speak and you will hit the water at a fair whack over 35-40mph, with your bottom.

LAst year I had a crash doing one of these where I hit the water incredibly hard, though my wetsuit had done some magic and presented my chaps to the water slightly before my backside did.

I was in so much pain I threw up 3 or 4 times, my kidneys felt like they were going to leave my body through my armpits. The weirdest thing was that it felt as though I had done something very OCUK, but instead of a letter box it was my wetsuit. I felt violated.

I’ve had this many times. Ultimate backslap / water in the back of your eye sockets moments. Seen a lot of broken people because of this, speaking of which how is Lewis Cratherngetting on?
 
dropped a bed on my little toe once and it turned rather rapidly into a little pancake. I said some very rude words in front of my mum which was a little embarrassing at the time.
