One time I slept in a wierd way and cut off the circulation to my entire right leg the whole night.
I woke up and started walking.. about 5 seconds later I collapsed to the floor. I was like I didn't have a leg I could not feel a thing. I took off my pants and my entire right leg was like a green color :Q . My dad literally freaked (he's a doctor) and he's like, if it stays like that it'll probably have to be cut off Double :Q. The entire day was pure pain as I went in and out of consciousness while the blood slowly seeped back into my leg. Man I hope that never happens again.

I have 4...
1.) 19 years old, got run over by a pickup , broke both legs (right femur, left tibia)
2.) Rehabing after said broken legs, femur was rodded internally, doctor said no weight bearing, left leg casted. Was on parallel bars, physical therapist told me to put my weight on right leg, I objected, she yelled @ me, thought she knew what she was doing, I put maybe 20 lbs of weight on the leg & passed out for about 3 minutes from the pain-only time I've ever passed out from anything.
3.) Cycle wreck, car turned in front of me, broke 7 ribs, collapsed left lung, right humerus compount fracture-where the bone sticks through the skin. I was wearing nearly $1K worth of protective gear (body armor, helmet, gloves, wasn't wearing ccyle boots & I think I broke a toe too, but it was pretty minor compared to having a chest tube placed to re-inflate my lung) I was on my way back from teaching a MSF advanced course-my ortho doc got a big laugh out of that🙁
4.) Kidney stones.
PSA, don't get hit or run over by a car, don't ride cycle, ignore physical therapists if you think they're wrong, and drink lots of water.
Since they cranked up the freking metal detectors after 9-11, I get wanded minimum when going through the damn things, have had to show my scar a few times.

I had tons of zits as a teenager, and my family doctor recommended I see a dermatologist. Went there, and the little sadist had a tool he used to cut out the zits. Never have I cried more than the first time (and last time) I came out of his office. Imagine, if you will, a small tool with a razor blade at the end that is pressed into a zit, which hurts enough, and then is flicked round, effectively slicing it off your skin. It hurt as much to suffer the looks on the bus on the way home while my many bleeding cuts were stuffed with Kleenex.
Pain still lingers ... and I keep my eyes open for that little doctor, though I assume someone else has killed him by now ...

Last year, I had some type of bad food poison or deaseas
Did not eat for two weeks, went to the hospital 3-4 times, no one knew what the faak was wrong with me.
I was living off poweraid and gatoraid, I eat barely nothing for 2 weeks.
THEN, after two weeks, my legs went numb, I could not walk, and I had to wheel my self to take water shits, from lack of food.
Good times :-/

Worst pain??? I had shingles once. want to talk about pain. I littlerally was naked because any piece of clothing that touched them would feel like a thousand needles stabbing me in the nerve roots. I had it running from my lower back up my back and around to my chest and abdomen and right arm.
I'd have to call all of the following a tie-
1. Roadrash from motorcycle wreck. The scrubbing to get the gravel and shat out was the fun part.
2. commuted fracture left clavical skateboarding.
3. Having the back of my right knee torn off and eaten by a large dog when I was 10.
4. Surgery to remove a tonsil suspected of being malignant+laryngoscopy with biopsies, and some exploratory to see what else could be bad up in there. They were attempting to determine if I had lymphoma and the tonsil on that side was scary lookin' said they. Even Jello was broken glass for a week or so.

September this year - I was using a table saw and the board kicked back on me and sucked my hand into the table saw, i got 16 stiches. I have no health insurance, so i only missed the day that i got hurt on. Try carrying 3 cases of beer up a flight of stairs with stiches (i work at a bar).

Was running on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, tripped over one of the steal wires used for catching the jets, and slid on my knee. I was then forced to scrub out the chunks of non-skid myself, using something similar to a scowering pad. Not plesant.

when i was like 10, i was forced to watch an opera i really didnt care for. wasnt allowed to leave before it ended so my bladder was about to explode, literally. with adrenaline pumping, i dashed towards the nearest bathroom and slammed the door shut with an enormous force (all pumped up and stuff). unluckily, my poor index finger got caught on the door and blood started gushing out of my nail like a waterfountain. funny i still had to take a piss first while observing the blood loss from my finger. i nearly passed out on the ride back home 😱
there was another incident i had just few weeks ago, possibly much more painful than the one above. but i am all to embarassed too reveal it to other ATOTers. FYI, it has nothing to do with genitals 😛
