The last 300 meters on the Erg of a 2500meter race/test....

I couldnt see the monitor and I was delerious, but I kept pulling. I then collapsed, threw up for about 20 minutes straight and had to be helped out of the boathouse cause I couldnt walk
 
My aunt had her second child C section, she was one of those unfortunate people that were put to sleep but not unconcious. She felt the whole operation, from then cutting her open to digging the baby out.

She refuses to have another child.

Traveling about 30mph on a road bike down a main street.

You know, I laid my bike (motorcycle) down in some gravel at about 40 and it wasn't all that bad considering. Took a turn waaay too hot and just couldn't keep it from going over once I got into the gravel. The neat part is I was smart enough to be wearing nothing but a polo shirt, jeans, and a helmet at the time. Pretty much the whole back of my forearm is scared from where I shredded the thing on the gravel. Just got up and rode home. Strange how some things hurt and some things dont....

id say when i gave blood once. i told the nurse, who to this day i dont think was a real nurse, that i usually get blood drawn from the top of my hand.

Shes like i never heard of that, and proceeds to do it from my elbow area. For some reason, my veins dont show up there. I have no idea or a reason.

So shes got the needle thing in there and shes moving it around under my skin. I took about 10 seconds of it, and grabbed her wrist and told her to let go. I took some cotton, and removed the needle.

I couldnt write or move my arm for 2 days.

i beat you all. I was circumcised when I was 11. The sugery wasn't too bad because I was numbed up but still awake. I refused to look down and look at the doctor cutting off the fore skin.

I could NOT sleep for the following 3 weeks because now that the inner head was exposed, it was EXTREMELY sensitive to everything touching. (for you already circumsized heads, it's not sensitive because it's turned into scar tissues.)

ugh.

You didn't beat me.
 
i had a problem with my knee and i let the doc give me shot of cortozone or whatever into it

extremely painful, it hurt really really bad going in

after about an hour though, it felt better . effects lasted 3-4 weeks
 
When I was little I had my thumb smashed in a drawer, my thumb nail got stuck under a piece of metal sticking out and the drawer wouldn't open so I had to pull my thumb out and ripped my finger nail off. That was the worst pain I ever experienced.

I've never felt such pain.

Nope, I was stone cold sober.

Although when the 10 stitches were put into the bottom of my foot, I sure wished I was.
 
Easy. Migraine.

I get occular migraines and it is apparently triggered by MSG (at least I figured out the damn reason)...

The worst case was prob a year ago one Friday afternoon after eating at my favorite chinese take-out place. It tasted damn good because it must be loaded with MSG. Well after the lunch, I got back to work and I started seeing white auras and had a blind spot. I began to feel naucious. All the while, my [manager] wanted me to send out a note to someone regarding a project before I left (he found out I was having symptoms and needed me to get the note out anyway)... well I finally got out of there but the symptom stage had passed and the migraine started setting in.

BAD. Very Very Bad. Light, noise, motion, anything would aggrivate it. This on top of the nausea was HELL. I finally got home after 15 minutes of local DRIVING with this feeling and I could barely make it upstairs into bed. I think I actually wanted to get knocked unconscious so I wouldn't have to endure the pain. Lasted about 6 hours... in bed, unable to go puke, unable to even roll in bed because of the pain from movement... and in a cold sweat. My prescription Zomig couldn't even catch this one in time ... just thinking about it makes me naucious... migraines SUCK. MSG is the devil.

This pain was worse than the time I had to have an emergency spleenectomy after a hockey accident... and that was hardly a picnic.
 
I have a few which are tied.

Badly sprained ankle (doc said "wow, I've never seen one this bad"). Darned basketball.

Several times in my adult life I have had brutal abdominal pain, as in fetal position and touching me anywhere made it even worse.

Had some murderous headaches too some years ago, which, coincidentally (see post above by another) may have been MSG related. It invariably gives me headaches now, so back when I didn't know the relation, I was eating lots of Chinese food at a place which I didn't know even used MSG (double-whammy).

And the latest... hemorrhoids... really bad, as in size-of-my-thumb inflamation. Trust me, it SUCKS.

Thank goodness for bike helmets. I was once rear-ended by car when coming off of the Brooklyn Bridge (yes, it's possible). OTB, baby! (Over the HandleBars) I avoided probably the worst pain ever there with my helmet and hands. Learn to fall... a broken arm is better than a broken head (though my arms survived without breaking (but dang were they sore)).

While on the bike topic... riding long hills until almost passing out. Yes, I only stop if I'm about to fall because I physically can't turn those pedals enough (Fausto et al should appreciate that). That sort of pain is pretty bad, but not quite in the same league as the above. This sort of thing almost feels good the moments before the top of the hill (if ya make it). 🙂
 
Two separate things:
Physical: Appendectame in 9th grade. Appendix burst before it was removed.
Food poisoning in college in 1994. Only time I actually felt like wishing myself dead.

Mental: Watching all my stocks slide down in 1999/2000 without having the balls to sell before I lost my ass.
 
Not having insurance when I was pregnant with my 2nd child, and being 2 weeks overdue with her.

They put me on Pitocin which speeds up and intensifies labor, but they wouldn't give me any painkiller because I was poor.

That birth felt like a train crashing through a train station. I actually wept when I got pregnant with my 3rd child years later, because I was terrified of going through that kind of pain again.

umm...that sounds pretty wrong. Can they do that? Maybe you could have sued or something...
 
Physical pain is nothing compared to the mental pain an impossible love can cause. Physical pain can be turned off, and used to strengthen yourself in accomplishing something.

I've walked around with a broken toe for months, and I'd gladly break it again if I had to choose between that or falling in love again.

It is pretty wrong. Barbaric, even. A few years after I went through that, someone in California sued a hospital for the same thing, not sure what the outcome of the case was, though.

The idea is that if you are on Medicaid (which I was, many years ago when we were poor college students) they don't want to give you an epidural because the hospital won't get reimbursed enough.

The person I really wanted to sue was my MIL. I could have paid for better health care but she charged us every penny we had to live in her opulent house for a year. Seriously. She figured out how much we owed her per square foot, added for food and air conditioning, and pretty much left us broke. IF my husband had the balls to leave his mother then, we could have lived with MY parents for free. And thus afforded health care. But no...

LOL, can you tell I still twitch when I think about it? 😛



 
i had a cut on my knuckle and i was carrying a marine battery which was just overcharged so the acid/water was leaking out of the top. i accidentally dipped the knucle in the acid.

holy sh*t that hurt so bad. the 10 seconds it took for me to get to a sink felt like 4 hours.
 
I was in an accident in Jan. 1999, broke my tail bone, colar bone, 4 ribs, and fractured my left leg all in the same moment. I was bed ridden for 2 months.... it was quite painful for around a month. After which the vicodine and two other prescription drugs starts easing the pain a little.
