Compare, say, poison oak to a broken wrist. I'd rather feel the broken wrist. I really hate stuff that itches and won't stop. Poison oak is pure evil in plant form.

Ice down the itchiness. Pain isn't as simple to control.

even though i get bad itches all the time due to skin conditions, i'd have to say pain is worse. because if i itch i can at least relieve it scratching, but pain hurts so bad :(

I had poison ivy on my weiner once, and I'd have to say it was 9,000 times worse than severing off my leg with a hacksaw. So for me, I'd say itching.

I'm out with a spiral tibia/fibula fracture (those are both lower leg bones). It hurt worse that anything I could have imagined. I now have a 7" scar, a 6" titanium plate, and 7 screws in my leg. I welcome itchiness.

Itchiness is the shworst! Just think about if you were somehow restrained and you had an itch that you couldn't scratch - it would drive you insane! Pain, on the other hand, you just suck it up and take it like a man.

Drugs baby, drugs. Cortizone/the pink stuff relieves itches. Aspirin/Excedrin/Tylenol/etc relieves pain.

So your back is normally smaller than a golf ball? :Q

I've felt some strange pain, stuff that I can't possibly comprehend going through again.

I'd say itchiness. Now, I've been through some good pain but I'll tell you what, I can deal. Itchiness... way too annoying.
