Your most intense pain ever?

gcibsthom

Got shot in the right shoulder and the bullet and bone shards tore up my right lung and gave me 14 exit wounds. The worst part was yet to come when I was in the Trauma Center ER, and they made two incisions (I don't think there was time for anesthetic..) to insert chest tubes....I passed out thankfully, and woke up later in the ICU. I was on the critical list for two days...

broken foot 20 bones and tore 1 ligament on Christmas day pain is still intense worse than being in induced labor for 72 hours knee replacement surgeries as if in 2 back pain from spine being curved and arthritis from neck to coccyx epigastric hernia repair 2 and 3 degree sunburn over 65 percent of my body. broken right arm fell off a cliff and peeled both knees wide open and broke right arm and didn't know it I only knew that I hurt like heck if had to say which was worse it would be a toss up between foot back or knees pain is with me all the time! hopefully back will be better today going to chiropractor today see if a adjustment will help!

Gallstones. Second place, two ruptured ovarian cysts--fortunately not at the same time!

This one time I had one of those really large, hard poos that stings like hell to pass whilst at the same time placing my bare foot on a plug that was for some reason on the floor right beside my toilet. Oh and in my desperate rush to the toilet I caught my knee on the corner of the door, but like just a little so it's not the full knee but just the edge of it so it hurts more. That was quite a bad time.

4 years old: right big toe cut off by the teeth/chain area of a bicycle while riding barefoot behind my brother. Had to travel for 2 hours to find a surgeon who could reattach it. Never forget riding in that car and my mom trying to hold my foot together. Finally get to the hospital (3rd btw as evidently the area was having a golf tournament..NOT a joke) only to then have 3 nurses and my grandmother hold me down so I could get 6 shots (including 1 in the cutoff toe). It was reattached but wasn't sure it would work, but they were hopeful the bone would fuse. 38 years later and my toe works just fine. It's stunted, scarred, and has early onset arthritis but hey at least I still have it!

6 years old: said brother from bicycle accident above pushed me off a dock into a lake. Unbeknownst to us the lake was a dumping ground for old cars. I landed on the windshield of a car and glass lodged under the pad of my foot from one side to the other. We didn't have insurance so my dad's treatment was to take me home, give me a belt to bite on, and dig the glass out with pliers, tweezers, and douse with alcohol and peroxide.

12 years old: Idiot on the school bus stepped on my toe with cowboy boots. Gangrene nearly set in, said if I had waited another day or two it would've been too late. They had to lance (slice) and manually drain it (squeeze) from above the ankle down through the toe without any pain meds or numbing agent.

18 years old: walking up steps, top of my sandal caught on a nail sticking out which made me stumble. It burned at first but when I looked down I almost passed out. Ripped a jagged 4 inch hole bone deep.

To be honest, I have a high pain threshold. So aside from the 4 & 6 year stuff everything didn't really hurt or at least not as bad. I've had LOTS of other stuff too: broken bones, stung by jellyfish, adult tonsillectomy, busted my head open, childbirth, car accidents, kicked in the head by a horse only to run home and trip on the rug and fall head first on the edge of a coffee table in the same exact spot, etc. There is one thing I can't get out of my head. Breaks my heart to remember and it was a shared pain. My sister has cerebral palsy and had multiple surgeries to try to strengthen her legs. After every surgery we had to put her in her leg braces everyday to help stretch them (imagine the ones from Forrest Gump, same model). Broke our hearts as she screamed, cried, and fought every single time, day after day. I was 3 or 4 having to hold her knees flat so my oldest sister could secure the pads. Never will forget her screams and tears. She can walk and dance, so maybe it was worth it but those memories are pain filled.
