Your most intense pain ever?

While skating, figure skating, I was as one doctor put it "wish boned" when I was skating in a line of people holding onto shoulders and one side went faster than the other. I had to finish the session with my had in my pocket because I couldn't support my arm and any time I moved it was crazy pain. I drove people home and then couldn't move my arm the next morning.

Recently I walked into my kitchen island, broke my baby toe, and had to figure skate the next day for a competition. I went to practice the next morning to make sure I could skate. I couldn't really put weight on that foot so I changed some steps so I could skate. Not sure how I skated really since I couldn't walk on that foot but hey yay for adrenalin and pain killers.

btw it's now 5 weeks later ( I might have skated for 2 weeks after the initial injury) and finally I think I might be able to put my foot in my skate. I plan on trying it out tonight!

My second c-section. I could feel the knife go across my belly and then it felt like my whole mid-section was on fire. I was in tears and kept telling them it hurt so bad. As soon as the baby was out they pumped something into my iv that knocked me out.

I'm pretty sure they miscalculated something when administering my epidural. I've had 3 c-sections and that was the only one that hurt.

Torsed ovary

About a month ago I have sciatica in both legs. I Was bed ridden for week.

Having a "natural " birth of a child that is 10 lbs 12 oz and his head was 15 1/2 inches, ripped from you with forceps.....That was nearly 17 years ago, I think having an arm ripped off in a freak accident would hurt less.

My entire pelvic/sacral/hip region felt like it was made of shards of glass that would grind. I rated the pain 9.5, the chiropractor asked why not 10, I figured I'd pass out at 10. I was afraid to move because of the intensity of the pain, the only position that was bearable was to stand and lean over the counter. I don't know what it's called, I just say "my hips are out". I really hope it never happens again.

bone marrow biopsy. stupid pathologist was new. took an hour and a half to do a 15 minute job. It was made worse by the fact that it was completely unnecessary, but i was basically being held hostage by the fact that the kidney transplant team wouldn't allow me to continue with the donation process if i didn't do it...despite the hematologist (the actual expert in this area) saying my numbers didn't really necessitate a biopsy or aspiration. So it was kind of like...."choose to let yourself be tortured for 6 times the usual length of this procedure even though local anaesthetic has 0% effect on you (something they were well aware of beforehand) and we're not willing to do anything else to mitigate the pain.....oooor go ahead and let Dad die...your call."

Some people thought I was just being a drama queen, but normally I don't feel pain (like the time I broke a toe and didn't even know it happened until I saw it sticking out perpendicular to my foot and turning fun colors), so the fact that I would absolutely NEVER consent to doing that again even if i DID have a medical issue that would warrant it should say something...I mean...to put it in perspective, I did donate my kidney. The general anaesthetic was mildly effective, though they had to use more for my size than usual I think...and I did wake up sooner (and immediately fully with it) than expected in recovery....but other than that I didn't have so much as a tylenol, either in the hospital or afterwards at home. I immediately had no problem sitting up, standing myself up to move from the gurney to the bed while the nurses/orderlies discussed how best to move me. I didn't feel a lick of pain through the whole process and would donate 1000 times over if i had another 1001 kidneys to work with. But i'd rather die than do a bone marrow biopsy again.

Last year, I had an awful TMJ flare up throughout most of the summer.

It's a sharp, stabbing pain from the end of my jaw to my inner ear. It would wake me up every night, one night was so bad, I stayed up for a couple of hours desperately trying to do anything to make it stop.

I've been told I have a high tolerance for pain.....one natural birth (no meds) and 4 c-sections later and I think it's no big deal. Does not faze me one bit. Dislocated shoulder, torn ligaments on both ankles, scratched cornea with corner of dresser, broken tailbone, and ear surgery....all were tolerable. However, my kidney infection that had me in the hospital for 7 days with 104 fever is right up there with a toothache and an ear ache.

Got hit by a dirtbike when I was 6, was about an hr away from gangrene. Couldnt have a graft surgery then because I was too young. Had to redress/bandage my leg every day for 2 years until I had grown enough to be able to have a successful skin graft. I don't want to try to explain what it was like because it would be useless.

Fun times

Most recently I've injured my shoulder and neck and it's impinging my optical nerve. Think white hot stabbing dagger directly through one eye and sending the most intense pain I have ever felt through my face and head. And for context, I had a 9lb 3oz baby with no pain relief. Now every time I do anything high impact I get the same pain and it takes weeks to resolve every time I flare it. Fun.

Having three teeth pulled without without being numbed. Close second dual kidney stones.
