    Jumped off a cliff into water (because everyone else was) at age 16. I went down so quickly that the water pressure ruptured my eardrum and forced water onto inner ear. I developed an ear infection so excruciating that I cried unknowingly IN MY SLEEP. It was even worse than the pain I had when I was pushed forward ice skating and landed face first on my front tooth. The pain was horrible. The tooth nerve died, and the tooth turned gray inside. I had to have that tooth until I got a crown at age 19.

    I've had kidney stones a number of times... passing those is quite painful.

    But the winner for me was from an accident on my motorcycle. Foot got caught under the shift lever during the accident, and the peg, the shift lever, and my foot all snapped. My left food literally snapped in half, all the way around so my toes were where my heel is. That was bad... only time I've ever gone into shock from pain.

    Opened a hot radiator cap on my car when I was 17.. a volcano of hot water and steam erupted into my face and neck. I suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Burn pain lasts forever... Luckily I made a full recovery and have no scars to this day.. although I was wrapped up like the Mummy for about 2 months.

    @DebSozo I know what you mean about the earache!!! I tell people that the pain I experienced from an earache is worse than that of natural birth or a c-section....my scale of 1-10 with 10 being excruciating pain:
    Torn ligaments, broken tailbone, scratched/scarred cornea-4
    C-section, natural birth -6
    Earache, toothache-8
    Kidney infection/pain- 9
    Hope i never experience 10

    My knees are constantly popping out which is always a special kind of horrendous but I'm almost used to after so many years. I'd say unmedicated childbirth still wins the day for me, haha

    I left out having MRSA on my spine affecting my entire nervous system. But the heartbreak still was worse.

    Inguinal hernia surgery repair - because the mesh failed and I got a triple hernia to let me know.

    I compare it to getting field dressed and getting kicked in my junk by a NFL punter - simultaneously.

    On the plus side, oxycodone was amazing B)

    My third child was 9lbs 12 oz..she was born completely drug free and broke my pelvis on the way out. Not pretty.

    I was about 12 pounds....40 stitches later, I made my way out....messed up my mom's hips for life. I feel like I made up for it by a) immediately and consistently sleeping 11 - 12 hours through the night and b) giving my dad my kidney so she could keep her husband for a little longer ;)

    My hips are all f*cked up....more so because I didnt realize that my pelvis was broken for almost 2 months. I was in crazy pain but was told several times that it was just because of her size and how rough the delivery was. She was my third child (1 previous c/s and 1 previous natural birth....I KNEW something was wrong. The only thing that made them realize it was something more was when i went in for a checkup, dragging my leg behind me, sobbing hysterically, as I limped into the office carrying the baby.

    good gravy! what do they even do for that after it's been so long since the trauma occurred?

    All-natural childbirth. Nothing can ever compare after that.

    Kidney stones. Worse than the pain from 2 c-section recoveries.

    Broken ribs. Complete breaks. Nothing helps and everything hurts. Very painful.

    when I was little I used to get these chest cramps that would hurt so bad that when I breathed in the pain would be almost unbearable to the point I almost would pass out or cry. It gradually stopped when I reached like 14 or 15...never found out why or what it was lol

    Abscessed tooth with a cavity drilled too close to a nerve ending. I also have a lot of jaw problems that I'm getting corrected with surgery soon.

    This is making me realize I haven't felt real pain. I had a natural birth of a 10+ lb kiddo, but I didn't think it was that bad. Some of y'all have been through serious trauma.
