Worst pain you've experienced

Kidney stones for me too. But ironically the last one I had probably saved my life. The job I did had a medical fitness certificate required and the protocol after a stone was to have an ultrasound 2 years after a stone. I went for the scan, where they found a tumour in my kidney that showed absolutely no symptoms. 3 weeks later kidney was removed and surgeon described it as a "Vinny Jones". What do you mean I asked, nasty and aggressive was his reply. I took early retirement a few months later as it brought everything into perspective.

Glad things turned out okay for you Blue. My scan was clear thankfully. Generally, most people who experience kidney stones can expect an 80% chance of a recurrence. After two episodes some eight years ago, it appears I'm one of the lucky 20%.

Right, talk to me, how do you sort out Sciatica ? Pulled my back over Christmas whilst doing a bit of DIY, seemed to go right but now have sciatica in my hip thigh and knee.
Ibuprofen seems to alleviate it a bit and I keep doing the exercises the physio has sent me but it doesn't seem to be getting any better.
Thinking about seeing a Chiropractor but not sure if it's the best idea with it being nerve related.

Only had Sciatica once for 3 months start to recovery.
Doctor medicated to rest me for six weeks for the inflammation to subside - bed to bathroom basically, then able to slowly get fitness back by walking around the house then walking the dog.
Plenty advised stretching etc but couldn't stand up straight for no more than 30 seconds.
Doctor must have got my treatment right as not had any episode since.
Good luck with yours.

Without a shadow of a doubt, kidney stones. No analgesics touched it. I'm not normally one for hyperbole but, if someone had passed me a loaded gun, I'd have happily shot myself just to relieve the pain. Most women will tell you that the most excruciating pain they have ever experienced is childbirth. Not surprising when you consider it must be like shitting a football. When researching the condition I came across a number of comments from women who had experienced both. Tellingly, they all said they'd take childbirth over kidney stones.

Same here. I collapsed in the bank a few years ago. The pain was so intense I'd have shot myself there and then. When I eventually got to hospital they maxed me out on morphine and I could still feel the pain!
 
i have non stress induced atrial fibrillation (hereditary neurological condition).
the pain of AF isn't too bad but before I was diagnosed and treated it led to a hypoxic fit, which was basically a seizure while I was fully conscious. Lying on the floor and repeatedly headbutting the wooden deck at the back of my house was the scariest and most painful and terrifying thing I can remember.
I am not sure if it was all about the pain or whether it was seeing the deck keep coming and hitting me in the face or the the fact I couldnt control my body and really didnt think it was ever going to end

Christ, that must have been horrendous. Then again, it does sound remarkably like the experience of most City fans during the eighties and nineties!

3 things mentioned being painful and I've had them all and most likely to happen to large amount of people are sciatica ( laid up), kidney stones ( operation to remove) but the bastard for me is gout ( plenty of times).
Gout free for a few years now due to Alpurinol.

In the old days I managed to get into trouble with a few fellas and got grabbed. This went downhill pretty quickly because I hurt one of them quite badly in the struggle. It involved systematic torture. Sawed through my knee and used a hammer on the other one, lump hammer to both hands systematically breaking every bone in each hand and turning them to mush, broken feet, broken jaw, slashed quite a few times and had petrol poured over me and was threatened with being burned alive. It was a long two days. Never underestimate the power of a gang egging each other on and losing their minds. I believe it’s how a lot of murders happen. The knees were like nothing I have felt before or since but after a period of time the human body does turn off and you drift to other places where you can’t quite feel pain.

As a result of some of the injuries, I had plastic surgery to repair some of the damage to my face and because I had self medicated because of some of the pain of the other injuries, the surgery took place without any anaesthesia. That was pretty rough as I was awake and having wounds and stitching to the inside and outside of my cheek and the muscles needed stitching too. That was a four hour operation whilst I was awake and with no pain relief at all.

worst pain ever, kidney stones. Fucking nightmare….

what's the worst pain you've experienced?

I once trapped my finger in a metal door pulled it out as I panicked and degloved the tip of my finger, so the bone was poking out.

That wasn't fun.


Medical pain answer's only please. No watching city under Pearce, ball etc.... :)

Same happened to my mate 25 years ago, we worked in a warehouse and he found a ring on his way to work, one of those sovereign ones that where all the rage In the 80’s….anyway he stuck it on his little finger and went about his work, he needed something off a pallet on level 1 and climbed up the racking, jumped down & caught his finger…stripped to the bone like yours, he’s now one digit down & called Kit Kat :)
 
Gout... then when it was at it's worst point my youngest who was a toddler then jumped on my foot as I lay in bed
 
Got glassed once, that didn’t hurt as alcohol and adrenaline kicked in. the wonderful Serbian doctors however put stitches in my face but without any anisthetic, the needle and thread weren’t exactly wee either. They had to pin me down. The uk hospital were they fixed the mess uses pictures of my stitches as training on how not to do stitches.

Broke my wrist 2 years ago, didn’t know it was broken till I went to non emergency A&E 24hr later, that pain was nothing compared to the stitches.
 
Having the 6"x4" area where my skin craft was taken from remove 48 hrs after have the opp.
Never felt pain like it.

The two nurses that did it got an all mighty bollocking of the surgeon the next day. It shouldnt have been changed unless it was turning gangrene which it wasnt. It was meant to come of naturally with the scab.

The pain of pulling of raw skin still brings me out in a cold sweat even now nearly 40 years on !
 
Having that camera up my bellend to see inside my stomach or somewhere. Absolute fuckin pain like no other :( Then the woman had the audacity to say, ooh be quiet you big girl. To which I replied FUCK OFF!! My eyes have never watered so much in my life. Upshot was, i didn't need it in the first place, but safety first and all that. :(

I’ve dislocated knuckles, cracked a carpal, broken a metatarsal when a ladder dropped on my foot when I had no shoes on, broken two fingers, nearly chopped my thumb off when cutting into a butternut squash, snapped ligaments in my ankle... but my top 3 are:

3. Tooth ache, back bottom molar, ended up having the tooth out. I kept going for a few months through the pain thinking it would go away but it just got worse. One night it was so bad I tied a belt around my face to put a bit of pressure on it and was swigging rum straight from the bottle and I cried!

2. Ear infection caught in Cyprus, so bad I had to go on a drip in hospital! They gave me morphine. I cried with the pain of that n’all haha

1. GOUT! The pain was so intense I was shouting and whaling while driving to the hospital... what a pain... WHAT A PAIN! Too painful to cry!
