I get Migraines. Those fucking SHUT me down. Feels like a clamp on my temples and someone just slowly is cranking it down.

Getting Pepper Sprayed. It felt light my face was literally on fire.

Once I had intestinal blockage, and the stomach cramps/pain made me to go to the Emergency Room.

Did you get it back?

I'm assuming you mean did I get my finger reattached? Yes I did, I have lost almost all feeling in it but can still bend it just not all the way down because of a metal pin or some shit in there. I was young so I don't really remember what the procedure was.

I also have a gnarly scar on my back from a Sauna when I was little. Instead of suing the gym my dad thought it was a much better idea if we did not mention it because he didn't want to get kicked out.

I burned myself on a steam cooker at work one time. I was cleaning it out (arm all the way inside), when the power when out. When it flickered back on, I got a huge blast of steam, which hurt a lot more than other burns I've had, because it dries the hell out of your skin, and you can feel it for a few days.

2 Concussions playing football. Was playing in a game when this big dude ran at me and lowered his helmet into mine. When the play was over i was could tell something was up but i kept playing anyway. Next play they running back basically trucked me, i remember nothing after that. Then i came too and their was our physical trainer dude looking at me on the side lines giving me the concussion test, no idea how i got their. Its preety scary to not remember stuff that happened to you 5 minutes ago but i went to the doctor and didnt have any permeanent brain damage so i got lucky.

I had glans adhesion as child, which means I was circumcised as an infant, but then the skin on my shaft reattached itself to the head of my penis. My doctor said that it could lead to problems, so at age 12 I had to get recircumcised. My entire penis became a giant scab, and for three weeks afterwards I had to pour hydrogen peroxide on it twice a day.

GAH!

Yeah, did we really need to know that?

LeshLush for the win. I'll concede that it was probably more painful.

living in AZ is pretty painful

Also, I have never really been in much pain (Yay for me!), but I think the worst pain I got was when I broke my left arm. It hurt A LOT when it just happened, but while I was being driven to the hospital, I felt rather fine. The doctors even thought that the wound would just heal by itself, however an xray of it revealed the bone was completely broken off, and my arm had to be put in a cast. But the intial pain was terrible.

Another thing that is quite painful are random gut cramps, like someone here has said. I am not a fan of them.

I enjoy pain. It lets me know I am indeed alive, and is the only constant in life other than change.

Broken bones suck, as do sprains.

Another awesome incident was in 9th grade when I decided to skip out of gym early. Me and my friend had a cool system worked out, so using the side doors we ran out and I immediately slide on some ice and hit the ground. Since we were in such a hurry, I hadn't put my coat on. So at first, I thought I had just fallen on my ass, so I got up and laughed it off and put my coat on. So being in 9th grade, I couldn't just leave...so I basically just hung around the front of the building, and after about 2 minutes, my right arm felt soaking wet, I figured I got some snow in there or something.

Nope, it turns out when I hit the ground, my arm caught some sharp ice and cut me from my wrist all the way up to my elbow and I was gushing blood. Upon seeing it, the pain set in and immediately sought out the nurse. Of course, as I'm walking down the hall with blood pouring all over the ground, the vice principal sees me and coincidentally enough thinks I was part of a fight that happened between 2 black girls.

So instead of going down to the nurse, I was in the office with 2 black girls giving me looks like "WTF is going on?" It took nearly 10 minutes of pleading, but I finally got the vice principal to believe me. Luckily the wound wasn't deep enough to require stitches so I got bandaged up and went on my way. And because I took extra special care of it, I didn't receive a scar from it, which I'm still very amazed by.

I mentioned it earlier but I thought I'd post it for @om*d's sake:

My stories don't quite compare to Knyte's, Aika's, or LeshLush's, but I've experienced a few painful things in my time.

Two years ago I had a urinary tract infection for about three weeks. During that time, I could barely go to the bathroom, and every time I did it felt like I was pissing spikes doused in boiling water. It wasn't until after the sixteenth day that I discovered cranberry juice. Now, I drink at least a liter of cranberry juice every day.

When I was fourteen I had to get surgery on my left big toe because of an ingrown toenail. After the doctor sprayed my toe with some kind of brown stuff to make it numb, he inserted a needle into it to numb it further, and he accidentally scraped the bone in my toe. That felt pleasant.

Around November of 2009, one morning I suddenly felt sick, so I went to the bathroom, stood in front of the toilet, and threw up so hard that I popped a bunch of blood vessels in my face and I threw out my back. My back hurt so much that I could barely breathe (and I wasn't even breathing so much as coughing, my usual reaction to intense pain), and eventually I just laid on the floor and couldn't move. My parents helped me over to the living room couch, where I laid until the next day when I went to the chiropractor. After doing a scan on my back, he told me it looked like I'd been in a car wreck.

One time when I was seven, my sister pushed me into a two-foot tall tower made of legos that I had built, and a little green cylinder Lego got stuck in my ankle.

Every once in a while when I stretch out while laying in bed in the morning, I'll get this obnoxiously intense cramping pain that starts in the bottom-middle of my foot and shoots through my entire leg.

Also, every once in a while, for about five to ten seconds, I'll get a blinding pain in the left side of my head. I have no idea why it happens (though sometimes it gets so intense that I end up falling over), and when it's over, it's completely gone until it happens again.

I'm not a Doctorb or anything, but you might want to get that checked out.

If i ever should see you around driving in my car, i run you right over fella. Then the only constant in your life will be the crutch you'll need for walking. And all that for your enjoyment! Wink

I always forget this one, but when I was little, I fell down the steps, slashed open my eyebrow, and it bled like a motherfuck. They found out later that I was immune to the anesthetic right about the time when they were sticking the needle for the stitches into my eyebrow. I was around 9 years old when they did this. I refuse to go back to a hospital for any other reason than an emergency to this day. It may not hurt much if they did it now, but back then, it scared the hell out of me.

I get that too, but it stays in my foot. It's a crazy intense muscle cramp in the middle of the side of my foot where that big muscle is which can last up to 30 seconds. What's weird is while it's cramping, the muscle goes rock hard.

Yeah, I second that you get that checked out. That could be a symptom of something.

Worse pain of the more common variety: Intestinal Cramps. Then kind that double you over and you feel like someone is stabbing you with a knife a few inches below the belly button. Fuck, I hate those.

This is it for me. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome which means I have diarrhea fairly often and I have to pay attention to my diet lest my bowel punish me. And it does so by causing the most intense and unbelievably painful cramps that could possibly exist.

It's not very often i come across another person with IBS. I was diagnosed with it during summer of 2009.

The intestinal pain is absolutely awful, though what i find worse is the nausea that accompanies it so you've intestinal pain and your puking your guts out. Shit sucks.

Christ Knight. I have to have my wisdom teeth pulled in the next few months and you're telling me a gunshot wound is less intense than oral surgery?

I've been relatively lucky. Considering all the stupid crap I've done, I've never broken anything or had surgery, but here are mine:

Sustained pain: My friend threw me off a staircase once. It was the old spiral kind so I went over the rail at the top and straight down. I hit the last step with the small of my back. It took weeks before I could stand up straight again.

Most Intense: During Rugby practice, I got stepped on. The cleat went in between my kneecap and the other part. I was fine after an hour or two, but I threw up from the pain.

What I just had done wasn't as bad as what I've posted previously in the thread but it was still pretty fucking awful I'd say in my Top 5 most painful experiences. I just had an EMG done on my legs today. They fucking electrocuted my legs repeatedly and since apparently I was not appreciative of that pain the guy proceeds to stab me with a huge needle in all the spots he just got done electrocuting. Every time the needle went in it started to feel like the spot was on fire, when it went out all the muscles cramped up so bad that I wanted to scream. I seriously still have a cramped up calf muscle three hours afterwards. I also found out the pinched nerve in my back has basically fucked me up really good, and that is always really great news to get.

Puncture wounds hurt like hell as soon as you remove whatever punctured you.
