I have a completely reconstructed left ankle because I shattered every bone in there......That hurt ALOT.

I would have to say that the time I was doing some detailed sewing work on my sewing machine... and accidentally ran the needle directly through my right index finger. obviously it broke the needle but I had to undo everything, cut myself off of the machine, get the needle out and the thread that went through my finger as well. It actually didn't bleed as much as you'd have though but I probably would have freaked out much more had I not already had several body piercings done at that point in my life. It hurt for a good week and a half... ended up caring for it like a fresh piercing and managed to escape infection and having to go get antibiotics for it.

I had a miscarriage when I was 20, and that is by far the worst physical pain I've endured, counting having both of my children. I wussed out and had an epi with both of them, but from what I can tell the miscarriage was like going from nothing to full blown labor in less then an hour.

Been dealing with a bad toothache for the past few years, some days the pain has been so bad that I've had to skip work and other such things. I would have gone to the dentist when it started hurting, but I didn't have dental insurance and sure as hell didn't have the money. Seeing the dentist on monday though to see what needs done. :)

The most painful thing I've ever been through was getting my wisdom teeth removed.. Now, the actual surgery was painless, obviously, due to being knocked out. It was done on a Friday and I got lucky enough to get dry socket on both sides of my mouth. This exposed the bone of my jaw to the open air and the lack of a blood clot caused my mouth to bleed for many many hours. Doctor was out for the weekend.. So until Monday I was in agonizing pain around the clock.. taking 6 advil every 4 hours because my stomach couldn't handle the prescription pain killers. Worst weekend of my life. However, my mommy was right by my side the whole time...all day and all night for 3 days.

UGHHH You got the dry socket?!? Ohhh man, I was lucky not to get that but damnnn I've heard that hurts ><;

surprisingly i have never broken anything in my life but i have sparined both ankles several times and i will tell one of those storys i was very lucky. and i have put my hand through a glass door. and like a stupid person i also pulled my hand back out when that only made is worse. I had to get ????7???? stiches i believe the scar now looks like an upside- down heart. lol pretty.
my ankle now that is a story lol
I was biking with my little sister. and the brake on my bike did not work. i was on a bike path and there was a little hill that went down had a stop sign and crossed a road. there were bushes on either side of me. i tryed to look over the bushes and did not see any cars. so i started to go down the hill when i got to the bottom my bike would not stop and when i was able to an suv was comming around the corner and knocked me off my bike. my tires were bent in half and i was thrown. i wound up with a severly sprained ankle surprisingly. but again lucky.
so that is my story sorry no gore

I've had a few excrutiatingly painful experiences.

1) breaking both bones in my forearm (close to the wrist) when I was five. God, I still remember that. The dumbass vice-principal didn't think anything was wrong, even though I couldn't move my own fingers, so he took it upon himself to straighten them himself.

2) getting my finger shut in the fitting room door. My co-worker at Walmart at the time wasn't paying attention and shut the fitting room door with my finger in the crack. The doors have this lip of metal around the frames to keep people from peeking... and it cut my left ring finger to the bone. I didn't have the sense to turn my hand over for a minute to figure out where all the blood was coming from, and when I did... I almost passed out. And again, dumbass authority-figure (in the form of a manager this time) can't think enough to offer me a damn chair. Or a bandaid.

3) spraining my knees. Both of them. On the same day. I was at the lake, wading out of the water, and caught my foot in a hole. My kneecap was twisted around at such a weird angle, I thought it was broken. But I made myself keep going, 'cause I was almost to the friggin' shore... and my other foot caught the SAME HOLE and twisted my other knee. >_> They still snag sometimes if I crouch down & stand up too fast. Not fun.

I heard that too, maybe that's why I ever considered doing it again? ;) Hahaha - but in all seriousness, the pain is worth it all in the end :)

When I was eight years old, me and my mother was in a car accident. We were hit on my side by an off-duty cop(!!) who sped through a stop sign. My ankle was twisted into a clean break (luckily not busting through the skin) and I can’t even remember how much pain I was in. But I do remember that the whole 2 years it took to heal, from the ambulance ride to the final surgery, I was not scared once. Just bored when I had to be in the hospital for longer than a few days.

The most pain I've ever been in is when I used to get menstrual cramps so bad that my face would turn white and I would pass out. I started taking birth control pills when I was 14 and now I hardly even have periods anymore. I just remember wanting to die during those times. I've never really gotten hurt very badly at all before. I've never gotten stitches, broken anything, or even sprained anything. I've never even been stung by a bee. I'll just name all the times I have gotten hurt to make up for that. XP Just about a month ago I was piercing my friends ears with a 16g hollow needle and I poked myself in the finger with it after I was done. It bled a lot but it wasn't nearly serious. Haha. I got even more injured from trying to open a glass picture frame, the glass sliced my thumb up and I think it hit something because it hurt more than I thought could be possible for something like that. When I was around 13 years old I got a planter wort in the bottom of my foot. I tried to dig it out myself but it was too painful and just bled everywhere. So I went to the doctor and he put liquid nitrogen on it to kill the skin. When I tried to leave I passed out in the hallway. I guess killing skin cells makes you light-headed. I came back a week later and he cut it out with a knife. I had a hole in my foot for a while. XD

So, the best stories of pain come from the experiences of my ex-boyfriend. When he was 14 he tore every ligament in his ankle from jumping off of a raised tennis court into a bush. He had to walk home with his ankle messed up and the doctor didn't believe he walked anywhere with that much pain. When he was a freshman in high school he was helping the janitor of the school get gum off a wall with a pressure washer. He had paint on his shoe and decided to wash it off with the 240 degree water. Of course it soaked through the shoe and severly burned his foot. He had to go to the emergency room with several degrees of burns. He said one of the worst parts was when they took the shoe off of his foot and when they cleaned it with a very hard sponge. He had a huge blister bubble where the burn was and there is a scar there now. Another time he dislocated his shoulder on accident and ran into the wall to push it back into place. One day he came home from work with a big gash in his finger where it bends. My mother pulled the wound open and washed it in the sink while he was yelling about the pain. There was so much blood running into the sink that I got light-headed and had to put my head down so I didn't pass out. He later went to the work doctor and got stitches in it.

i've never really experienced any extreme pain.

even though at around age eight i broke my right arm.
however, i don't remember there being any pain.
hmm.

I can't really think of anything. I've never had to get stitches, and I've never broken/sprained anything. I've gotten shin splints in the past track season, which hurt even to walk (running during practice was even worse! they wouldn't let me out of practice until I went to the doctor and had an official note saying I had shin splints. Which, by the way cost me $200 to get told "Uh...yup! You've got shin splints all right. Here's a note.") : l Really?

And so that lasted for about a year because it took that long to heal. Track started in the spring, and by the end of the summer that year, I could still feel the pain when I would squeeze the shin of my legs. Even when school started this year, I could feel it a little bit.

But I guess the most recent pain I felt was when I was cracking my toes (I do that out of habit), and my toe right next to my big toe stuck straight out, like flat. I think the bone shifted down in my foot (my mom called it a "charlie horse" and she said it would go away in a few seconds.) But it didn't! It stayed like that in HORRIBLE pain for almost 10 minutes. It was like my toe was stuck. Now I can't feel the knuckle on that toe because I think it moved downward and it's stuck like that. And sometimes I can still feel it when I walk. It's hard to describe the way it feels...but it's just weird. I should probably get an x-ray but whatever.

I really love these stories, haha!
Is that weird of me?
I mean.. I'd feel so bad if someone were hurt right now.. but knowing it was in the past makes it sort of funny to look back on.

the worst physical pain ive been in was from a menstrual cramp. it woke me from my sleep, and i was going upstairs to ask my mother for some pain killers, but it got so bad that i ended up curling in the fetal position on the landing with another set of steps to go. I tried yelling but the pain was so bad all i could do was whisper. my dad found me later when he was getting ready to leave for work. my parents carried me to my sisters bed, and my mother gave me a vicodin and a lot of heating bags. with the exhaustion and the meds I fell asleep pretty quickly, so I didn't go to the er that night

I've also had a migraine hurt so bad that I was stuttering pretty terribly and I was shaking all over. My father took me to the er, where they drugged me pretty heavily, though I did end up bleeding on the table, because the nurse didn't put the iv in properly, so blood just came pouring out onto my hand and onto the bed.

While chasing my little sister around in an old house, I pretty much impaled my foot on an old nail. Damn lucky it didn't get infected, but I couldn't walk normally for about two weeks. Happened three years ago and I still have a scar from it. :(

My brother and I rode a tricycle through a glass window when we were tiny tots.
I still have this lame scar on my knee from where a glass piece went in and the doctors had to dig it out. x.x Not that people notice because my legs are just full of bug bites and scratches.

An hour after my period starts every month I get horrible attacks where I puke, shake, almost faint, and have horrible muscle, bone and cramping pains. I usually have to take Pamprin every 4 hours, 1000mg. I've shattered my left wrist to the point where they thought it would be paralyzed into a bent position, because the bone was sticking out and all that was hold my hand to my body was my nerve endings and blood vessels etc. I've gotten stitches in my forehead from spinning around in the grocery store and I smashed into one of the shelves. I climbed up one of my cabinets once when I was 4 and when I got down the cabinet fell on me and it ended up hitting the back of my head (there was blood everywhere). I've sprained my ankle 6 times due to my knee caps being curved because I was born with my hips displayed. There's more but I don't think I need to continue, lol.

Wow Mel, thats really painful to just listen to. ):

I just got sprayed with Oleoresin Capsicum in SRF-B (that's force protection training for you non-military types) yesterday. It was the "graduation" of the class. We had to get sprayed with it and run through stations demonstrating what we learned throughout the instruction. Oleoresin Capsicum is like pepper spray on crack x10. Imagine holding your sunburnt face in front of an open oven for a couple of hours. That might describe how it feels. It varies depending on the person. The first guy that went was an African-American guy and he recovered within ten to fifteen minutes after it was washed off of his face. I, on the other hand, am a fair skinned red-headed guy and I took up until last night after a shower to recover (it still burned into the night, but I slept through it). Oh, and we did it right before lunch yesterday.

Well I had that chronic internal pain in teh center of my body. Sometimes the pain would get so violent, that I would be left in a "bent" postition. I would be unable to sit or lay down normally, nor to engage in anything except the pain. Even my mind felt like a blank and I was not experiencing anything else except the pain in the middle of my body. I would nether eat nor sleep for days until the pain started to heal. The pain then possibly would last a week or two in a less aggressive form.
II thought, this must be what it's like to be dying. Luckily this intensive pain tended to heal after a few days.
Then I would be exausted from from being unable to sleep or eat.

Luckily being on medication( birth control pills) has decreased my health problems including chronic internal pain.
I do not miss being in intensive pain or even more moderate pain at all.

Hard to say what was worse. When I was 5 I was skating on our recently paved driveway, wearing those old Playskool roller skates. My brother pushed me and I fell down forward and ended up with a long rusted nail in my knee. I had to walk with the nail still in my knee a pretty good distance through our yard into the house and find my mom to take it out. . . supposedly I had gotten a tetness shot not long before that. So that hurt a lot but I don't really remember the actual pain all that well so it's hard to gauge it.
Probably one of the most terrifying was my first migrain when I was like 11/12. I woke up one morning and I couldn't see out of my right side(didn't matter the eye it was just that side of my vision). There was so much pain in my head that I had to crawl I couldn't walk and I through-up pretty much every few feet. I didn't know what was going on and I had never heard of a migrain at the time. Couldn't keep any food down for the first half of the entire day cause I was in so much pain, I get photo-phobia with my migrains so being near and open window during the day was just so painful.
Uh those would be the top two, I think years of migrains and random cuts and scrapes and the like have built up a decent tolerance to pain. . .I've accidentally stabbed myself while working on projects and even had a sewing machine needle go through my finger and these two still rate higher to me.

When I was in 5th grade I fractured my knee cap. It hurt like a Motherf**cker! And then I was stuck wearing an immobilizer for like 6 weeks. it sucked. . .

And when I was like 5 I fell off a wall and basically scraped off the skin on my entire right knee(which was, funnily enough, the knee I broke) and it was bleeding like hell. My dad ran outside after hearing my shrieks. Now I have a really big scar on my knee.

I had an electric drill go through my tongue. Not pleasant at all...made meatloaf out of it.

Um, ow?
