Worst pain of your life...uncensored.

Thanks for sharing guys...my assistant and I have been talking about achilles issues lately...seems like it'd be incredibly painful to me! Remember the scene in Pet Sematary when the clown slices the guys achilles tendon? Yowza!!!!!!

Nice Jantz...I've avoided that one so far. Barry...I cursed up a melange of F bombs when they were probing my penis...dreadfully awful it was....never want to go through that again!

I'll pass on the gout too!

Nothing like those, but a couple times that were brief but difficult.

Dentist assistant putting the spike/scraper/ whatever you call it right into the big cavity I'd just said to not put the spike in. Bent the tool, and took it out myself. She's lucky she has quick hands. And by the way pain shouldn't come with smells and colors, but apparently it can.

Getting hit directly in the ear canal with a paintball. Big surprise, as I thought I was out of range. The paintballs were coming in slow and basically rolling at my feet. I turned to say something to the guy who ran the field and wham! The person who hit me said she'd been holding the co2 cartridge in her underarm and that was the first shot with the warmed gas. Hard to recall how much it hurt, but I do recall instant pain and then being on my knees having been standing.
The guy who ran the field was ex special forces and was really good. Grabbed my head and turned it to my good ear and said "Hurts like hell doesn't it? Go see my wife at the tent and she'll get that all cleared out. Do you need help walking? " A good cleaning and water to flush the paint out plus a free beer and I was fine. A bit muddled on the right for a couple days about as much as after a Metallica show. Maybe a bit of loss on that side, but not much.

When I was 15 I loved skateboarding. One day I was working on some tricks on my flat rail. I slid out on a grind and when I fell, I tried to put my left arm down to break my fall. All my weight went onto my arm and my elbow ended up bending back the wrong way. I broke every bone in my elbow and it killed. Luckily through some kind of magic the bone set itself after it broke and all they had to do was put a cast on. Doctor said that was probably the only time something like that would ever happen and usually I'd need surgery.

Other worst pain was when I was about 12 and playing manhunt. I was running on some wet grass and slipped trying to jump over a guard rail. My knee went right into the rail and I split it open. Had to get 13 stitches in 3 different layers and ripped the tendon.

I've had stitches and broken bones. I have to say stitches was 10 times worse.

Appendicitis. I still have flashbacks.

I've had both. For me, gout was the worst, although appendicits is pretty bad too.

I had 4 appendicitis attacks within about a 1 year time frame. After the 4th one, I figured it was time to come out. The doctor tried to remove it with three small incisions, but it was too inflamed and had too much scar tissue around it (from the previous 3 attacks), so they had to make a huge 6� incision to pull it out.

I vote this as the best story of the thread. I won't try to one-up you with gum surgery details.

My incision is about 3 inches, and I thought that was bad

I remember that I ate a ton of funnel cake at a carnival earlier in the day before my attack. That was the first thing to come up when I started getting sick. No more funnel cake since

I had a lot of jobs in Alaska, I started out as a cannery worker on the "slime line" (don't ask), then went to bait sales/longshoreman, was a deckhand on a few boats, and finally as a diver for shipyards and pier construction companies. The worst pain of my life was without question, January 2003.

I was working on a crab boat during Opilio season. This was one of the last seasons of the Alaska crab "derby" fishery, which were only days, at most two weeks windows to catch what you can. Now, as shown on Deadliest Catch the boats have IFQ's, and months to drop pots in the water. It's much safer.

On the second day of Opi season I was hit by a swinging crab pot, imagine a Volkswagen being thrown at your chest. I later found out I had broken my collarbone, cracked a rib, but the worst and most obvious pain was a bruised coccyx when I was knocked on my a$$ to the deck.

We're on Bristol Bay, Alaska, at best, two days back to port or even a few lost hours to medevac me during the derby cost everyone money. Tough it out. In a calm January on the Bay waves average 8-12 feet. Ever ride a horse with a bruised tailbone for 24 hours let alone 10-14 days? Standing was uncomfortable, sitting was not an option, and laying down hurt everywhere.

It was the longest two weeks of my life, but we killed that season. The owner gave me a double share, and wrote a glowing letter of recommendation that got me into diving school. Not likely to ever forget that.
