What' the worst physical pain you've ever experienced?

<< < (4/6) > >>

Sir Humphrey:
I will second a kidney stone as the worst pain of my life.  I had my first while doing some archaology work on a remote Pacific island.  It took all night to pass it, without any medication or medical assistance.  Fortunatley, I figured out what it was early on and realized that I was not, as first thought, dying.

My most tramatic injury was a broken tibia while TDY in Alaska.  I was way out in the Thompson Pass when it happened.  My coworker was able to drive me to clinic in Valdez (who could do no surgery) where I waited all day for medivac flight to Anchorage.  After a bumpy flight over the Chugach Mountains, the surgeon in Anchorage put in a 8 inch plate and 15 screws, which I still carry to this day.  All this did not hurt as much as the kindey stone!

Wow, mine can't really compare but uuum. My worst pain was being blown up and getting heat flash on my right arm and face for 2 weeks, getting in a car accident that week and breaking 4 ribs, then having my ingrown toenail removed without any painkillers 5 days after the accident. I had to go to school like that while it was raining and my crutches slipped and then someone just stepped over me and I half ass used my crutches to get back up. I've been through some brutal ass kickings but I think that one is top. It actually made me tear up after I stood up.

Lord Dane:
Easy one. Infection behind my right knee that got so intense I needed to go to the ER to have it surgically sliced and drained. OUCH!!!

Kenneth:
Not sure wheter to say when my knee was dislocated 30 degrees to the side of the leg...or when it was put back without painkillers, in two pulls non the less.
Have yet to feel anything that painfull.

Sir Edward:

Yeah, knee dislocations aren't fun. Mine used to mildly dislocate occasionally when I was a teen, and I'd just pop it back into place myself and carry on. Ugh.
