What was the most physically painful experience of your life?

[retromike22]

I have to say the removal of my appendix at 19.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I was stung by a wasp on my lip when I was 8 or 9.

[RogueBeaver]

Got a splinter in my eye when I was 8 or 9.

[rejectamenta]

Chicken pox at 18. Painful isn't the right word, but the week+ long discomfort experienced was nearly delirium inducing at parts.

[Napoleon]

I go to unbelievable efforts to avoid even the slightest physical pain (despite a high pain tolerance threshold). I accidentally cut myself a few years ago, needing stitches. That hurt.

I heard kidney stones are super painful. Grumps?

[Franzl]

Coughing when I had pneumonia, I'd say.

That was pretty awful...but I feel fortunate that I haven't experienced worse.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Breaking both forearms at the same time was fairly painful.

[dead0man]

Hepatitis when I was 10 sucked mighty ass.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

The cornea scratch a few years back is probably the single worst for me. Either that or the times I get my tube replaced.

[Oakvale]

11 years old, climbing tree, slip, fall, branch, balls, death.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Pulled something in my neck horribly when I was 9.

[free my dawg]

I haven't had much painful experiences in my life. The worst was spraining my wrist and my elbow, though.

[Consciously Unconscious]

Probably stomach ulcers.

[Torie]

Well, since you asked, when a urologist put a staple gun in my ass to take biopsy samples of my prostate.  He took a dozen, and by the 12th staple gun hit, the pain was so great that I was literally crying, and grabbed a cloth to clench my teeth on. I told the doc that rather than having that done ever again, I would rather assume room temperature from prostate cancer. It was that bad.

You punks have a long hard road ahead of you.

Oh sh**t that sounds absolutely awful. Thats a "just in case" type of procedure?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Food poisoning on Christmas. Not true shooting pain so much as constant vomiting and crying for a solid 12 hours.

Your family did the cooking?

[H. Ross Peron]

Probably breaking my arm when I was 3

[Napoleon]

When I was like five years old my sister was pushing me on a swing at the park and I flew off and hit my forehead on the jungle gym slide thing. Don't remember much of that though.

[Potatoe]

Getting shot in the ass and leg at Airsoft, a few weeks ago.

Your family did the cooking?

Yes. I think it came from some cornmeal thing.

[J-Mann]

I've got a pretty high pain tolerance, but then again, I don't think I've ever been through anything particularly painful.

The worst that I can remember was probably last summer. We never really found out what was wrong, but I had diarrhea for a month. After a week, I went to urgent care (since my regular doctor had "just upgraded our computer system" and couldn't find record of me, meaning I'd have to wait a month to be seen). They said a bland diet and some Immodium would clear me right up, in typical urgent-care fashion.

The next day, I had cramps so terrible that I had to leave work and go to the ER. A day-long morphine drip helped

Yes, everything was negative. The odds were low that cancer was present. The thing is, is if you have a high testosterone count (and mine is very high - by design), once you get prostate cancer, it will grow more rapidly. So matters need to be monitored. Speaking of which ... see ya.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The deep infection I had on a cracked tooth. Not the one I had pulled yesterday but the one I had a root canal on last year.

[afleitch]

I've impaled my foot on nails twice. The impaling isn't so bad; twisting the thing back out was.
