Wow all the pain you mention is worthy of a vote. For me, so far, believe it or not, it is the pain associated with endometrioses that has been the worst. It is the type of pain that comes in intenses waves. I've actually screamed when in the midst of it (it is also the type of pain that Male Doctors undermedicate since they have NO idea how painful it can be.)

Tigersmom,

I can not imagine the type of pain that would be, yet I am sure it is much easier to convey (relate) to a Female Physician than a Male Physician.

Respectfully,

Snickers

This is interesting!

Renal colic (kidney stone passing) is commonly quoted as being the worst mankind has ever had to suffer. Opioids can only reduce this pain by 3 or 4 points on the scale as it is so intense.

Certain types of abdominal pain, even simple trapped wind, can be pretty bad. My intestinal adhesions were worse than the kidney stones in some ways. The opioids, however, are quite effective with this type of dull pain from internal organs.

Gout is like putting your big toe joint on a golf tee and letting John Daly loose on it with his biggest driver, every heartbeat. The opioids are not great at dealing with this unless very high doses are taken.

Hooray - File Manager is on this forum!

I've had back pain for years, have had several sugeries including a fusion. I was also on bedrest for the remaining months of my pregnancy...but the worst pain I can remember is when I scratched my corneas while taking out my contacts.
It didn't hurt at first, but within the hour I was begging my husband to take me to the ER. That's my vote \:\)

I agree with you DanielWA. I was trying on a pair of sunglasses one day and the price tag was a hard square piece of plastic on one of the ear pieces. I jammed the glasses on and shoved that piece of plastic right into my eye. There was a doctor in my building at work and I immediately went to him. They put some drops in it and looked at it in the dark under some kind of light and could see the tear. The drops numbed it for a couple of hours and once it wore off I felt like someone was shoving an ice pick into my eyeball over and over!

My first baby was a natural childbirth. That was pretty rough, but when I had a kidney stone it was just about as painful. It started to pass and I thought I was going to pass out. The Dr. had rxed Percocet and it didn't help at all. Luckily it only lasted about 30 minutes. I had surgery the next day. The stone was shaped like a bar-bell. I hope I never get another one. Khilee

A lot of people think that the stone hurts when it enters the outside world, but it is in fact when it travels down the ureter, sending it into spasms.

Unfortunately one of my stones got stuck just before the bladder, causing the fluid behind it to back up. That's when they shove a metal rod into your kidney, no anaesthetic, and prod and poke for half an hour until they find the ureter, so they can pass a plastic tube through it. Plain torture, no other words.

They prepared me well for it, sitting me in a side-room where they had frame on the wall with all these long metal rods lined up, waiting for you.

I apologize in advance, yet when I just read what you wrote I just started

I'm

It just sounded so funny. That is, it started to Pass and I thought I was going to PassOut before it Passed!

Pain is NOT funny, NOT at all!

Pain should Never be ignored. It is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. The human body is an amazing thing. There are so many things the body does that we are not necessarily aware of, to protect itself from harm.

I just had my last 16 teeth extracted, in addition to some surgery on those areas. It has been 7 days and I am still experiencing Major Pain.

It is so interesting to hear of others, most horrific pain that they have encountered.

Once again, Khilee, I apologize for the humor I saw in your writing. Yet, I certainly empathize with the worst Pain you have ever experienced.

Most Respectfully,

Snickers

Nephro,

That is an Great Photo. Did they take that when they found the abdominal adhesions?

I can't imagine the pain it must have caused. I hope you never have to go through it again.

Thank Goodness, I have never passed a stone, yet I hear it is one of the worst that a person could ever experience.

Have a Pain Free Week,

Snickers

I didn't vote because there was not a listing for "blunt force trauma to the groin". That would be a male issue. That ranks up there for me. Short term, high impact. Yikes.

DanielWA & Pumpernickel,

Eye injuries must be awful! Your experiences sound terrible.

From my knowledge, anatomically speaking, the eyes do not have a lot of pain receptors (pain nerves). *(Please correct that statement if I am wrong).

So, to experience any type of Eye Pain, is to experience a major traumatic experience. And from your stories (experiences), they were Traumatic experiences. I certainly would not want to go through an Eye Injury.

How much time did it take before your eyes healed and did you lose any sight as a result? It would be a 'Life Changing Event' to lose one's sight.

Best Regards,

Snickers

That's not my personal photo; in fact I had several of those strictures which they had to cut out. The blood supply to the small intestine had been cut off, so I only had a few hours left.

Unfortunately, odds are that it will happen again, since it's happened 3 times already and the more they operate the more adhesions form. I didn't half lose some weight!

Hi snickers, no need to apologize. It does sound funny. I should have put in there, I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. This would be a boring place if we couldn't laugh at each other a little. Sorry about your dental pain. I've had some painful dental work done, so I feel for you. Take care, Khilee

toolboy,

As more people post the 'Worst Type of Pain they have ever Experienced', I realize I didn't provide some options on the POLL.

The next POLL, I'll try to be more through & specific.

Yet, you could vote with an answer of 'Other Pain', and then put a message on the thread describing the 'Worst Type of Pain you have ever Experienced'.

Needless to say, I think all males have experienced the type of pain you mentioned. Yet, there must have been some other type of Pain that has been Worse than that, throughout your life? (Maybe)

Respectfully,

Snickers

By screaming blue murder! They tried to sedate me with fentanyl but it didn't work. I had previously had a colonoscopy with fentanyl and it didn't work then either. I told them this, but it made no difference. I would rather have had 100mg IV pethidine, which always works, but they just won't change procedure.

Kidney stones, in my opinion, have got to be the worst kind of pain. I literally begged a doctor to kill me and put me out of my misery. He wanted to play a little game called "what if it isn't a stone but appendicitis" when I knew [censored] well what it was. My then wife screaming at the doctor while he poked and proded, me turning green, white, rolling on the floor. Finally, in goes the shot and what a difference. A couple days later, I caught the buggar while peeing in the strainers they give you.

I've suffered through several of them. My last one, they did lithotripsy while I was knocked out. I awoke with a garden hose up my.... doc wanted to make sure the scar tissue healed properly. Well, the garden hose clogged from all this blood and stuff passing from the lithotripsy...so there I am, a catheter in me that is clogged and I have to pee but I can't. A couple of calls to the doc and they say it is normal, this and that,..finally I am sitting on a toilet straining to hold it cuz I gotta go..the bladder says go..I get backflow to the kidneys YOWCH and then the catheter bag starts filling up fast.

Needless to say I went straight to the ER and said "get this thing out of me now"!!!

Those were two of my worst pains, not counting my motorcycle accident.

That is a great photo. I have a feeling that adhesions are a major contributor to my pain but I can't find a doctor who is even willing to go in that direction. I have had three c-sections plus a hysterectomy and every time after the first c-sections the doctors were amazed at the amount of scar tissue.

Khilee,

I heard that when a woman has a baby (gives birth to an infant), the Pelvic Girdle (the bone from your waist to your hips) separates a little bit.

Therefore, the hip size changes for the female, because the Pelvic Girdle separates a little bit. Is that correct?

If so, I'm sure that is part of the Pain of Labor!

There is an enzyme called serrapeptase which is supposed to 'eat away' any adhesive tissue in the body. It is available from health food suppliers; a brand name is SerraZyme. I got some then forgot about them and now they are out of date.

Read the little window on this site:

http://www.goodhealthnaturally.com/pd_serrazyme.cfm

or just Google serrapeptase.
