Answer 1

the heart ache of my nan having a severe stroke a year ago and having to put her into nursing care. It feels like your heart is being pulled out.

Other than that, physical pain, just after my c section last xmas eve but the thoughts about the baby soon carried that pain away.

Answer 2

I use to get cluster headaches as a child and later, they are very painful I used to go to bed and groan eventually my system would go into pain management mode and I would be able to sleep. They seemed to be a nervous reaction triggered by not being able to digest food properly. With hind site I would keep a check on blood pressure, all though this may not be relevant and in my case may be just a coincident

Answer 3

Meningitis. It was so bad I lost three weeks of my life. It is a total blank. Everything in those three weeks never arrived. A couple of days before it really hit, I was at home doing a time-line for my eldest history lesson. I can't remember doing it as I was passing in and out of reality. It wasn't known, at the time what was happening. And when I read the time-line I did, I think wow!, I drew that!?. As I was recovering I had to have fluid drained off my spine, to see what strain I had caught. This left my brain free, to knock about against my skull at the slightest move I made. Even putting a fork to my mouth brought on the severest attack of pain inside my head. I suffered like this for a further three to four weeks. I have never really recovered but thank God I am alive. But just!.

Answer 4

A toothache was the worse pain that i ever felt, followed by a very arthritic knee. Next was an arthritic hip. The knee and the hip hurt so bad that I asked my girlfriend to give me a saw to cut my leg off ( it was my first time experiencing arthritis pain ). But the toothache was the worst because I could lie still with the arthritis. The toothache kept on and on until I got it pulled.

Answer 5

Back in the mid eighties, I had an inward rotating hip. To solve the problem, I had an external rotational femoral osteotomy. This involved cutting through the thigh bone, rotating the leg outwards and plating it back together again. All the muscles had to be re-aligned as well. So when i came around, I had a twelve inch scar, broken bone and realigned muscles - very painful.

Answer 6

When I was knocked off my scooter by a car....4 broken ribs...severe bruising, ( the purple kind)...had to sleep downstairs ,sat in an armchair for 4 weeks!!...and then there is the constant fear of coughing.. or even worse is sneezing. The pain from sneezing when you have four broken ribs is indescribable. But I still ride a scooter every day.

Answer 7

Personally I went through labour for the second time six months ago, it was very very bad!
It was a million times worse then the first, I haven't experienced anything worse since and I really hope I don't because I couldn't walk for nearly a week after it.

Answer 8

That's a toss up. I've had two episodes that sent me crashing to the floor in pain.

I blew a disk in my neck. Burning, unremitting pain down my left arm, and chest. I thought I had a heart attack

Then there was the kidney stone, which also took the legs right out from under me.

Answer 9

Cramp. In my neck! Ouch!

It happened after me and a friend spent about three quarters of an hour keeping a football up between us. Most of the touches were heading the ball back to each other. It was something we used to do a lot, seeing how many touches of the ball we could make before it hit the ground. We managed 1,157 before we "lost it"

And yes, it was me that screwed up!

Answer 10

the all time record for me was this last summer. i got sun poisoning, and let me tell you.....it hurts enough to actually make you consider letting someone knock you out. you know that awful constant "itch" of a healing sunburn that drives you nuts? its like that, only the itch is painfully bad. nothing will relieve it. the only thing that might help is putting bags of ice and cold wash cloths on the burn and changing them whenever the pain returns. never go through the first few days of the healing process alone, you will need someone there. the pain is worse that than anything I've ever felt. worse than when i broke my wrist, worse than getting one of my cartilage piercings ripped out, worse than dislocating my shoulder. it sucks!!
