I was born with sickle cell disease. The pain is actual torture. During a flare-up, *it feels like being stabbed again, and again, and again by dozens of flaming swords. All day. All night. Non-stop. For AT LEAST a week straight.* For the amount of pain that sickle cell causes, it really doesn't get the attention and awareness it deserves 😔😟😢
Most recently: Ulcerative Colitis. The pain is constant, and it oscillates from 7 to 9 and back again. Remission is the absolute best.
I relate 😔 I have crohns disease, and I feel your pain
I'd give birth a thousand times over if I never had to experience stomach spasms I get. I have crohn's and there have been plenty of times I've been on the floor screaming in agony. Never knowing if it's a spasm or something serious and not having the money for an ambulance and ER visit just to be told it's a spasm which there is nothing that can be done.
@@hayleybutler3338 Thas a lot of babuses. :I
@@haleynae9597 I have Crohn’s too and my medicine suddenly stopped working in March and it was active for 2 months. Lost 40 pounds. 10/10 would not recommend. Good now though
I wouldn't wish tooth pain on anyone.
Dude I had an infected tooth one time and had to get a root canal. I never ever would wish that pain on anyone. It was so excruciating that if I fell asleep (since it was my front tooth) I would touch it and immediately wake up. Most painful shit ever. I’d rather have someone shoot me.
Just the wait for painkillers after pulling a wisdom tooth was unbearable. The worst part about it was the pain slowly getting worse as the novocaine wore off while I sat there looking/feeling like a horse kicked me in the face.
I've had severe tooth pain, a tooth that a root canal couldn't save and an abscess that put me in the ER. I didn't think there was a pain that could be worse, even after an excruciating ordeal when I tore every ligament in my knee and required ACL replacement surgery ... that is until I experienced herniated L4/L5. Desperate I went to the urgent care clinic and when I pulled into the parking lot, I got out of my car onto my hands and knees in the parking lot just bracing myself to make the walk to the front door.
Same that's the worst I've experienced
I lost twins, a boy and a girl. They lived for a few hours and I got to hold them, and say goodbye. The 26th of this month they would've been 36. There's not a day that goes by that my babies don't cross my mind. Truly the most pain that I have ever experienced. My heart, my body and my soul. I think for awhile my mind.
So sorry for your loss sending you hugs ❤
A truly horrific toothache is the worst. And that's coming from someone who has broken bones 13 different times over my life and have what looks like scaffolding holding my left arm together
So I should probably get this wisdom tooth pulled that has a cavity on it?
@@johnnywaffles2482 yes if it's sensitive to certain foods/drinks go immediately for real. i kept a deep cavity and couldn't sleep laying down for 5 days, deadass had to sleep on the floor against my bathtub so my head would stay up lmao
@@lydluvv.45 it's not sensitive right now but there is a cavity on it
@@johnnywaffles2482 Wisdom teeth are not all that useful and can cause problems just existing sometimes. Odds are your dentist will tell you you're better off pulling it. Maybe all of them just to get it out of the way.
@@autobotrock4789 yeah, I've had mine for years. They never caused any problems until recently with the cavity. I probably should have gotten them removed as a kid
It initially didn't hurt when my grandpa died when I was 5, but now it hurts as a teenager remembering the few memories I have with him, and I cry occasionally about it
Tooth/jaw pain. Because of how the nerves are, the pain traveled into the inside of my ear. I took a worrying about of otc painkillers before seeing a dentist.
This is pain that'll have you begging for death as there's very little you can do to alleviate it.
When I got a second degree burn. You feel everything, since the nerves are just partially dead. And when they rubbed by skin off. Oh my gosh I nearly passed out I had it over 40 percent of my body. My entire back and the top half of both arms and shoulders
second degree burns are the absolute worst. like you said, the nerves aren’t entirely dead yet. i was cooking once, and the pan was far too light, so when i picked it up, i underestimated how hard i was pulling on it, and boom, hot grease all over my hands. holy god, that hurt.
@@floo1465 Yeesh... imagine the final 3rd degree burn... you're lucky you never got one..
@@vibrantgleam there’s actually (usually) no to little pain with 3rd degree burns. that’s because they totally destroy nerves, unlike third degree burns, which leave them alive.
@@floo1465 OWOWOWOWOW
When your 8 years old and your appendix ruptures. It feels like someone is trying to pull out your intestinal tract using telekinesis.
Edit: Also... Its your birthday.... And youre in LA for Disneyland.
First thing already bad the second one already makes it horrible.
Same thing happened to me at the same age, only I was camping on a tiny island where their only hospital had no surgeon. They had to get a retired one who lived nearby to cut it out before it ruptured
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 ooof! Thats scary!
Yeah, garden grove hospital coulda caught it... But they just told me to sleep it off.
We won the settlement.
Ow my friend
I got my finger stuck in a fire door as a kid and it really hurt, it’s probably not as painful as some accidents though and thankfully I’ve never been seriously injured.
I got my finger SMASHEEEEDDD in my moms car the worst thing was that my mom slammed the hell out of the door😂😂
Thx god I still have little jimmy here
@@big_b00bies_levi58 my mom was pissed because I didn't wanna give her a hug or some shit when I was like 4 when my dad was dropping her off for work. She slammed the door (she's bipolar, I am too, I get it from her), and my hand got caught in it. I obviously don't remember anything, I've just got the story from my dad. My hand still twitches. That could probably also be in part from my ADHD though LOL
I heard about someone getting their finger slammed in a door. They thought they had a bit of paint stuck under their skin on the finger and spent days trying to remove this paint chip... turns out they fractured a bone in the finger and the paint chip was the bone sticking out
@@teelesynclair5902 ._.
Emotional: My grandad dying followed by my abusive dad (who I hadn't had contact with for about 4 years at this point- but I still kept in contact with his parents) basically saying that I could go to the funeral with him or not at all. He was saying that the undertakers would remove my mum from the church if she showed up. My mum asked if my other grandad (her dad) could take me instead, to which he said he also wasn't allowed there. He made it out to be my grandad's dying wish that my mum wasn't there, despite him having said that it was ok the last time we saw him. We went up to the church where they were having the ceremony but didn't enter. We watched from the outside as the coffin was brought in and then had lunch in the town and walked to the top of the hill near the town, which looks out over the sea. I later found out that my Grandma had found out about what was happening too, and that further destroyed her after his death. Then having to watch her slowly losing her own will to live, and doing things that weren't normal for her, and seeming less with it afterwards. The only reason that me and my mum didn't walk in regardless was so as to not cause a scene and hurt my Grandma even more.
Physical: Period pains. Before starting the pill (and trying other medications too), once a month I'd wake up between 4:00 and 5:30 in excruciating pain, I'd scream for my mum to get me a hot water bottle (I now have a kettle in my room, as she didn't appreciate being woken up) and she'd bring it 5-10 mins later with some ibuprofen as I curled into a fetal position, screaming. I'd then take the tablets and often end up burning myself from holding the hot water bottle on me for too long, but it was less painful than the cramps. I'd then go into a cold sweat, feel sick, crawl to the bathroom (walking wasn't an option), vomit up the pain killers I'd just taken, continue to dry heave as there's nothing left in my stomach to bring up, I'd then be covered in goosebumps and ask my mum to bring me clean underwear/pajama bottoms. I also tended to get a cough/cold simultaneously, as my immune system was (it seems) weakened shortly before and during my period. A further half an hour of screaming later, I'd just about fall back to sleep, more out of tiredness than feeling relaxed. Once this was on Christmas eve, and my mum had gone to my step-dad's grave to lay some flowers. She'd walked there in the morning whilst I was still in bed. I got up about an hour later, just before she arrived at the grave. I came downstairs, had breakfast, realised there was no way I'd be able to get back upstairs (2 flights) and I laid on the sofa. I'd left my phone in my room, because I don't typically need it to eat breakfast and I saw that my mum had gone out. Thankfully we had a house phone which I could reach from the sofa. I called her, and she had to get a taxi home because I was unable to care for myself in that moment.
your abusive dad? basically my sperm donor as well. manipulative, nasty, really really ignorant and stupid clearly just looks like a fumbling idiot to everyone around him bc he cant keep a straight story to save his life. hurts everyone around him just for the eff of it, doesnt give a single shit about anyone but himself(and money). yeah, i'll leave you with the same remark someone else on here gave me. He's not your dad if hes caused you that much pain, hes not a dad at all. hes just a sperm donor. my own advice? he shouldnt get to live in your head for free either. good luck, you are loved.
Sprinkles 91 I forgot to put “dad” in quotation marks here. I avoid saying sperm donor or else people take it too literally and think there was trouble for me to be conceived. I had a step dad for a while, however he died when I was 13. Having the first person you lose be a parent is so hard (even though tbh it wouldn’t have surprised me if he had turned out to be serial killer). Currently my mum is in a relationship with a man who seems to actually treat me like a daughter. I’d recommend looking into narcissistic personality disorder, as it seems like your sperm donor may have had that. Reading the symptoms for me is more a description of him than symptoms of a mental disorder.
@@17andtravelling yeah, if it where a mental disorder id maybe feel bad for him, he acts like this intentionally without any apology and sees nothing wrong w the way he behaves. i cut them out years ago...been so much easier without them.
I had a friend that had to start taking prescription painkillers before her period started, and if she was irregular enough to start them too late in (If she felt pain it was too late) then she would just curl up in a ball and throw up for 7 days. Her mom took her to the doctor at 14 about it and he told both of them the only thing that was going to help was for her to get pregnant and have a baby. (there are some that this happens, we both later worked with a lady that said she had that and after her first kid her periods were nothing...) It would be so bad she would throw up her painkillers, the very thing that was supposed to help her. A shot would help her get back on top it, but. Missing a dose by 30 min would reduce her once more to the vomiting h*ll.
i don't know what i was expecting but *goddamn my body hurts now*
You doing okay over there?
If you have social anxiety, go near your boss, if it's real pain, you'll have to ask him.
Meningitis. There’s no where to go to get away from the excruciating pain, no position where I could be comfortable. Tbh, losing consciousness was a blessing.
Gave birth without painkillers to a 10lb 14oz baby and that was a walk in the park compared to the meningitis.
10 lbs. 14 oz. All natural??!!! RESPECT!
Physically: nail in foot while running like a dog at age 6-7....
Emotionally and Mentally: watching my aunt die in front of me today from an unnatural skin cancer that ate away half her face, made her skin and bone, and caused her so much pain...

Same….age 9 jumped off the top of a horse corral onto a pile of ancient lumber and stuck the landing, or the landing stuck me with an old rusty nail through the bottom of my foot and very nearly out the top (less than a millimeter) . Left foot right side just below the ball of the foot (padded portion of the sole between the toes and the arch). After prying my foot free from the nail I thought I’d play some more and tried but my foot was having none of it. Made it back to my house hopping on one foot and nobody was home to help me (the usual for most of my childhood). Agonizingly removed shoe and bloody sock (which the nail had pushed into the wound as it punctured my foot) cleaned puncture and went to sleep for like 3 days. Awoke and like you had to crawl around on all fours because it hurt to hop. When asked why I was crawling around I explained what happened and nobody believed me because there was almost no mark where the nail went in. Older brother teased me for wanting attention and mother didn’t believe me so no trip to the clinic and no tetanus shot. There are many more pain filled incidents like my gall bladder literally dying and becoming gangrenous and almost taking my liver with it (if something hurts don’t ignore it for a year or three ffs)! Being run over by an old pickup truck just a few days after having my appendices removed (still had stitches from the surgery) tried to jump into the back of the moving truck and instead hit the tailgate (which was down) with my chest and tried to hang on for dear life but gravity……and in slow motion the truck backed right over my stomach as my friends watched and screamed in horror. Good times on the ranch….I was more worried about getting in trouble for being run over than anything else. Theres more, and I could write a book, but yawn. Tldr pain hurts. Don’t get hurt cause its painful.
My heart goes to you and your family today. I lost my Dad this year. There's never enough time to prepare yourself for the pain that comes from saying goodbye. Stay strong. I'm sure she felt your love.
Damn. I'm sorry for your loss
Positioning my very, very broken leg for x-rays. I saw red when I had to move. It's the only time in my grown up life that I've screamed in pain. I could feel the ends of my snapped bones scraping on each other and poking into the tissues around them. You know that sound, when you rub your knuckles (closed fists) quickly past each other? Imagine that sound, turned up to 13, reverberating through your shattered calcium sticks.
Both of my knees are completely destroyed from this event and an earlier injury to the other ankle that effects how I walk. I am going on 17 and have the knee pains of an elderly man.
This single event beats the time a nail went through my foot, the time a dog bit through my hand, the busted ribs and road rash that resulted in a scar across my right side, and the time I broke a toe in such a way that it pushed back into my foot.
For reference: my foot on the broken leg was free to move in about 90° in either direction from forward. The tissues in that leg are so full of scaring that I have very little mobility in that ankle. The other foot (my left foot) is perpetually pointed 45° to the left.
This combination means I walk with a limp, and can't use my knees correctly to walk. I live in constant knee and back pain.
Mental and/or physical. In my case both. Loosing many people I loved so much and some were intensional. having very extreme anxiety and depression, its so bad I can’t leave the house and throw up at least 3 or 4 times a week. almost had a house fire, almost drowned, almost kidnapped, father giving me a skull fracture etc. I’m sure there are people have way a way worse time than me. Though we live in a horrible world. There is hope. Stay close to the ones you love. Spend as much time with them as you can, enjoy everything you can. I would never wish this on anyone.
Being struck by an anchor. That hurt for a couple weeks.
Was it Ellen Degeneres?
My allergic reaction to nuts causes my stomach to feel like it’s being turned inside out AND my throat feels like I drowned in cheese graters/ knives/ hot coals/ Tasmanian devils. It lasts for about 45-30 minutes but it feels like hours. Then I have to run to the bathroom to rid myself of the vile nut paste from both ends for 15 minutes and I still don’t feel better. All that for taking ONE BITE of something that has nuts in it. Happened 3 times.
Worst emotional pain: being told my 13-year-old brother had died. I was 6.
Physical pain: Tie. Gallstones & gallstone 'attacks' left untreated for months because I had to work/no insurance. When I finally went to the ER, found out I had gallstone pancreatitis & HELP syndrome, which has a 20% mortality rate.
Arthritis in hips. No cartilage left, bone-on-bone. Pain meds took the edge off. Finally had hip replacement surgeries 2 years apart. Life is good now.
I agree with you about the gallstones
@Erin Bliss It's really miserable. I worked up until the pain was so bad I couldn't take it. Thank God for the medical advances and the wonderful surgeons who can fix the problem. Hang in there, and I hope your surgery goes well when it happens.
@Erin Bliss Have you seen an orthopedic surgeon yet?
@Erin Bliss Oops, yeah, my bad. Chalk that up to a "Senior Moment".
rip to ur brother
Had an infected tooth took out the other tooth and the wisdom had to come out as well. Having it removed was the greatest Xmas gift ever.

Its because if a being has layers (Ogres, Onions) it cannot interact with another being with layers
I remember one time as a kid I was flossed and the floss got so stuck that my dad had to help and half of my tooth came out. I still dread flossing and am very cautious when doing so
My dentist and orthodontist were very surprised when I told them and one of them said they never heard that happen before
Last year I was awoken at 1:00 am to the worst pain in my side ever. So I went to a&e and they told me I had a kidney stone and I was going to have to pass it. I can describe the process in three words. Blood,pain and tears. Never again!
Kneed in the nuts at a range of like 2 inches, I thought I was dying. School nurse told me to "walk it off"
Sue the nurse
One; tooth extraction with a horrible infection hurt for three days.
Two: organ failure, kidneys.
Three: labor
Four: breaking my fibula and tibia
Five: being hit by a car while jogging car going 50 mph
Six: really bad food poisonings
Can you stop getting hurt, please?!
From around the end of middle school till the middle of high school , I would get testicular torsions. They started off not that bad, but they started lasting longer and were more painful. The second to last time it happened, I was at school and I went to the nurse, and they called my mom to take me to the doctor. By the time I got to the doctor, the torsion had gone away but the doctor said next time it happens go to the hospital. IM SO GLAD SHE SAID THAT.
Almost a year later, it happened again. And it was a million times worse than any other time it had ever happened. It was about 10pm so I waddled with widespread legs to my parents room and woke them up. My mom made my dad drive me to the hospital, my dad was skeptical at first and just told the hospital “oh it’s happened before no big deal” but when I told them what I felt, they IMMEDIATELY said to take me to the operating room, and then that’s when my dad realized the seriousness of the situation.
One overnight surgery and a few missed days of school and several weeks of discomfort later, everything is totally fine.
TLDR: Ow my balls.
i got testicular torsion and paced around the nurses office for like 25 minutes waiting for my mom to pick me up it was the worst
@@jackhobbs720 sorry that happened, I know the pain! Hopefully you’re all better now.
@@jayamarillo628 u too
Second worst pain is when going to the field from the bathroom during band practice. Afterwards I tried to walk quickly down into the field pit. Ended up tripping over a stone and tumbled getting road rash on my arms and my stomach. The two baritone sax players picked me up and I was chewed out because the principal tells all freshman on their first day to not run down the hill. The Boosters bandaged me up to the best of what they could do with the first aid kit.
First would be a rebound migraine. Imagine that someone tightened a strap around your head and torqued the ratchet to 100 foot pounds. Take into an account that 100ft pounds is the torque specification for a car tire's lug nuts. Ouch!
for me physically got to be between dislocating my jaw, dislocating my kneecap or breaking my heel bone, but who knows what the future holds for me, the only fracture that's made me feel physically sick has to be the last time I broke my nose, however it didn't hurt much as it was the 5th time I'd broken my nose, emotionally when my nan passed away.
I dislocated my knee too. The pain was so sharp and strong that all I felt was relief when it was popped back in.
It's strange how so many people report pain with pulmonary embolisms. I've never felt any kind of pain...but maybe that's because all of mine were a massive number of "microembolisms", tiny clots dotted all over my lungs. I would say the most uncomfortable sensation I've ever felt was a part of it, though. The sensation of being unable to catch my breath. But never pain. The burning pain for the 24 hours after my bariatric surgery was probably the worst I've ever felt, at least to my recent memory. They keep encouraging you to drink, every fifteen minutes around the clock, but you can't even bear the thought of trying to force down anything.
Tooth infection this year in May. I've had 2 root canals before this one, those never felt this bad. My eye was starting to swell shut so I called my dentist and he sent a prescription for antibiotics to my pharmacy and referred me to an endodontist.
Antibiotics took care of the infection, endodontist gave me a root canal.
Aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. Felt like someone had a screw jack inside my skull and was trying to push my head apart. Sat on the bed literally screaming in pain. Doctors cut a hole in my skull, wrapped the aneurysm in a coil of platinum wire and stapled the patch back into my skull.
Close second, during kidney dialysis, something went wrong and I had maybe half an hour of agonising cramp in every single muscle in my body. Like Every. Single. Muscle.
I'm sorry for you.
My mother had a brain aneurysm about seven years ago and they did a coiling in her brain too. She said she saw death at the door. But she basically wouldn't let him in. She only has a little bit of memory issues so she's like 98% better.
Oh man...
@Christopher Dean: Glad the aneurysm treatment was successful for you, sounds like you went through hell with that. Hope your dialysis goes well from here on out.
@@merrim3794 Dialysis is thankfully a thing of the past. Transplant in 2013 has been, so far at least, an unqualified success, apart from the pneumonia I got the year after due to the immuno-suppression drugs. 58 years old next month, and walked six and a half miles a few days ago. Thanks for the good wishes.
10:50 I had one. And I'll never forget that pain. It was to the point that I wasn't even sleeping, just trying to find a comfortable way to rest my body. I couldn't sit, I couldn't stand, I couldn't lay down. All they gave me were antibiotics and painkillers that didn't work. I ended up needing a minor in-office surgery which has put me off doctors for a long while. It was so deep it had reached my tailbone. They tried to numb me but it didn't work. She poked my tailbone with her finger. I almost threw up from the pain. Had to pack it twice a day for a whole month. Now left with a lump on my bum that I have to get removed because of the small chance of it becoming cancerous...
No more gaming marathons for me.
I fell right on my tailbone and the pain was x100. I couldn’t sit upright or bend over without feeling pain, laying down on my side only helped
Abscessed tooth. Felt like someone driving a 3ft long ice pick into my tooth through the jaw and into my chest.
The relief when it was removed is indescribable.
I've had a lot of painful things happen to me so I have no clue. I do kickboxing classes and I remember like 2 years ago when we were sparring somebody accidentally kicked me into the wall. Very painful
My brother had salmonella blood poisoning in kindergarten and that was the worst pain I ever felt because when your 10 and you think your going to lose your 5yo brother you cry yourself to sleep every night
When i woke up after my appendectomy. I was groggy and the nurse firmly told me not to move, I realise i'm awake and bolt up to ask if everything went okay when the pain hit me from moving. It felt like i had been stabbed with a knife strapped to the front of a truck.
Mine is mental pain
I was in 7th grade at the time and it was night. I was on the floor in the kitchen crying telling my parents I wanted to die. It hurt so much. Now a days it just feels like a void.
I have chronic migraines. Many I can deal with at home but some have broken through my own pain threshold ending with a ER trip. Throwing up, waking up crying from intense the pain was/feeling like there was no end in sight, bed bound,.etc. I have a few that stick out it my mind...
Same here...
Holding back my tears after being yelled at for crying after breaking my arm in school.
Hands down the worst for me was a bruised rib as a result of being assaulted. The guy did a few knee drops directly on my diaphragm, instant damage and literally couldn't breathe for a minute. Out of all the things I've experienced I give it a solid 10 on the pain scale- normally when I'm in pain I'd either suck it up or cry but this time I would be screaming bloody murder every 5 minutes because of the spasms. Had to take a week off from work because I couldn't stand for long, and when I went to the ER they didn't give a fuck just made me wait 4 hours just to get extra strength TYLENOL! it took at least 6 months for the pain to go away
One that I’ve not seen it mentioned is sickle cell crisis. Pain levels can very from mild, moderate to severe and can last for any length of time. It’s heartbreaking seeing people fold in half from pain unable to even stand or speak . :(
Had severe form of mono. The throat closed up and mucus blocked it the rest of the way. I had to be rushed to the hospital and put on oxygen. The mucus turned to thousands of sharp objects on something that was very infected. On the bright side my pain tolerance is insane because of it.
Strained rib muscles. I've broken bones, had weather-based migraines since I was nineteen, used to have periods, and had compartment syndrome for literally a decade- but they all pale in comparison to the night I spent in the ER waiting room barely able to breathe sitting up and completely unable lying down, for eight hours straight, because the nurses thought I was drug-seeking (I'm Native). By the time they finally took me seriously at the change of shifts at 9 AM the pain had passed and it was misdiagnosed as a gall bladder attack.
The pain after I got my bottom two wisdom teeth taken out. One was still stuck in my jaw bone. I was knocked out for the surgery, but oh my god the recovery was so rough. The only pain meds I had was co-codamal which wasn't strong enough. I didnt eat for a week. I was constantly trying to throw up, but I had nothing inside me. I couldnt even drink water. I slept for 23 hours straight one day. Worst two weeks of my life.
Oh, i have a good one! Nerve-block for status migrainosus.
Status migrainosus (also called intractable migraine) is an especially severe and long-lasting form of migraine headache. Only about 1% of migraine sufferers ever are affected by migrainosus headaches, but they're way intense and they stick around for longer than the 72 hours that normal migraines are generally confined to.
In my case, that means theyll go for _weeks_ without much I can do to stop it. Medication doesn't really do much against these things.
What winds up happening, then, is I get stuck with a really awful status migraine for weeks and then, eventually, give in and book an appointment with my neurologist to get nerve block all around my head and down the back of my neck.
I had a cyst on the crest of my ass crack. Not knowing what it was, I waited too long to get it checked out. Ended up having to get it cut open before the numbing took affect. Pushing all the ooze out hurt the worst...and so did the remaining ooze that had to be cleaned out every week or less. Not a good time.
Cathoder, no doubt. not going in but coming out is like the wrath of a thousand suns and that first pee afterwards is the most intense pain I've ever felt
Kidney stones.
I wanted to pass out but couldnt, so just writhered on the ground, vomitting, and yelling
I believe it when they say its worse than gunshots
Both physically and emotionally: getting raped when I was 6. By my own dad. I have good tolerance of pain but that still hurt A LOT.
Recent ones are when I cut open myself and my vein to “let blood” as a means of self harm. I once lost 2L (1L at night and 1L next afternoon), passed out and went to hospital, and then had stitches without anestesia because hey it’s basically free self harm. I feel like I deserve and am supposed to be in pain.
i used to feel like that too. mood stabilizers + antipsychotics + two antidepressants + therapy later and im a lot better.
bunny yeah I tried over a dozen medicines and am currently on 5. Have a CP of 7 years also. Would’ve killed myself already without the help. They’re amazing. Had suicide attempts but sadly survived :(
I’m so sorry about what happened to you. Remember to stay strong and keep your head up. There will always be people for you 🙏
@@disguisedpiggy8440 When stuff like that ever "heals" it takes alot of years a Psycho Doc i know told me ones it takes ATLEAST the time you already have that in your " Mental backpack" (difficult to say iam not a native english speaker its translated from German). My best friend is fighting now a depression he surpressd for 10 years cause his Father died of cancer when he was 10 (he is now 27) and he was often close to one step over the line. The Last 2 years it got better with Therapy and Meds but the Meds fucked up his Memory before that he had a Brain like an Elephant and now iam Happy when he can remember what we talked about last week.
I don't know which country you're in, but if a health care professional doesn't seem to listen to you, change if you can. I wish I'd left therapy earlier (unable to change due to NHS being so overworked already- clearly I don't REALLY want help if I won't have it with who I'm assigned!). They seemed to read off the same questions every week. Not feeling more down that usual? No plans to kill yourself in the next week? No more self harm since last week? Looks like you're fine then! I ended up running away from home after my relationship with my mum deteriorated, then they were saying I might need to be locked up in a mental facility! Apparently that was me being in danger. Even when I'd cut superficially as self harm, they seemed so unphased by it. Different specialists will help you in different ways. For me, it took them 6 months to find that CBT wasn't really working for me- though it could work for you. They refused to put me on tablets because of my age (if this happens CHANGE DOCTORS, LEAVE) until I ran away. If I hadn't run away (btw don't do that, it's not the right way to go about it) I'd probably still be going there now, being spoken to like an upset 5 year old. I'm now on antidepressants and I couldn't imagine my life without them (I likely wouldn't have a life without them).
I've had meningitis, diverticulitis, abscessed molar, endometriosis, depression, and three serious bouts with cancer. But the WORST pain I ever endured never got diagnosed. I was walking to my car after work one day. I started feeling jolts of pain in my hip and thigh, like someone was pressing live electric wires into me. The pain spread to my pelvis and spine and by the time I got home I was completely incapacitated. There was absolutely no position that brought relief. Couldn't sit, stand, walk, or lie down without agony. The pain intensified like someone was repeatedly ramming a red-hot poker through my bones and into my marrow. Pains meds had no effect. After 4 days it eased up some. I slowly got dressed and decided to try leaving home. Went for groceries and suffered so much hip pain that I left. It took months to completely disappear. I have no idea what caused it, but wouldn't wish that level of misery on anyone. Oh, you might wonder if I sought medical help. When I called the doctor he said "we have to expect some aches and pains as we get older" (I was around 50). SMH.
When I was around 16 or 17 I was a tower diver. I screwed up bad on a dive. Small fractures on the bone, pinched nerves, and a hernia. No paralysis, but I still couldn't walk because of the pain. I still deal with back pain because of it years later
...I'm starting to get the impression that it's not normal how I managed to go through my wisdom teeth extraction conscious (I was on a muscle relaxer and some Vicodin, but was otherwise lucid), with no mental trauma and minimal post-op pain. They gave me like eight lidocaine shots in various parts of my mouth, but I was definitely awake. The part that hurt the most were the weird shallow lacerations left over from the hooked jig thing they used to hold my mouth open, and considering they had to crack one of my teeth to get it out of me due to the level of impaction that's saying something. Every time I tell someone I was conscious during the procedure and even remember parts of it vividly (especially the cracking of the tooth, what music I was listening to in my headphones, and being lucid enough to communicate through the notepad app on my iPod), I get a look of abject horror at the prospect of not being fucked-up mentally from it.
I got this. Trigeminal neuralgia. Worse than abcessed tooth. Worse than childbirth. Worse than migraine. Worse than kidney stone or gallbladder pain. Worse than burn. Worse than surgery. I had all of them. And unrelenting. This disorder is also called the "suicide disease". I've had it for years. When it flairs, the pain will last for days, despite Tegretol. Delaudid doesn't help. Oxy doesn't help. I've gotten so bad that I couldn't see and couldn't take a breath in. When I think of that pain, I well up with tears. Trigeminal is a jolting, electrocution pain in the face that feels like your face is being hit by a lightening bold. Minute after minute. And in between it feels like an abscess. You're glad when that pain comes. I get it in jaw, nose, tongue and above eye. If I get it again, I don't know if I'll be able to survive. It's rare.
Wow, I was going to say stepping on Lego barefoot is my worst pain ever but I'm just going to keep quiet after reading your story.
Having a eyelash lazered out of my eye. Was even more painful then when I got my eye cauterized
Bro the one at 6:35 had me DYING LAUGHING out in the open
1: When I was in high school, I was adjusting the parallel bars for my height. I had my hand too low on the bar stem, it collapsed sucked my pinkey finger in the tube and tore off the skin of my finger print down to the tendon.
2: I was mountain biking with friends while stationed in Germany. I hit a branch and was sent flying over my handlebars and landed on a tree stump and my right hip immediately popped out and back in the socket. I had an enormous bruise from my ribs to my knee. 10/10 would not recommend.
Kinda a normal one for people with periods but my cramps are the worst, I thow up and I cry it's horrible. Plus I get mine really often and theres like a few days of torture for a week or two of rest and then the actual period where they're even worse lmao
I know you didn't ask but try removing dairy from your diet. And an iron supplement. Yes, I know you didn't ask.
This is really abnormal. Please go to a doctor and ask about endometriosis because that's what this sounds like.
My first cramp was so bad my parents thought it was appendicitis
My dad has diabetes. He tells me he used to lay awake for hours, paralyzed with pain as he felt the nerves die in his feet.
years ago, I got two fingers almost completely cut off by a table saw. One was too badly mutilated that there was no way to save it and it was just hanging on by a small piece of skin. The Dr. felt that the other one could be saved. Before I had been given anything for pain, the Dr. told the orderly to hold me down while he placed the finger into the position it was supposed to be in. I was about 200 lb. then and flat on my back. The orderly was around 280+. With my one available arm, I was tossing him the length of the table, knocking over the light and the instrument tray, while the whole time the Dr. was yelling at the orderly to hold me down and the orderly kept repeating "I'm trying!" He finally gave me a shot of demerol. I must say, that's some good stuff. After the shot, he could have taken my arm off, and I would not have cared.
I broke my femur right above my knee when I was 12. Had a couple of friends over for the night bc it was my 13th bday that weekend. We were wrestling on the pull out sofa bed and I landed in an odd position that caused my right femur to bend and snap into over my left leg. Heard a strange pop and felt immediate tingling and then tremendous pain. Thought I had messed my knee up at first and thought I could lay there for a while to see if it got better. That was around 10pm and I ended up laying like I was until the next morning, maybe got 30 min to an hour of sleep and by 7am my leg was super swollen and you couldn't even touch it without me almost passing out. Parents and grandpa had to lift me onto a rolling computer chair and my brother held my leg while they rolled me out to my grandparents van. My leg was like a noodle the way it moved and I was likely in shock by then. Was so glad to get to the ER and get that pain shot. Worst. Birthday. Ever.
Id say that having appendix pain every couple of months for 2 years then having a particuarly bad night and having it removed kinda sucked.
My worst physical pain had to be my gallbladder attacks, it felt like I was dying! This past weekend, 18 months after my gallbladder removal, I ended up developing another stone in my bile duct and had to be rushed to the hospital to deal with it. That was the worst 72 hours.
There is a list of ailments that are commonly known to doctors to be particularly painful, like pancreatitis, trigeminal nerve pain, ankylosing spondylitis. I actually have advanced ankylosing spondylitis that so far hasn't been successfully treated because I have "failed" the treatments and am allergic to the majority of medications, and I have been hospitalized for pancreatitis numerous times. I also had trigeminal nerve pain for years because of an allergy to shunts implanted in my brain. The worst pain I have experienced to date, however, is a cerebrospinal fluid leak. I had a total of 10 brain surgeries in less than 4 years and my body was rejecting the shunts that were supposed to be taking the excess fluid off of my brain, but instead my body was breaking and clogging the shunts, and I ended up with pools of cerebrospinal fluid in my lower back the size of a softball, and even at times just fluid leaking directly out into the open air. When fluid leaks like that, it takes away the cushion for the brain, so it's like the brain is resting on the bones or rubbing up against membranes. It's really painful. Any time my head was raised greater than parallel to the floor, it was like I was being beaten with a tire iron. They let me leak for a year and replaced that shunt; now I have one that clogged 17 days after surgery and they decided not to keep operating on me, since I'm allergic to all materials. I have to take medication to stop rejecting the shunt kind of like what transplant patients have to do to keep going. This is something that will never show up on a common pain list because it's rare. Trust me, though, it's up there, and I've had biopsies without any kind of numbing.
Broke my jaw completely off on my left side, bone went through the back of my mouth and almost cut my tongue completely off. Hanging on by a thread. I would take that 10 times over a single broken rib anyday!
bro are you alright i really feel ya i feel the pain through ur comment
How did it happen? I you don’t mind me askin
wtf dude how the fuck that happend O.o
How
@@face_yes I'm okay. It happened back when I was in high school. Thanks man.✊
I've had some tooth pain before, as well as back and joint pain from injuries sustained while I was in the Marine Corps. The absolute worst pain I have ever felt was when I was working in a sheet metal factory and cut off the side of one of my fingers.
I'm in constant severe pain, but the worst had to be the recovery from my second brain surgery (only 3 months after the first.) I wasn't completely healed from the first brain surgery so the second one was so much worse. It didn't help that for the first two days they were giving me a pain medicine that doesn't work at all on me.
Crushed my middle finger in between a tire and brake when mounting it(This morning lol), it rivals with Ingrown toenail surgery.
The car was a sedan with heavy rims, it peirced the skin, but only "bled" what looked like water.
I had ingrown toe nail surgery too. I was the youngest patient they'd ever done it on at the time (7-8) and the injections hurt so damn much. They gave me about 5 mini rolls to eat though so I was fine. The operation didn't work, so they tried to do it again, and I sat on my feet and refused to let them inject me (apparently they didn't have chocolate that time). Still haven't gotten them fixed, but they get infected a lot less now thankfully.
That's a big middle finger. . Owch...
For me, it’s breaking my arm and/or dislocating my knee.
I was 4 when I broke my arm and it probably hurt the most, but I dislocated my knee just a few years ago so I remember it better. It was a very sharp and strong pain that didn’t ease until it was popped back in 20 minutes later.
I stepped on a nail when I was eight years old. I don’t remember exactly how painful it was anymore, but it was pretty bad. I still remember clearly when i felt it puncture my foot, and before the pain started, I went “Oh no.” in my head.
Both my stupidest and most painful injury: Walking on campus in steel-toed boots, the laces of one boot get caught on the other and I literally tripped myself over and hit the concrete. I had one hand in my pocket so as I fell, my right arm went outwards to catch myself and the left was stuck in my pocket. Fractured my right elbow, smacked my left elbow and left knee onto concrete. Worst of all, my only flatmate with a car was high so couldn't drive me so I took an hour-long bus journey to the closest A&E. My parents came up to campus to visit me and while trying to help me get my sling back on, my mum pushed against my arm and because of the location of the fracture, I thought I was gonna puke
The cancer story hit me where it hurts.
my mum was diagnosed with melanoma in July 2019, which is the worst skin cancer you can get.
But luckily she was able to have the tumour removed and is on the new treatment they've been trialling on melanoma patients and results have been positive and not long before he was diagnosed they began giving it to patients with stage 3 (which is what my mum is).
It's caused some side effects but nothing where she's had to stop her treatment. She has 3 more treatments and then they're just going to be giving her regular scans and blood tests.
So it's looking hopeful. But I still get scared for her at times and it does make me feel low. I haven't really gone through a big death in my family so i'm not sure how i'd react or cope if she or my dad died. They're my world really...
So for me the worst physical pain I ever experienced was my appendix ready to explode on me felt like a thousand knifes going into my stomach. And the worst mental pain is surviving my suicide attempts.
For my Emotional pain : best friend of 7 years passed away from brain cancer this summer.
Physical: migraines.
every race i run is painful. the worst one was a 5k with 2 long hills, both during the second half of the trail, plus i was sick and dealt with a shoulder cramp and severe nausea the whole time. in general i love running but when i have to push my body to its limits, it's hell sometimes.
Chronic migraines, and tooth aches instantly come to mind.
And I guess gastritis pain.
But I know for sure there's much worse out there- and that terrifies me.
Heartache sucks too but I wouldn't compare 'em 😅
Literally out of nowhere one day, i slept on my shoulder incorrectly and when i woke up my arm couldnt even move it hurt so badly, i nearly threw up and cried for an hour.
I remember having UNBEARABLE pain because I had a filled tooth with a dead and infected nerve. got 1/2 of a root canal done, the dentist got the back of the tooth open and the nerve cleared out, put in temporary filling. top lip swelled to nearly 3 times its original size for about 2 weeks, I was taking an antibiotic to get rid of the rest of the infection. finished the root canal and all is well.
worst. pain. ever.
Hmm... tough one. Ear ache hurt so bad I threw up, dry socket after having my wisdom teeth removed on my right side. Strep throat, pinched sciatic nerve, and endometriosis. I have chronic pain. Migraines so much I need it to be dark and I can have the air on. Not anything else.
when I was serving as a missionary for my church, I became deathly anemic. Absolute no iron, very little red and white blood cell. ignored it until my Mission President told me to go to the doctor. Symptoms included: permanent exhaustion, sleep paralysis, loosing hair+hair was very frizzy, white yellowish skin, pain in the legs with any sort of exertion (stairs were my enemy), every time I ate my stomach hurt massively, weak, heart pumping in my ears, severe depression.
4 blood transfusions and an iron induction to get me bare minimum normal, they obviously sent me home to get better.
I’m anemic again now, only low iron for now luckily, but I’m tired all the time and idk how I worked as hard as I did with no blood, and I’m afraid it will escalate if we don’t figure out what is causing it and I’ll be back in that state.
I've been pretty lucky when it's come to painful experiences, but the two most painful I remember was a really weird stomachache that hurt like hell but went away as quickly as it came. No idea what caused it and haven't had a problem since. Probably the worst though was a headache (probably a migraine) that lasted at least a week- this was when I was a lot younger so I'm not sure. Could barely move without my head feeling like it was going to explode. The medicine the doctor gave me made me throw up too- so yeah, fun times. I used to get headaches frequently, nothing like that though. I don't get them nearly as often now though.
Ughhh the fourth story makes me squirm.
Healing from rotator cuff surgery that included a bone graft. There was about a three day gap between when I ran out of painkillers and when the pain finally let up. That, or getting that dislocated shoulder popped back in with no anesthesia other than nitrous oxide
so glad they put me out for my wisdom teeth and i only had three. worst pain i've ever experienced and i have a very high pain tolerance. like for example i was walking around just a few hours after i had abdominal surgery. but this mouth pain was so bad. i didn't even have a dry socket.
Several things come to mind. The first, I was in labor for TWO DAYS! They put me on a pitocin drip, which makes your contractions more powerful. My epidural failed to take and I ended up ripping it out of my back. After forty some hours had passed with me fully feeling amplified contractions, I then pushed a nine and a half pound human being out of me! NO EPIDURAL!.
Secondly, I had surgery on my right foot a few decades back to fix a congenital bone deformity. They essentially made a two inch incision on both sides of my foot, ground the bony growths down, then broke every bone in my foot, repositioned them, screwed them back in place, and sewed me up. I had been under general anesthesia, but they'd also given me a popliteal block (a nerve block at the knee), and told me I'd feel nothing for twenty-four hours. WRONG!
My mom picked me up from the hospital (which was about 20 - 25 minutes away from my house) because my husband couldn't take off work. We planned to stop at the pharmacy to fill my Darvocet prescription, but before we even got to the pharmacy (a five minute drive from the hospital), I was in pain. It felt like it took forever for that script to get filled! I wasn't thinking clearly, and my mom just wanted to get me home, so neither of us thought to buy a drink. I had to wait twenty minutes til I got home before I could take the pills.
By the time we arrived, I was in so much pain I felt like I was going to black out! My mom (she's 5'5" and I'm 6') somehow managed to get me up the front steps and onto the couch. I hurt so bad I would have preferred giving birth to my son all over again than to continue one more minute in that agony.
Mom got me a glass of water and I took my meds and lied there waiting for it to kick in. The next thing I know, I'm puking. I was allergic to the Darvocet!
My mother called the surgeon and he prescribed Oxycodone, so mom left to go pick up the new script. In the meantime, I lay on the couch clenching the cushions in my fist and doing the lamaze breathing I'd been taught four years back when I was pregnant with my son. It didn't work then, so I don't know what I thought it was going to do. I was so desperate for relief I would have juggled watermelons while upside down in a pool if someone said it would help. The time crept by, and after forty-five minutes, I resorted to bargaining with God; pleading for the pain to stop, even if just for a moment. Just when I contemplated grabbing my husband's rifle, my mom arrived!
It took another forty to fifty minutes for the Oxy to kick in, and I ended up conking out. Agony is exhausting! I wouldn't wish that day on my worst enemy!
I passed a kidney stone once, and it was a piece of cake compared to the aforementioned experiences. I also suffer from debilitating migraines. The kind where I must lie perfectly still in complete silence, in a pitch bkacm room or else I vomit profusely from the pain. Still not as bad as childbirth or the foot surgery.
And last, but not least, I once had several molars removed, got dry socket, and the next day had to board a plane and fly three states away! If the tooth extraction and dry socket weren't bad enough, being at that altitude severely exacerbated the pain of dry socket! I chewed Vicodin like they were Tic Tacs! Just BARELY took the edge off the excruciating agony! 0/10. Do not recommend! Absolutely #3 on my list of worst pains!
The constant severe pain from a soft ball sized ovarian cyst, AND period cramps while I had a horrid case of endometriosis.
Mine would probably be gout, that hurts really really bad, even worse than when I woke up in the middle of surgery but couldn't move because of anesthesia
I had an Ovarian Torsion during the last few weeks of summer. It felt as if someone were twisting the inside of my pelvis, and I couldn't stop screaming. I was fully awake and conscious during the whole thing, and was rushed to the hospital. I had to go into surgery, and had to have my right ovary removed before it caused more problems. I'm fully better now.
Kidney pain.. I get any kind of discomfort in my flank I have a panic attack. Traumatised.
Not trying to compete with anyone considering how horrible most of these are, but I'll describe two from my own experience. First is giving birth without an epidural (not my choice, came in too late). The doctor held my legs open, and once the head came through, I could feel EVERYTHING. Shoulders, arms, legs, even down to the little fingers and toes, all of it. Not a high tolerance for pain so I screamed through most of it. Felt like I was being split open. Having an epidural for my second baby was like night and day.
Second worst was also during the first pregnancy. LO was sitting on right my sciatic nerve. I remember standing up and sitting down in so much pain I was in tears. I ended up calling 911 at a BK because of the sharp pain extending from my lower back down my leg. Everyone including the EMTs said it sounded like sciatica so I stayed for one night. They monitored my pregnancy and gave me a walker the next morning. I learned the pain wouldn't go away til I delivered and got a cab ride to the trolley station. I actually went into labor just 6 days later, so I got lucky there
It didn’t hurt so bad physically, but the emotional trauma of my girlfriend of three years who I was getting ready to propose to and was gonna adopt kids with and share life together with punching me in the face because she was angry tops my chart. She was never like that until she was. She never abused me until she did. Still didn’t dump her even after the second time a couple days later. Stayed with her for months after. She broke it off with me over something stupid. I’m glad she’s gone. Things were so bad for me. Touch was my primary love language and she never touched me, not even to hold my hand. And then the coup de gras of punching me? I didn’t break up with her but I sure checked out.
life gets better, you just have to weed through all the morons first:)
Broke my leg and ankle walking off a curb, eleven years ago, had surgery, plates and screws, still hurts everyday.
For me, I'd say the worst pain was either
Having one of my teeth removed and the days (weeks) that followed were horrible, or
Having a cavity in another tooth, half of the tooth was gone and while eating chicken, biting on a small bone that hit the inside of that tooth
I honestly just put down the rest of the chicken and went in my room, wanting to cry. I felt like throwing up when that tiny piece of chicken bone hit the tooth pulp
I woke up with a pinched nerve in my neck, as a kid, and every time I moved my neck, I wanted to scream.
16:33 I know it sounds cliche but keep going! keep fighting day by day. It's not going to be easy or even seem achievable but you have to continue. It's not your time and this can only take you out if you give up, you can still thrive even though it seems like you can't right now. I believe in you and people love you and need you!
Had a cut on my right thigh which got infected. The doctor recommended my parents to disinfect it using one medication which unfortunately the pharmacy ran out of stock of. They sold them an alternative which is the same but the big difference is that it stung like heck when poured onto an open wound.
Makes me feel very lucky. Worst pain I'll ever get is a bad migraine, but I've learned the cause of them and have since learned how to avoid getting them. But the slow, irritable, sometimes incurable (without Tylenol) head pain as you lay down in bed that progressively escalates into extreme pain with nausea definitely isn't pleasant. I'm also not a fan of going to bed with a headache and then waking up with that same headache.
-Standing on a thumbtack and getting it trapped in a nerve
-Ripping the soft tissue in my knee when I dislocated it
-CONCUSSION 🤕
-Pneumonia hurts a lotttt
-Sepsis is pretty awful
-I mean my finger got cut off and reattached but I was a baby but can imagine that hurt
I got a few ones tied to place 1 for the physical pain
1: When i was 7 i fell off a spring due to being dizzy from 2 drunk 10th graders spinning me around. Fell backwards, twisted around in the air and landed on my arm.
Swings have these holes under them from kids scraping their feet on the ground. My wrist and my elbow landed next to the hole, my arm above it. Both bones broken straight through. That was one shitty summer... until my mom bought me my first Nintendo DSi. Then it was one of the best
2: I was dropkicked in 7th grade against the knee... yet again by a 10th grader and my knee bent sideways 40°. It was so bad that i would have wished for my leg to just be cut off finally... then the doc yanked it back into being straight without anastesia... i still have BAD problems in my right knee...
3: 7 days of migraine. In my sleep, with HEAVY painmeds, in school. All the time just migraine. No end to be seen, no way of getting it to go away. My parents thought about buying me weed to maybe make it stop. Then suddenly the next day after crying myself to sleep. GONE
Emotional: 2 ones...
1: A Kid from our neighbourhood kept teasing me about our family cat being "flat on the sidewalk" and i then broke his nose... well my dad went on his scooter and a box to check it out. He drove home crying and holding the box... and my dad never cries. This broke my heart the first time... and broke the neighbours kid's nose almost the second time as i went and punched it again because he was laughing
2: I held another one of our cats in my arms as he was trying to stand up with a broken neck. He tried climbing through a neighbours window, slipped and hung his neck through the window. He was still alive and tried standing up all the time, so i kept his head down and gently pet him... he was purring and got more relaxed... then he stopped purring and i felt him get cold just as my mom got into the room to pick him up to get him out of his misery at the vet. He never made it to the vet and i kept holding him for some time while my mom and me were crying... this broke my heart the second time.
Since then i swore to myself that if i see someone mistreating animals to deliberately hurt them... i will go out of my way to pull out their fingernails one-by-one and sprinkle salt into the wounds. Or worse stuff
when they used a barbed hook to literally scrape the nerve tissue out of a tooth that was dying
there was local anaesthetic of course but apparently that dont work fer heck if you tear directly into the nerve
My dad knew a guy who accidentally got plastic melted on his hand, and the plastic cooled on his hand, so when he tried peeling it off his hand, his skin was also getting removed and it hurt him like hell.
