Beauty & Style The worst pain you've felt.

Breaks hurt but from my experiences aren't really excruciating on the pain level.
Had compound fractures of the foot in a bike accident yet still managed to get up and push the bike to the road-side.
Broke a two in two places yet somehow still won my squash match.

Root canal that went wrong had me in an endodontist's chair for a couple of hours trying to pull the pin that had been dropped in too deep through root canal work.
After about the fifth time he hit a nerve, I was so exhausted I just didn't have the strength to fight any more.

ACL and what the knee specialist described as some of the worst bone bruising he'd seen, may just be the most pain I've ever been in.
Half an hour of gasping for air and on the borderline of passing out. Makes me sick even thinking about it.

Ruptured spleen. The bump itself from footy only hurt as much as a normal hard knock, but trying to lay down flat on the emergency bed in hospital 10 hours later, even with the aid of 15 beers in my system and the morphine they were pumping in was truly painful. Slightly off topic but the catheter that was inserted shortly afterwards was one of the strangest feelings I've ever experienced, not in any rush to have another one of them again.
 
Physical pain would be what forced me to give up footy, head clash which fractured a cheekbone and cracked a vertabrae in my neck, the neck was of course very sore but the headaches from the nerve being squashed were the most intense pain I have ever experienced
Non physical was when I found out about my ex's affairs ( plural !)

On the contrary, throwing her things out was very therapeutic, although childish
It made me feel clean, if that makes sense, although even to this day, years later, pain still lingers
I met a girl about a year later and we are expecting our third in August, life has a way of kicking you in the right direction
 
Got kneed in the back/pelvis playing footy one game diving on a ball. Was really painful and I wasn't able to stand up straight or walk the rest of the day but that wasn't the worst of it. It was still sore the next day and I thought a hot bath would help and as I took one something locked up and any movement really hurt. Ended up going to school but any sharp movements would cause it to spasm and feel like it was cramping up so I looked like i was hobbling and someone had stock a giant rod up my ass whenever I'd walk. Did this for about a week and catching trams was the most tedious thing I've ever done. When the trams would stop and start I would grab onto a pole and try and minimise any movement but sometimes it would catch me out and i'd be in pain for the next 2 minutes trying to relax. Still dunno what I did to myself but I do know I definitely don't want it to happen again.
 
Got hit square on the pills (wearing a box, but still) in the nets at cricket practice once. Absolutely searing off cutter on an ill-prepared green top that just cut me in two. That was extremely painful, box or not. The box cracked and...yeah.

I got hit in the box two balls in a row in the nets at cricket practice once, first time was from our fastest bowler so it took a while to recover before facing up again. The next bowler wasn't as quick but he had a brand new ball that was swinging like crazy and a ball well outside off that I thought was safe to leave swung in and got me in the box again. That was enough for me, I retired hurt and went and laid down near the kit bags for the rest of practice.
 
Had a twisted testicle in my teens and had some wisdom teeth pulled. However the memorable one is playing beach cricket one summer and sunburning my feet. During the game I decided to take off my sneakers forgetting I hadn't applied sunscreen there and that they hadn't seen sunlight for 12 months. Was an overcast day anyway. However, a day after my feet were so red and sore I couldn't move for a week. After a couple of days the pain went away if I didn't move but if I got up to go to the loo or even just sit up the pinching pain was unbelievable. When the doctor saw it, he thought I had burnt myself some other way like hot water or something. The pinching took at least two weeks to go away but my feet were notably tanned for two years.

Two in a row. Man, just reading that makes you wince.
 
The worst pain I've felt is solely attributed to my knees. They suck arse.

I've dislocated my left knee 6 times and since had an arthroscope which seems to have sorted it. 12 months after the op on my left knee I started dislocating my right knee cap, I've done it four times in all and broken it too. Putting my knee cap back in is probably the worst pain, but the relief afterwards is unreal.

I'm yet to experience any arthritic pain but given that I'm only 26 I imagine it can't be too far off. Having dodgy knees is really lame, I can't play footy anymore and even start to feel really sketchy around slippery surfaces for fear of doing it again.

Yeah getting hit there once was bad enough but twice was just too much to handle.

As you said it's still bloody painful even with a box, I'd hate to think how bad it would be without one. I remember when I first started playing junior club cricket when I was around 9 or 10 and a kid got hit in the jatz without a box and it wasn't a pretty sight. He went down like a bag of s**t writhing in pain, he was down for ages and the coaches and players were all crowding around him and you could tell it was more serious than normal. I was fielding down on the boundary and came in to see what all the fuss was about and got told he wasn't wearing a box, even at that age you knew that was a really bad thing.

This kid eventually got carried off the field and I don't know what happened to him after that but it was a stark reminder to never bat without a box.
