Losing a £10 note while at a footie match.

Having a misaligned shoulder put back in, without any numbing

[Olympia5776]

RTA resulting in a smashed left forearm ,broken in six places.
It was plated up with three steel plates screwed into the bones.
 After 20 months they were removed using a chisel and hammer as the bone had grown in and around them.
 This was in the late seventies when you got one post operation morphine injection and then you had to grin and bear it.
I was screaming for it to be amputated .......

TB.
Better lock this thread before Lizzie comes on & goes on about child birth & telling us men we don't know what pain is

Three things spring to mind

Appendicitus....
Walking on a broken leg directly after being knocked off my bike (and then taken home by the police before my mum drove me to hospital!)
The 30 minutes directly after a barium enema

lower stomach spasum.
Occording to the Dr, it is more painful than having a limb cut off without anisthetic

Back in the 70's I ran a mobile disco and we used flash pots ( the gizmo that causes the big flash and smoke puff at pop concerts of the day). Anyway --- the almighty flash you see on stage uses about 1/2 teaspoonful of magnesium oxide powder.

I was filling one of these (against all H&S regs -- entirely my fault) from a pot the size of a jam jar, when some unknown plonker plugged the gizmo in and flicked the ingite button !!!!

I literally went up like a roman candle -- apparently the scream was heard for miles  

Anyway, once I had got over the initial shock I organised someone to carry on running the show (the show MUST go on!!) and asked a mate to give me a lift to the casualty department. By all accounts I was still smoking when I walk through the door.

Then all hell let loose -- I was surrounded by medics and shot full of drugs -- from then on I was as happy as Larry (although I did cuss when they tried to cut off my brand new shirt!!).

I was transferred on blues and twos to the specialist burns unit at Frenchay and got a little belligerent with "Sister" when she wouldn't explain what they were doing ... swift injection and I woke up two days later !!!!!!

After all that it still didn't hurt ---- until they wanted to change the dressings !!!! Never felt pain like it !!!! Every day they had to clean the wounds and scrape off dead tissue --- as The Boy would put it --- it DID tingle a bit !!! !!!!

The scars remained rather tender for several years -- I even beat Michael Jackson to wearing one glove all the time ( except mine was greenish leather!).

30 years later the scars have all but disappeared -- the hair never grew back, but I am as handsome as I ever was

Pretty sure it is!
Go away, give birth, then come back and tell us what pain is!

Having said that I would rather give birth than have another tattoo! That was pain! Self inflicted though I know!

Achilles tendonitus! OUCH!

I have suffered form Trigeminal Neuralgia for 19 years, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_neuralgia

Apparently it is the most severe pain known, I can confirm that one, and was once the main cause of suicide in the old days

I think that would be me, i can't stand head aches. Luckily i don't get them often, when i do it's pain killers, else it turns into migrane & then i'm totally stuffed.
Other than that, i've had kidney stones & they are very painfull. The Dr gave me a shot that they give to women when giving birth & it didn't even touch it.
Totally different pain i know, but the worst thing i ever felt was losing my brother when aged eight. I still miss him even now

Well I haven't had anything as winceworthy as Entwood.

Maybe I had some really painful times in my childhood but from what I can actually remember, only a couple of years ago I had a severe bout of vomiting.
After the first 3 or 4 retches my stomach had completely emptied. Normally it stops there and I feel much better.
Not this time. It just kept retching and with nothing to bring up the pain was incredible. It went on for about a minute but seemed like an hour at the time. It was so bad I was in tears rolling around on the floor - ROFC I suppose!

Not as painful though and I keep doing this, standing on an upturned 3 pin plug. That is quite painful (but only for a few seconds) if the full force of your step goes down on it!

 Speaking of recently ...Coming out of my second hip replacement operation i was in agony and freezing cold, seems they didnt give me too much of something that made me sick as a dog after the anesthetic at my first hip replacement (other leg)
Just letting you guys know  what your in for when you get older & need hips replacing LOL  

Seriously its nothing once out of ozzie & in most cases very succesfull

[Andyswad]

Kidney stones, twice,

Second time I tried to convince myself that pain is only a electrical signal going to the brain to tell it something is wrong and that being 'hard' I could overcome this by mind over matter.

No I decided to roll around the floor screaming like a baby until the pain made me puke again,

Seemed like a good idea

[Gaffers]

having my entire body go into violent cramp following a heat injury at Sandhurst.  The cramp happened in the Ambulance on the way to Frimley Park, I had one leg on the ceiling, one leg attacking the paramedic, one arm trying to go through the window and the other on the opposite stretcher, not to mention the entire spinal column in spasm.  Lasted about 20mins until a doctor in A&E gave me some diazapam and the world seemed such a great place after that........

Mind you I am lucky in that many people who reach the temperature I got to (41.9C) end up dying slowly of multiple organ failure.  I owe my life to the actions of an Army Doctor

most pain ive ever been in was after waking up after a discectomy and laminectomy  on my lower spine
I woke up swearing and screaming for pain control
took 6 months to recover.
  turns out they damaged  the root of my sciatic nerve  and it cant be fixed that was in august 2002
I still have a compressed nerve and scar tissue aggrivating the whole area
 I take 20 pain killers a day
I can suffer the pain in the summer months but the cold winter months are awfull  (thank god for heated seats)


was told i would be back at work in 3 weeks HAH! 5 years later im still not working full time and i am  in more pain than i was pre op  

Doug

oh and forgot about the time a roofed my car broke my left wrist and dislocated my right shoulder  that wasnt sore at the time but half an hour later eeeek
