I've only had one about 13 years ago. I couldn't imagine going that every 2 years. Seriously painful! I was told that drinking coffee probably started mine so I've only had a dozen or so coffees in the past 13 years.

I've had a Muscle Disease (Polymyositis) since 1966 , age 12 ,which one of the symptoms is Muscle Cramps . To give you an idea how severe , I had a broken ankle in 1995 I class as a pain rating 5/10 .
Quite often I get cramps in the Chest/Back & Leg muscles 10+/10 approx 2-3 times a week The worst one lately just "won't go away" , it started about 2nd week of March in my sternum (sp) and is still there , I live on a cocktail of Panadeine Forte , Valium , Tramel & Morphine . When I was younger it used to come & go , might get 5-6 years between bouts , but now I'm older it's pretty constant all the time . Problem is that "there is no cure" and there's only about 8 people in Aust. with it , (have felt like "pulling the pin" a couple of times) But Hey , I'm still vertical most of the time and when I was Ok , I lived life "to the MAX" . and have done more than a lot of my healthy mates have . Lesson learnt , "Live every day to the MAX and look at tomorrow when it gets here". Carnutt |

When I was 11, my brother jumped on my toe (next to the big one) and cracked it. Yeouch! Shortly afterwards when walking up the stairs, I clipped that same toe on the step and it hurt again. Eventually got it wrapped up. I was told not to run around, but as if an 11 year old kid is going to listen.
Another time I was having a bowel movement and let me say I was stretched to my limits. I almost passed out. I think I know now what mothers go through when giving birth. |

XRQTOR - you are bad news to be around - get a new job and new hobbies and are not so hazardous to your health !!!!
My list in order (which is nothing compared to the other horror stories) 1 - Petrol in the armpit (car on a hoist,and taking of the fuel filter, let the petrol (premium what more) run down my arm as I was undoing the little hose clamp)...it burns like acid!!!!!! ...and water doesn't help. I was jumping around the workshop like a monkey with everyone ****ing themselves laughing at me. 2 - Inflamed disc in the back....ehhh like eveyone else 3 - crushed finger in a door hinge - I screamed at that one (I was 12....) and it ended up going black with bruising and I lost the nail for a few weeks 4 - Stretching internal stiches that I had in my radial tendon after I severed it doing home renovations.....oh boy that hurt. |

Gall Bladder attack. Felt like someone stabbing me non stop in the back and abdomen area. There was no way to relieve pain, like moving etc. Pain lasted for a few hours and it wasn't until my fourth visit to the incompetent Geelong Hospital and my mother insisting I have a blood test that I was rightly diagnosed and not just sent home with a box of panadols. Had it ripped out at 25 years old.

racing motox in QLD january this year, was landed on by another motobike straight on my back. luckily no broken bones but ended up with 2 dislocated shoulders and burns on my back from the other bike lying on top of me. the most painful part was laying there with a 90kg bike on my back not able to move at all.... docs rekon they never seen both shoulders so badly dislocated at the same time.
Now my shoulders come out when rolling over in bed and i go through about 15m of strapping tape a week from riding my moto. Cheers Michael |

The worst pain i have ever felt was when i was playing school yard footy, went up for a mark got pushed in the back and landed on my ankle all wrong! Ended up cleanly breaking my tibia and fibia (spelling?) in half just above my ankle and messing up everything around it. 5 days later out of hospital with 2 plates in my ankle with 9 bolts and 21 staples on the outside holding my skin together were they had cut and unknown amount on the inside! Plus the doc told me they would be disolvable stitches, my *** they where as soon as the nurse went to take them out i almost fainted haha. The assistant principle who was supporting my ankle once i had done it told me when i got back to school 5 weeks later that all he could feel was my bones mushing and crunching around inside of me!

Worst pain I've had was 30% of my right lung collapsing. That hurt enough but on top of that they used a bloody great syringe to get the air out from between my lung and chest wall. 600ml of air it was using a 100ml syringe that wouldn't look at all out of place in a horse vets hands all under local anesthetic.

whilst drilling a piece of stainless pipe about 6mm in from the fresh cut end to put a pin in it the drill bit broke & my finger caught the end of the pipe on the way down, it cut into my fingernail at the cutical end & tore the whole nail off except for a small piece of skin that was holding it to the tip of my finger
or a few weeks ago i ended up with a large cyst on my back right on my spine, i couldn't sit down in any chair & any movement that stretched the skin hurt like hell, i was on antibiotics & they wern't working so the doc gave me 2 local anaesthetics so he could cut it & try to squeeze it out but i could still feel it, even taking 4 15mg codine tablets didnt help, ended up in hospital the next day & they put me out so they could cut it out, i felt 200% better even with a 40mm open cut in my back |

Not me, but recently a family member had an operation to cut something off his back and the anesthetic wore off (it was only meant to take half an hour but ended up taking over an hour) and he had to sit there while his back was being cut into and could feel it fully. They couldn't give any more anesthetic (something to do with the operation) and he doesn't want to go back into the room of the operation cos of the memory of the pain :S

When it goes down all the way the stick a chest tube (small plastic hose a little smaller than your little finger)through the ribs and hook it up to suction ( a week both times) to hold the lung out. When the surgen was about to do it the first time he told me he'd never had patient that hadn't screamed when he did it,I didn't break his run.......

oh, some of this stuff is freakin bad, especially the torn retina and old fella swabbing! LOL
Worst pain i had was after i had my appendix removed in Jan last year, ended up being emergency surgery cause it was about to blow. A month later i sat down on a step for a photo with the family, i bent further to do my shoelace up and pulled broke the stiches from inside behind the incision. THAT was the worst pain EVER. I have piercings and a full sleeve of tattoo's to put in in perspective. My brother fell off my motorbike the other month and completely busted his collar bone in half, I had to drive him to hospital in my car (slammed) and they didnt operate till 3 days later, he couldn't breath, move cough sneeze crap, nothing without being in tears. ended up with an awesome scar, poor bastard has had his thyroids removed as well.. same deal. |

Being bitten on the second smallest toe by a Tamborine Mountain Jumping Ant.
I've been bitten by some nasty critters in my life, but nothing beats one of these mongrels. The pain lasts for a long time and the area bitten has pins and needles for days. And unlike other insects, these thing are aggressive and will chase you across the lawn in a series of 60mm jumps to get at you. Where's Deildren when you need it? |

The worst I've felt was a virus thingy that I somehow contracted. My epydidimus (sp?) had swollen up to about 6-7 inches long. I couldn't sit cause it hurt, I couldn't stand cause it hurt, even lying down was very uncomfortable. And walking made me look as though I'd spent the last 20 years on a horse. Lasted about a week and a half. For those that are unsure of the epydidmus, it's what attaches your "pipes" to your testes! And it's not an STD!!!

3 cracked vertibre and 5 disks. 13t of armored vehicle droped out from under me and rapidly came back up when I drove it into an (unseen) hole. No pain killers just incase I had to be airlifted.
1 year later on Crew commanders cse for same type of veh., another unseen obsticle (this time I wasn't driving), 3 busted ribs, almost a flail chest, but 1 rib was still attached to the sternum. Some one telling me I should leave Buckets alone?

I've been pretty lucky with injuries(touchwood), losing the top of my nucle on my index finger hurt a bit, but not as the stuff above me.

Riding a 500cc air cooled Yamaha trail bike at age 16 (wearing shorts), i crashed and the bike was on top of me, when a mate helped lift it off the skin on the inside of my knee stuck to the engine's cooling fins, it looked like opening a grilled cheese sandwich.
I have broken 3 bones, the associated pain doesn't even come close to a nasty burn. |

When I was a kid, I had my makeshift slingshot at full extension and the wood broke, came back and hit me in the eye. Couldn't see out of it and blood was pouring out. After a while, it got better and the next day I could see again but my left eye would take about 6 seconds to focus on something. Then I started getting headaches and went to the doctor. He said there was a piece of splinter still in my eyelid so (without any anesthetic) he uses twesers to pull out the splinter and put 2 stitches in my eyelid. I was very lucky by a couple of mm not to have permanently blinded my left eye.

Few months ago i went to nelson bay to see a mates new boat.on the back of his boat there were 2 plastic portholes that were screwed and glued into the boat,anyway boat is rocking back and forward so i jump and go straight through the porthole with my shin catching the leading edge of the hard plastic at a nice angle to rip the flesh off my shin so i could see the bone.
3 months later i have a nice scar.

worst pain for me was when i fell out of a car window when it was going ~40kph (dont ask).. the actual landing and sliding along the bitumen didn't hurt too much as i was superman for long enough to get some addrenalin (sp?) pumping.. when i went to the hospital they wrapped me in this tape/sticky bandage stuff and sent me on my way with a info sheet on how to get it off..
my mum being a nurse din bother with no instructions and tried to change them after a week without using enough vegie oil or whatever it was yuo needed to coat them into get them to dislodge them from the scabs/skin. i had gravel rash all down my lhs (seriously the whole way down, angle to hand) and mum just started yanking the tape stuff off with my scabs etc in tow. took 30 mins to get the whole lot off and i've never since felt pain like that.. haha funny side note, while i was flying through the air i was thinkin 'rossi tries to roll to avoid serious injury so i'll do that'.. bad idea, ended up having 2 lots of scars 2cm apart from bouncing then sliding some more hahaha

Good God....... Reading some of these is painul enough.
My worst was returning home from Europe with the worst cold / flu you could ever imagine. No amount of TNT would have cleared my sinuses..... Boarded the plane then developed a splitting headache, the type you can feel pulsating with your heart beat against your skull. As we went up the pressure increased and my head, due to being so stuffed wouldnt equalize... the pain from the pressure must have been touching a nerve as it was unbearable. 13 hour flight from hell. Now whenever I fly I take a course of antibiotics and the strongest decongestant tablets there are with me just in case. |

Sliding down a 10m blade and using balls as brakes... just kidding.
I'd have to say it was when my right olecranon (tip of the elbow) broke off. I also have to agree with burns.... they get a good reaction from me.

My worst was when nursing my baby girl with no shirt on and she kicked her leg and her toe got caught in my nipple ring. The more i tried to release her toe the more she kicked and thought it was a game and the more it hurt.
Also broke jaw in two places and needed a few plates.
