What do you think is the worst (non-lethal) pain you could get?
Personally I think a papercut on the head of my penis is the worst. I can't help winching even just thinking about it. owwww......

Kidney stones. Don't get worse than pissing out bits of rock.

Papercuts do hurt, but headaches are worse.

Having needles stuck through our toes or eyes. Ouch... the thought just makes me want to ball up into the fetal position and cry myself away to a happy place.

I wouldn't recommending watching 'Audition' (A Japanese Horror movie) then. 'Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper!' (If you've seen it, you'll know what I'm talking about! ;) )

What about having a boulder fall on your arm and having to cut your arm off with a dull pocket knife? That one guy in Colorado or wherever did it. I think that would be rather painful.

I would agree with that. Pressure headaches when you feel like your head is exploding and you just want to be able to pass out but you can't. Plus you also need to sleep but the pain is so bad you can't get to sleep for days and painkillers can't touch it.

Four hours strapped to a stake, forced to listen to Westlife songs.
:gundge:

Followed by being forced to have extended sexy sessions of copulations with ann Widdecombe...

I'd sooner gouge my own eyes out with a 2x4.

Having a catheter rammed up your tallywhacker. I knew I was in for it when the doctor gave me morphine and still said "This is going to be a little uncomfortable."

Gallstones. It seems to be a popular favorite. I had never before felt anything worse, it's like being sliced from the inside.

Childbirth with no drugs. To me though a toothache is almost as bad as that.

Having your knees broken. The mere thought of it makes my knees feel uncomfortable.

The worst pain I've ever felt (certainly not the worst pain others have felt) was in my feet and legs while I was backpacking through the mountains of New Mexico. For two solid weeks we walked everyday. At the end of it, my legs were so sore I couldn't stand up without the blisters on my feet feeling like they would kill me, and my legs feeling like they would give out any time. In my entire life until then, and afterwards, I've never felt worse.

Icy-Hot spread all over your...uh...erogenous zones.

You haven't seen anything until you've seen a grown man cry (very) drunk tears of pain from Icy-Hot making him sterile.

I have it on the good authority of a paramedic friend to whom I put this question to that the most painful non-fatal injury is generally a compound fracture of the femur (thigh bone).

A severed nerve. It is the pain that keeps on giving. Ask anyone who's had one; it is far worse than childbirth. That, after all, only lasts a day.

The worst pain I have ever experienced was when the entire family was driving to my cousin's graduation party and we had to listen to Dave Matthew's latest CD the WHOLE WAY. I was in physical pain while listening to that.

The only other thing I can think of was when my brother and I were racing a few years ago, and he tripped, fell on top of me, and we skidded across the asphalt. I skinned up my knees and elbow so bad, it just stung for days.

Try a dislocated shoulder...that's broken!

And you know how they put them back in place?

I will see your cramps, and raise you ovarian torsion. Go ahead and google it, then come back...

Yeah, I didn't know what it was either, until it happened to me. SWEET blazing googly moogly.

Guys -- think the female equivalent of a strangulated testicle.

Having somebody jam their fingers into your eye sockets while being sodomized with a club, and then maybe somebody else is choking you, while another guy breaks all your fingers and toes, while somebody is pulled your nails out with the back of a hammer.

Ciome on guys surely you all remember the old catching the helmet in the trouser zipper, and not being able to get the zipper back down and having to go hospital ohave it operated on.
And infront of all those nurses who are all looking at you as if you are demented.

I knew one lady that had given birth (without drugs) and also had passed kidney stones. Apparently, the stones are even more painful. But most of these... youch.

The worst pain I ever experienced was impaling myself on a 6 inch metal spike.

That fucking hurt.

The worst kind of pain...getting thrown off a horse into a barbed wire fence and landing on your neck...no...it's not that bad. Cramps are much worse, and they're still quite tolerable. I wonder how dry sockets feel, but I don't think that would be too bad. Hm...I really don't think pain is all that bad mostly. I can't think of anything really horrible. Maybe getting your intestines sucked out by a pool drain. Hm...*thinks about it for awhile*...nope.

1. any type of deep puncture wound.
2. getting your nipples gauged.
3. from a book i read:getting your eye pulled out with a corkscrew.
4. being flayed alive.
5. from personal experience: having an ear infection and going on a plane. because there's already so much pressure, when you hit cruising altitude you are curled up in a whimpering, sobbing ball and you feel like you're head is going to explode-although that would be a nice release and relief from how bad it hurts.

They did it to me without pain killer.
The worst pain is what "injuns" did. They to the prisoners load a double charge of powder in the musket and shot them in the groin area from point blank with the powder.

Where in the world did you hear THAT?!?!?!?!?
Personally I hate the word "injun" beacause I am part Native American. And not all indians did that, that is for sure.

I think the worst possible pain would be to be hung from a meat hook like that guy in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Of course, some people do that in Florida or some such place for fun.... *cringe* They also do it in Malaysian festivals as tests of strength or faith... something.

Also... rope burn in the more sensitive regions of your body ....

I think the quoted paramedic is probably correct about the compound fractured femur, it makes a lot of sense. However, I haven't had the pleasure. In all of my painful life, the worst to date was from a tooth problem. If you let a cavity go, and you end up with an infection in exposed innards of the tooth... I don't know what exactly it is that caused the pain, but it felt like several raw nerve endings must have been hanging out of my tooth into my mouth (I'm sure that wasn't the case). When the pain first set in hard, I didn't have any real medication or reasonable access to medical facilities. I found some liquid oragel, which I tried in increased dosages until I was basically gargling it with my saliva and it didn't touch the pain. I found some alcohol and some ibuprofen - over the course of about 15 minutes I drank what looked like about 1/3 liter of light rum and an entire 750ml of red wine, and then took 8 or so ibuprofen tablets of unknown mgs. None of the above had any effect on the pain, and I didn't get drunk or sleepy in the slightest - I might as well have eaten sugar pills and drank a bunch of water. The pain didn't begin letting up until fell asleep (or passed out, I don't kno what the difference is at that point) about 12 hours later, during which time it was impossible to concentrate on anything but the pain, much less doze off. I seriously contemplated suicide too many times to remember during that night.

Only talking about what I have experienced:

1) caffiene withdrawel headache (every nerve in your skull clenches up for hours);

2) uric acid nepropathy (acid turns to salt in your urethra).

Worst pain ever?

A story I heard (or read, I can't actually remember where I got it from)


Anyway, it involves a young man who was playing goalie for his soccer team on a cold morning. He went to take a goal kick, and when he swung his leg through it dislocated at the hip. Now this is pretty damn painful, and when players crowed around him as he lay on the ground, one suggested that he knew how to pop it back in. He then attempted to do so, only there was one problem. Something* got in the way as it clicked back into place and got caught. It poped.



*If you're male, you have 2 of them.
