re: What is the worst physical pain you’ve ever felt?

Open compound fracture of my left ankle. Got smoked by a 1980s station wagon, got up laughing thinking I was fine until that first step! Not so fine, the pain subsided quickly as adrenaline kicked in and took over. I did look at my leg once.. my foot was hanging from the bone before I just laid back and stared at the sky. I remember being warm and just staring into the clearest blue summer sky. Rehab was a biatch, lots of pain over the next few weeks. I still have this phantom bleeding sensation every now and then.
