re: What's caused you the most amount of physical pain in your lifetime

I just want to say that this has been the most painful thread I have ever read. I would wince at every other post.
My worst pain would be a terrible case of swimmer's ear. I had bad recurring ear infections as a kid and had the swimmer's ear on top of an infection. It was a constant stabbing pain in my ear that got worse when I tried to sleep. I had to see the ENT every other day and get shite sucked out of my ear with a vaccum pump thing that sounded like he was sucking my brain out of my head. Alcohol and peroxide and antibiotic drops were prescribed, but burned like fire. I was in misery for over a week until we got it under control.
I've broken bones and had other problems, but the constant pain of that ear problem was the worst pain by far.
