where does one of those glancing blows to the nads rank?

You mean like crushing your stones on the crossbar of your bicycle?

no, i mean like a finger flick that just grazes one...then you wait and get that feeling in your stomach because you know the pain is coming.

Years ago, I was half asleep on the couch when the phone rang. I jumped up to answer it and as I walked across the pitch black room I kicked the shite out of my metal PlayStation 2. I damn near cried. My toe swole up like a purple grape.

I started a thread about shin injuries a couple months ago after walking into our dishwasher door that my wife left open. I saw stars and immediately broke into a sweat the pain was so intense.

After a little research, it appears that the shin has a large amount of pain receptors with basically no muscle to protect them.

The shinbone (the tibia) is typically subcutaneous (directly beneath the skin) in everyone. Now the reason it hurts so much getting kicked, or sometimes even lightly grazed by something on the shinbone is because of the periostal layer. The periost is a layer that covers every bone in your body, and is filled with nociceptors (pain receptors), which are mostly myelinated nerve fibres. Being myelinated means nerves send signals upwards to 20-30m/s to the brain.

Now when you receive a kick to the shinbone, hundredthousand if not millions of nerve fibres send pain signals to your brain, which travels extremely fast.

I always though a great torture would be to tie someone up and crack them in the shins with a stick.

Getting fluid drained out of your knee is even more fun.

Herniated disc pain .
Wouldn't wish it on anyone

literally the worst

second worst in my experience was when I was catching in batting practice, with no cup (didn't usually catch) and fast ball goes off the plate and hits my nuts/chode area. I ripped the mask off and vomited

sat in the dugout with ice on my nuts til pop got there and took me home. I'll never forget that pain
