re: What’s the most pain you ever felt?

Widowmaker heart attack. Much worse than 5 broken ribs.

Cluster headaches are debilitating. Had them for ten years off and on. Finally did find some meds to kill one but they took 15-30 minutes to work. Strangely, disappeared after I got a CPAP device except the second Covid vax made them reoccur for about a month

When I was a teenager, I had a tooth that was borderline root canal that my dentist tried to save with just filling but gave it a slim chance. Only one that was ever a problem. Said it probably cracked and started the process. Well tooth began to hurt a little bit over that weekend. Not the bad pain

I was drinking some ice water and chewing on the ice. Unknowingly setting myself up for a bad time. Well the ice put the little bugger to sleep.

But when the cold wore off and that bitch woke up. Holy hell. That’s the only time I have been doubled up in the fetal position hurting that bad.

I’d do two gallstone passes over that again.

Getting stitches taken out of my tongue and kidney stone.

I’ve got a few:

Bone marrow biopsy
Cystoscopy
Chest tube insertion

You a soda drinker supah?

During a period of extreme physical training I developed blisters on the pad of each foot, about 1”x2-3”, docs lanced them and injected some compound into the raw flesh.
Yeah, that was bad. Deep focused breathing and the pain passed after about 2-3 minutes. Docs said most people usually cried or freaked out.

Gout in my ankle. Sheets touching it hurt. I had to crawl everywhere crying in pain. That sucked

Shingles. My left arm felt like it was on fire for months. Made it nearly impossible to sleep. Even oxy barely dulled the pain. Even though it’s gone, i still feel the burning nerve pain from time to time.
