Bone breaking is nothing. I got hit by a car going at 60km/hr and didn’t break a thing. Even with landing on the corner of the kerb with my head.
I was actually somewhat disappointed.
I died once.
I was in a rollover accident once and cracked 3 ribs. For a month and a half it hurt if I even FARTED. Don’t even think about sneezing, or laughing, or coughing if you have a cracked rib.
I was kicked in the face by a horse.
I wasn’t in a very good mood for a few weeks after that.
Aside from toothaches, which are in a class of their own when it comes to pain.
Body wise an inflamed hip, try taking a shit when you can’t bend your hip, pain killers please. So much for being tough!

Yeah, I think the pain from most broken bones is overrated. Their are definitely way more painful things that can happen.

I suddenly thought of Lorena Bobbit.
Broken ribs sucked. Dislocated both my thumbs.
I had an eeg from my neck to my hands. Doc plucked the nerve about every two inches. Hurt like hell, every time. Tears streamed down my face, but I didn’t make a noise.
Any dental work.
The shard of glass in my eye sucked.
The gall stone had to be the worst. After a while, I prayed I would die.
Interesting that tooth aches are being cited as much as they are in this thread. I have had very painful toothaches, but I have never considered them to be amongst the most painful things to experience.
The worst is when I was in the hospital with a drain pump in my leg from a motorcycle accident. I woke up one morning and they yanked it out with no painkillers.
I’ve also had some intense lower back pain so bad I couldn’t walk. One wrong move and I was in agony.
A huge jelly fish stung the hell out of the back of my legs right at the knees while I was surf fishing. That sucked.
I hear the worst pain imaginable is a sting from a certain jelly fish in Aus.

yeah the box jelly fish
I’m going to go with having a baby and no meds. Having said that, however, I’d happily shoot out 10 of those bad boys instead of the teeth drilling with no novocaine. That one made my skin crawl. Visions of Marathon man danced in my head.
The worst pain is listening to women harp on about childbirth.

Ok Mr. Mak, I harped about the other guys dental issues. Your worst pain may be when you’re strangled by underwear sent in the mail…

As long as it’s your underwear.
Wait, what?
I contracted SARS in June of 2003 while traveling up north. A couple days later, I woke up to the worst headache I ever thought possible. I collapsed on the floor and woke up on my bed.
It progressed from there to extreme fever, raw throat, complete lethargy. My lungs filled with junk. My lungs had to be drained twice with a needle, but I was too out of it to notice. I had severe chills, would jump instantly from being so hot I thought my skin was baking to being so cold I was in a fetal position trying to get warmth.
Then the body aches set in - my entire body hurt so incredibly bad that I was hardly conscious for 3 weeks because I kept passing out from the pain.
I can not even begin to explain the extreme pain of this illness.
This lasted three months before I was finally back to normal. The first time I went outside after getting this, I got a 2nd degree sunburn over my entire back and shoulders because of medication still in my system - I was only outside for 15 minutes because I was too tired to last longer. I was completely covered in sheets of blisters like scales. Still have the scars.
I’ve done a lot of things - broke my nose, dislocated my ankle, sliced skin to the muscle on broken porcelain, knocked myself out in a car wreck, exploded a finder under a brick, broke a tooth, etc.
Nothing beats the summer of 2003.
Full body cramps from dehydration during senior year of football were the worst pain I’ve ever known. I was curled up in a little ball on the floor for hours. Every breath felt like a knife going into my ribs.
A close second was the ache following the removal of all four wisdom teeth at once. The pain was much higher than usual because I had a complete second set of wisdom teeth behind the first.
The operation to remove them all was performed in a hospital because they were carving so far into my jawbone that they thought they might poke through to something more vital. My jaw was so swollen afterward that I couldn’t even open my mouth. The painkillers didn’t even make a dent.

I’ve heard that people try to rip the effected limbs off rather than continue feeling the pain.
A toss up between a ruptured ovarian cyst and and an appendicitis attack that resulted in it being removed. (The triage nurse misdiagnosed me and left me in the emergency room waiting area for four hours with no meds at all.)
Makavali, although I agree with you on the ear cartilage, there are ones that hurt far worse…but they are way cool and so worth it.
