@LadyGrace Thank you. I havenβt but I really should for one dr who was terrible. He was charging my insurance for things he didnβt even do. He was all about money.

Ok, so itβs almost kidney stones.
But I had one particular migraine once that was worse than all 3 kidney stones. I get migraines often, and that one stands out as the worst pain, and I donβt know how anything could top it.
I was literally paralyzed from pain. I was not able to move. I was not able to cry. I was not able to think. I didnβt know pain could be like that.

I experienced severe abdominal pain, 10/10, in March 2019. In May 2019, after several tests (CT scans, MRI, fine needle biopsy, etc.), I was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma (a rare form of cancer). I had surgery in July 2019, and I am okay for now.

@SomeMichGuy I spent nine days in the hospital, and it took me almost four months to recover. Over $300K in medical expenses, all paid for by insurance. For example: My hospital room was $2, 227 per day.
SomeMichGuy Β· M
@Byron8by7 Wow...
Byron8by7 Β· M
@SomeMichGuy Indeed. I received IV Ibuprofen for pain - $200 per dose, four times a day, $800 total. As I recovered, a nursing assistant would take me for a walk in the hallway for exercise, $150 each time.

@Starcrossed Well sure,they are for managing pain. I've just heard too many AA stories begin with...well,the doc prescribed these pills...
I told my doc when I met her that I was a drug addict and wouldn't be playing any med seeking mind games-"but my mom gave me a bottle of Tramoldol,non opiate pain relief,they really work great-no high and my back pain goes away for 12 hours if I take two,you can top me up on those" She was stunned.'Those are heavy duty meds we give to cancer patients! I will give you 6,for emergencies.'
"Pain is your body giving you a message." (Yeah,like-work and aging sucks!)
I miss those things,they gave me superpowers.

Weirdly, I was mowing grass and the push mower kicked up a pointed rock that imbedded itself in my lower leg, all the way against the tibia bone.
Imagine stubbing your toe with a nuclear warhead.
It bled and all that, but I nearly fainted from the pain - and it lasted for nearly an hour.
The doctor told me such missiles fired from a lawn mower are traveling 250 mph.
Blessedly, eventually it stopped.

When I was about 18 I would get severe abdominal pains and end up in the hospital barely conscious. The doctors could not figure out what was causing the pain because they would press into my abdomen looking for abnormalities and the pain would disappear. A few months later I would be back. Eventually one doctor figured out it was appendicitis that didn't present itself like appendicitis. They took my appendix out and I have been pain free ever since.
Zaphod42 Β· 51-55, M
When my eye started falling apart and stopped producing enough fluid to hold its shape. Nine months of pain like a hot knife twisting in it all day every day before the doctor stopped trying to save it and just decided to remove it.
By comparison, passing a twelve millimeter kidney stone is a distant second on my pain index.

There's a kind of pain, an internal sensation, when someone goes in with a scope, needle or other implements, as with deep joint issues. If awake and only locally anesthetized, this pain/sensation leads to an immediate urge to vomit it's so overwhelming. Full body cell involvement. If I don't feel it again, it will be too soon.

Literally, sharp pain in my chest when I experienced a heartbreak. No kidding. It felt as if I was having a heart attack. It lasted till the next day. I am healthy and I was in my late 20s so I'm not even sure why it happened.
Lilymoon Β· F
@SW-User Wow.... that's something for the textbooks.

SW-User
@Lilymoon I know one person who experienced the same and turned out she had pericarditis that was triggered by her heartbreak. I never went to the ER so I wouldn't know. It is mind boggling but I think a "heartbreak" is called so for a reason. People may take that lightly and think I'm dramatic but it really was the worst physical and emotional pain I experienced in my life.
Lilymoon Β· F
@SW-User Yup I believe that.... sorry you went thru that.

@SomeMichGuy That's not even the worst of it. Consider yourself warned to read further...
Due to one doctor's mess - a few days after the incident, there were blisters forming like mountains and I went to a different doctor for a second opinion. He said he needed to react quickly to prevent infection & amputation, and so he needed to remove the outer later... no anesthetic... no drugs... just snip with a scissor and yank off with a tweezer. The skin snapped at every pore and sounded like cloth being ripped apart.

When this doctor I could kill, told me it would be fine and there would be very very little pain if any, when he pulled the tube from my kidneys without any anesthetic. I had been operated on for kidney stones. If you ever have these, make sure no matter what they do, that they put you under. ALL the way under! The broken arm and shattered shoulder replacement surgery I had two years earlier, was easier than THAT! The second worst pain would definitely be childbirth. They say you forget, but no. Not that kind of pain. Not for me, anyway.

@Lilymoon Oh he sure was. Different race and he hated me, it was clear. And I'm not prejudiced. When I first met him I love him to death. I thought he was so sweet when he smiled and then everything turned haha I think he got mad because he was in a hurry that day and he wanted to leave that other Stone in and it was a big one and I said no I want it taken out. And I said it sweetly

I've experienced very painful intestinal cramping that made me feel like I was going to pass out. I've also experienced intense pain from a UTI. More externally I once fell off my bike and the gear jammed into my leg. π
BlueVeins Β· 22-25
Hard to say, honestly, just bc I've never had that bad of pain all at once. Double ear infection was pretty bad until I learned just how effective ibuprophen is for the job. Unrelatedly, I ran into the ground once on a back road, slammed right into it face-first. At the time, I couldn't breathe and I assumed I'd broken a rib & punctured my lung with it. But as you can guess by the fact that I'm still here, that wasn't the case; I had actually just bruised the shit out of my torso muscles and winded myself lol.
It ached badly for a few months and my parents didn't believe me at first, but it was a more tolerable type of pain where it would partially subside if you just laid down and did nothing.

tough one
maybe having the headmaster at my primary school trying to pull out a 'stone' out of my forearm after i had broken it at lunchtime
and it was the bone he was pulling
i had a double compound fracture
and the other is when i cut my finger off and the doctors were touching exposed nerve endings to see which were live and which were damaged
that was pretty painful

its hard to really decide but I think when I was admitted into hospital as a teen when it was thought a aneurysm burst in my brain. Felt like my brain was swelling so much that it was pressing so hard against my skull that the skull itself was cracking.
Luckily it never burst though and I never really got many answers on it or maybe i did but was so doped up on morphine I didnt even let it register
