in the vein of the 'most favourite' threads we've got, what is peoples most painful moment - when and how have you been in the most pain in your life ever?
i bet some of them are actually really funny.
mine's pretty boring - my ear drum burst about 3 years ago while watching a rugby game in our flat. it came on so suddenly and with such incredible pain that it nearly cause me to faint. unfortunately the pain only got progressively worse over the next 4 hours...after this time with me nearly fainting about every 10 minutes or so my flatmates decided to take me to the doctor - once the game had finished obviously...
lots of drugs later i was feeling much better...relatively.
it lasted for a few days and i was totally deaf in that ear for about 4 months after before it suddenly cleared up at a Sleater-Kinney concert...great gig it was too.
next worst was when i crashed my KX125 motorcross bike when i was about 13. I did this awesome jump but i happened to land on the upslope of the next hill...it ended very badly.
Anyone?

Someone kicked me in my right calf whilst playing football and ripped it in half. Only did it 'cos he couldn't handle my amazing skill. On the plus side, my physio was extremely attractive. It took all my willpower to keep my erection at bay every time she touched my legs.

Ouch! Hahaha! I wouldn't laugh if it hurts you now, but you said that you have a wife, so..yeah, it's all good that I laugh about that, right?

Anymore I feel very detached from anything that happened before I met my wife.

Um, emotionally, I guess I'd go with what some may think of as being fairly tame.
Told my then-girlfriend (she had friggin' great taste in music) I loved her. She said she loved me, too. Told her I loved her more. She agreed.
Stung!

this isn't as severe as some of the others... especially having a baby :) I guess I would say it was falling down a steep and huge flight of stairs and hitting my head on the concrete after tripping in my high heels. |

oh i remembered, I buried a table knife about an inch and a half deep in the webbing between the thumb and finger, it just sort of stuck there, it didn't hurt till I pulled it out, those serated edges are bitches.

broke my arm, emergency doctor set it wrong, 3 days of unbelievable agony, went back to hospital and the second doctor was actually laughing that the first one set it like that.

Having something quite similar to that, except longer and a bit thinner, shoved several, several, inches into my nose. It has a very powerful suction, too. It was after a sinus surgery (polyps and the like) so it was to get out blood and scar-tissue and stuff. For whatever nostril it was in the corresponding eye always started to cry when he got to a certain point automatically. Gah, there are so many twists and turns and he couldn't navigate any of them. Not to mention that he had to scrape against every wall with the damn thing. GAH!
Either that or...hmm...The arthritis can be a real bitch. Oh, and all of the stomach/intestinal problems I've had are very painfull.
I'll skip the emotional part, haha.

Trance out mere?
I was 18 and in the hospital for already about 30 hours
(D was 38!)and without drugs and finally a nurse comes in and says Would you like some morphine? Yes please! And then as she's about to give me the needle she says, take a big breath this might sting. I told her to give me the needle and I'll do it myself!
Other than that, not much for pain. But of course the cracked tailbone from skating in the backyard after a couple wobbly pops... |

I was cutting a cd cover I made out with an Xacto and straight edge, left index finger and thumb on said straight edge. My left index was slighty over the edge in the cutting path and without realizing this I started to cut. A swift smooth pull on the knife as usual. Next thing you know I am missing a 1" long x 1/4" x 1/8"(thick) piece of my finger thright down to the flesh under the skin. No way to really reattach it (or pointin doing so) and it then took a very long time to stop bleeding with the anticoagulant foam the hostital used.
About two weeks later I went to a Misfits concert and it was whacked in the crowd. So much for avoiding the pit. That may have hurt worse then the cut itself.

Not doing the emotional pain (trying to not make this thread too depressing)
Physical pain - breaking my leg in 3 places when I was 12. Me and a couple of mates were spinning each other about trying to make each other dizzy. I fell over (being blessed with both poise and grace!) body going one way and leg going the other - imagine twisting a matchstick. What made it exceptionally painful was that I had to wait for my doctor to finish having dinner with my aunt and uncle at some fancy restaurant - a whole 3 hour wait because they didn't want to lose their reservation!
Afterwards my doctor reassuringly told me that the way I'd broken my leg is one of the most painful breaks you can have. Bastard. |

Too many emotional painful moments to recount, most of them in junior high. Fortunately, that was so long ago that it seems like those things happened to a different person. :-)
Having a 9-1/2 pound baby at home w/out drugs is hands-down the most painful thing I've ever experienced. It's on a completely different plane from any other kind of pain I could imagine, but thankfully, you kind of trance out after a while. She also broke my tailbone. Ow!

I can't think of a real physically painful moment. I have a big tattoo on my tailbone and I had a couple tattoo artists say that was the most painful place to get a tattoo, so? But that is a kind of pain I can deal with, in a weird way. Childbirth? We'll see.
Emotional pain is a long list. There was that time I saw the boy I was in love with kissing another girl and then after he walked over and rubbed my back like, "yeah, sorry." Yuck. And also that time one of my best friends and I made out and he then couldn't deal with it and we had some horrible heart breaking conversations where I just wanted to die.
Also, my kitten got run over, which was one of the saddest things to ever happen to me.
Man, this is a CHEERFUL thread, huh?

2 words: testicle torsion. I doubt there's anything more painful than that...

hmm, two
emotionally most painfull, I'd been living in oxford for a year with my first and so far only love I was 19 and I decided I had to go to university, he was really supportive and pushed me to go with it, but stated he wouldn't do a long distance relationship. I was moving to bangor, a city I knew no one in and had never even visited before. The day came for me to go, I woke up in his arms, waited for my dad to come to pick up my stuff (middle of the petrol strike, thank god we were all NHS workers) when he arrived my ex and I loaded up the car and had to say goodbye. I got into the car in floods of tears looked back in the mirror and saw him in floods of tears, my dad was crying, I had to let pops drive off and leave him behind. By far the most painfull moment of my life ever. ***reaches for a tissue***
Ok physically painfull, heh heh, my friend Jon and I met up for dinner when I came to look at the flat I'm now living in, it's a funky little italian place called 'little italy' and, bonus, you can bring your own drink in, one wonderfull meal and several delightfull bottles of red wine later we decide to walk it off in the private park and have a bit of a smoke down by the lake, the park is dark, the path is crap, I am pissed. I fell off the path down onto my ankle walking through, which I thought was hilarious and got back up and carried on, a bit limpy. (Should point out I have a sort of inverted femur which means I have one pigeon foot) A few steps later, bang, tre hits the floor again same ankle, fucking thing looked like it had snapped over, jon is pissing himself laughing, I'm laughing and crying my eyes out at the same time and neither of us can move for half an hour, after which poor jon has to nearly carry me to the main road, railroad one of his friends into picking me up and taking me to the hospital. His friend pulls up and it's a comedy drug dealer car moment, can't se in the window for all the smoke (which actualy turned out to be just cigarettes, how I laughed) I hadn't broken my ankle but I had to spend three weeks in bed because it resembled a small melon painted purple, it was really ugly
[edit] incidentely, in case you are wondering why wandering through a park at midnight is such a cool idea I'm posting the pic in the random thread, it's huge and would eat this thread alive
