Greatest physical pain you have ever felt...?

I was on my CR500 dirt bike ripping a wheelie through a nasty whoop section at Gorman. I was steering and balancing on the rear wheel.....worked fine until the read wheel landend on a loose rock and shifted the whole bike sideways. I pitched the bike and rolled up into a ball. My body slammed into the face of the next whoop...literally knocking the snot out of me.
I got up and yeah it hurt but thought I could shake it off after I got the wind back in my lungs. Then things really started to hurt. I took a deep breath and felt my ribs "clicking." Then my shoulder felt like I had a pinched mucsle...then it was "clicking." Bones done click.
I rode back to the truck and my riding buddy drove me an hour and half to a hospital. They freaked out!!!! I had internal bleeding, 5 busted ribs and a busted collarbone all on the same side. I was in absolute pain....until two shots of morphine. But it still hurt like a mother!! My riding gear saved my life....and I still ride.

Ahh ... along those lines.
When I had knee surgery, I had to have the would left open with a gauze "drain" in it - and it had to be changed daily. Nothing like reaching inside your knee with a pair of tweezers and pulling out a piece of gauze, then putting more back in. It wasn't extremely painful, because of the drugs, but it still felt wrong.
A year ago i was riding my bike (bmx) and i bailed mid air and i tucked and
rolled when i hit the ground, shortly after the bike slammed on the floor and
the peg landed right on my elbow, shattering it
after reconstructive surgery and 2 bolts i can stretch my arm 80%
worse part is 6 months after while everything still wasnt 100% fine,
i was putting up christmas lights and when i realized the ladder had fallen
i had to jump off and yet again i tucked and rolled and when i rolled i
slammed my arm, dislocating my shoulder

heh yeah I know what you mean there. The tube I had in mine got pulled on for the two days that i was in the hospital, then yanked (quite hard actually) out. It bled after that.
I'd love pics, if you're comfortable with it.
I was watching some show once, and a guy on a luge crashed into a hay bail an his foot literally snapped off. My dad looked like he was going to puke. When the guy was being put into the ambulance, he twitched that foot and scared the crap out of everyone.
Yeah, Ill have to PM them though, cause I'd likely be permbanned or told to post them on 4chan
Ill go take them to wallyworld and get them developed today hopefully Scars will have to suffice for now.OT: @Shake 'n' Bake: holy crap, that is awesome and bad at the same time. You mean it snapped off like snapped out of the socket or was like completely severed from the body?
Snap off as in being held on by about a 1in wide piece of skin.
I also saw something on Discovery Health once where a kid riding a bicycle got hit by a car and suffered internal decapitation -- that means your head is only being held on by your skin. The kid survived.
taking a leak after surgery to the nether regions... the only way I could go was to put an ice pack on my crotch to numb things up. Damn that sucked.
I was in a car accident in my late teen years. I was in the back seat and got mushed by the driver seat....broken two ribs and my arm. Thats the worst pain not even my motorcycle accident topped it or the Guinness bottle to the head.

Slipping while running near a pool when I was a kid and splitting my chin open and getting 6 stitches. Not a good day.
OMG I hope I never need to have a bone marrow transplant or anything similar. Just the thought of something drilling into my leg hurts like hell.

only if u have cancer, or leukemia. =(
I can outdo that one, hit a speed bump riding my bike at 6, split my chin all the way to the bone, had about 20 or more stitches.

yeah same here. And to think i almost donated bone marrow one time...
Worst I can recall - had an (adult) tooth pulled. Woke up next morning and pillow was soaked with blood. Immediately went back to dentist to have the hole stitched shut.
I consider myself fairly tolerant of pain, but even though I didn't (couldn't!) scream, I couldn't stop my body convulsing in pain on the chair. Think I really freaked out the nurse! Hate watching the Marathon Man ever since.
Distant seconds.. bad case of "road rash", ruptured appendix.

I'm going to reiterate how unpleasant a migraine is. I'm coming down off a pretty mild one now, and by mild I mean I spent an hour in the dark in the fetal position. I'd rather get stabbed in the leg. That's not just hyperbole. I've been stabbed in the leg.
Breaking my metacarpal of the index finger in 4 places and the pain after getting 3 wisdom teeth pulled.
sometimes the reaction to zomig is worse than the migraine.
the chest crushing cant get enough air, choking while head pounding, heart beat icepick in brain....
there really isnt an effective treatment for some people.
I end up in ER on fairly regular basis, its at the point where ER staff know me and greet me by name and ask 'head or something else'
and yeah a "mild" migraine means I know where I am and what day/time it is.
I end up in the ER with my migranes because they hurt so bad, and my blood pressure goes thru the room. Docs tried to give me oxycotin for it, told them im alergic, which i am. They tried a shot of demoral. I laughed at them after they said i should be inebriated. then i got a shot of morophine and fenergen (anti-nausea). Barely touched it, but made it so I could walk down the hall without holding my head.
I take Naproxen, which requires a prescription in Canada (as of my last refill). I've not had any serious or really even mild side effects, so I've been sticking with it. There's talk of making it available OTC, which would be fantastic.
Compared to Leareth or Nullx86, mine are pretty mild. I think I've only been to the ER over it once, although I've been to a clinic a number of times.
