Worst Pain you have Ever been through???

I fear the day my knee pain returns (it will :( ).. I remember crying for hours & hours & hours. Squirming all about in horrible pain, taking all kinds of meds, x-ray after x-ray, dr. after dr., day after day, year after year of horrid pain :(

Atleast with child birth its over in a few or many hours, but not days, months or years :(

It was quite annoying aswell, as I would be fine & playing with my friends or the dog & then BAM! I was on the ground screaming & balling my eyes out. The shortest time I had it for was about a day long. The worst was WEEKS long!

I was lucky to have Max back then. He was the best drug that I was given. I don't know why he let me hurt him like I did, hugging him WAY too tight, grabbing him or spasm & hit him really hard. I never ment to hurt him ever, I didn't know what I was doing 1/2 the time I was in so much pain. Max never left my side during one of my fits. The poor thing nearly cried as much as I did, but still refused to leave my side (dad tried & he fought to come back to me). Thats why I was sooooooo attached to Max.. I miss him dearly!

The greatest pain for me honestly is probably watching my husband suffer with a progressive degenerative disease that will never improve and will slowly steal his life. I can honestly that that childbirth and everything else pales compared to watching that happen. I've had kids without epidurals, I've broken bones, I've had a tooth pulled with no novocaine, but none of that truly hurts compared to living with the pain of each day and watching your spouse deteriorate. It's not something I usually speak of, but for me that would have to be it.

Sorry about that Vela I wasn't aware of what you are going through with your husband, that must be very hard.

After my mastectomy in 1998. There were complications. I will NEVER forget the excruciating pain.

A migraine I had recently. Well, any migraine, but the most recent one stands out in my mind because I was on the floor clutching my head and crying uncontrollably because I thought I was going to throw up/pass out.

Emotional...finding out that someone I had loved and trusted for several years had sabotaged our birth control to manipulate me.

ah, well i havent really been in any serious serious pain. but i've had really really really bad splints at times.

Endometriosis attacks and passing out were no fun. Neck surgury was bearable but back surgery was a real eye opener. But for me, the worst pain is emotional. Losing my parents and Cody was the worst pain ever. Physical pain eventually subsides, but emotional pain stays for a long long time.

Emotional pains are worse than physical, for me, but, my worst physical pain would have to be. . .. . walking on a broken ankle for a year, and not knowing it was broken, every step hurt, but all the doctors said it would heal on its own, and that it wasnt broken, but, it was, after I went to another doctor, and they did surgery, and shaved off bones that were rubbing together, and the ones that were all jagged from the bone that was missing :o. That was probably one of the worst things. . .

Wisdom teeth! I had all 4 pulled at once and it didn't show in the x-ray, but one of the roots was wrapped around the jaw bone and when they pulled it, it broke a small piece of my jaw. I was in such pain for a week and black and blue from my neck to my eye.

This is a toss up between when I blew my knee out playing softball and had to have it drained twice with a needle that looks like it could have been used for a HORSE! :eek:
Or.... when I had a spinal tap and instead of only taking 15 minuets and having a needle pierce my spine 2 or 3 times it took and hour and 15 minuets and I was jabbed in my spine 14 times!!! Then I was on my back for a week with a spinal headache.
Yeah, now that I think about it....the spinal tap was MUCH worse!!!!!! :(

pitc9, furrykidsmother, k9karen, toby's my baby: Oh my such pain!. . . :eek: :(

The worst emotional pain that I have gone through was when I had depression not too long ago.

Is it really that bad? You're scaring me away from having children when I'm older! I can't stand pain at all and will do whatever I can to stay away from it.

I've had a lot of physical & mental hurts that I can not even post here.
But for ones I can post here I have it tied between 3 different hurts, they all hurt REALLY bad.

My eptopic pregnancy, pre-surgery (only the day or two right before the surgery hurt realy bad) & post-surgery (the first week or so I was home which was actually 1.5 weeks after the surgery, I didn't have the morphine drip anymore lol). I did die during surgery, they revived me thank god.

A Kidney infection. Yes it hurt that bad, I was misdiagnised for weeks & weeks before I was admitted to the hospital where I had to stay for almost a week because it was so bad. They said a couple/few more days & I would probably wouldn't of made it.

My broken hand bones & tendons/ligaments, granted this one only hurt REALLY bad for about 4 or so hours until it was set all back in place but when it was first broken boy oh boy did it really hurt. It still hurt for a couple/few weeks afterwards but not nearly as bad as it did at first, not even close.



Boy some of yous really should count your blessings. Actually we all should we have some real lucky folks on PT! :D
Glad that each one of us is here to tell our stories! HUGS to us all! :D

Everyone's pain thresholds are different. What is excruciating to me may be little more than cramps to you, so don't be scared off. Even if you are in a lot of pain, get the epidural! It felt like a little bee sting and after I got it, I felt so much better (read: couldn't feel ANY contraction, my husband had to tell me when I was having them by looking at the monitor), I took a nap!! I'll have another child, two if finances allow, I'll just be asking for the epidural as soon as I can get it.

All childbirth situations are different also, I had unproductive back labor that was horrible, that doesn't happen to everybody, and frankly that was easier than dealing with a teen :rolleyes:

The worst physical pain I had was when my kneecaps dislocated. The pain was awful, and it happened to me sooo many times in both knees....

Fortunately, I had my left knee surgery in december, and I'll have the right knee in July, so it won't happen anymore....

About emotional pains... It's better and healthier not to remember them, I don't want to feel depressed....

Hi, Natali, join the "pain in the knee" club! I know exactly what you've going through! Right now my left knee is doing great. I can do just about everything now!

Childbirth! :eek:

Followed by breaking my knee ... twice.

Followed by having a root canal without anesthethic. (I'm resistant to anesthethic.)

My migraines...which always results in me blacking out & having to be rushed to the Emergency Room. Aside from that it would have to be when I got kicked full force by a horse on the shin bone. I have a permanent bump on my shin from that.
