IMO the worst feeling is when your finger goes through the toilet paper and you end up going up your own poopy ass. 😖

A kidney biopsy tool, except the person who’s supposed to get the sample keeps missing and the local anesthetic (lidocaine) is wearing off
The scars still emit pain, and the biopsy sites (I got stabbed with that thing 5 times) hurt more than the actual transplant surgery site itself.
Other than that, cancer if the tumors grow in the right spot.
As someone else said, gout. Definitely gout. In particular, severe gout caused by dehydration from food poisoning.
A 14 gauge needle being stuck all the way through and past your fistula for dialysis. Here’s size comparisons:
Note: 14 is 2 sizes bigger than 16.
For non painful things, I’d say a bone biopsy ( this is assuming they gave you the good stuff for pain ). There’s something that feels very wrong of feeling your bones being punctured, scraped from the inside, and popped like a champagne bottle.
Squishing a big roach with your barefoot when you didn’t know one was hiding in your shoe.
Getting food poisoning from shellfish specifically.
Walking through flood waters, seeing a water moccasin, but not knowing where it is or went.
Thalassophobia.
A broken wisdom tooth rubbing against a nerve - would not recommend.
Giving birth.
2 AM, you desperately run to the bathroom just in time for a heinous crap.
You finish up, go back to bed, roll over on your side and hear/feel your gut go:
“Whuuuurrroooggglllleeee.”
GOD-DAMN IT!
Butt wait, there’s more!
Chewing on styrofoam
Kidney stone by far.
In the ER, 2 doses of Morphine had exactly 0% relief. I got Ketamine next and finally got relief.
I did get gout once. I can only describe it as walking on shards of glass while on fire. It was a tolerable pain while not walking, but it was excruciating while on my feet.
Gout is bad. Every step you take, when you put your foot down and put pressure on it, it feels like you just broke a bone. Then, when you lift your foot again, it feels like it breaks again. Repeat for every step. You have to sleep with your foot sticking out because the weight of a thin sheet is too painful.
A few years ago I slipped on the ice and hit my elbow. I got up and drove to work. After I got there, it was still a little sore. I work in a hospital, so I went and got an X-ray. Turns out I fractured my arm. My wife and my doctor both wanted to know how I managed to drive to work with a broken arm. It just didn’t seem all that bad. It hurt at the moment, but then it was just a bit sore.
Skull decompression. I had to have a cage or something like that screwed to my skull for a gamma knife operation to kill a brain tumour. I had to keep my head completely still for over an hour, so they screwed the cage to my skull, and then to the table itself. The skull gets a bit compressed and I really felt the pressure, but it didn’t hurt that much and I got used to it pretty fast. The worst part is when they take it off and your skull decompresses. Worse than a migraine.
You win. 😱
Let’s just pack our stuff up. I, too, know when I’ve seen a winner.
The urologist feeding this 8mm camera tube through my penis for a bladder endoscopy and taking his time to explore all the nooks and crannies was slightly uncomfortable.
r/sounding is disappointed in you. Embrace the feeling! :D
Mate that camera is at least anatomically compatible and smooth on the sides.
Try getting a scrub down your peehole in search of any type of pus and pray they find something quickly lest they search deeper.
And don’t ask me how I know.
Do they fill it full if water like they do for the kidney scan? That was super uncomfortable, but kind of cool to see on the monitor…
I can’t remember if it was the exact same procedure, but I’ve had something very similar when I had a bladder biopsy done, but I’m going to beat you on making someone else uncomfortable :D
For anyone who doesn’t know, these procedures start with an anaesthetic gel being squirted into your penis through a syringe to numb everything, then the camera and tools get inserted. It’s been a while, but from what I remember, some air gets pushed in along with everything else. The nurse warned me that the air coming out can be uncomfortable. I also had to have a pretty full bladder for the procedure.
Afterwards, I needed to pee straight away, so used the toilet next to the waiting room. When I went, it burned a bit from the gel wearing off and everything just generally being tender. Suddenly though, I had this feeling of intense pressure, and a fireball forced its way out followed by some boiling pee. I used my free hand to steady myself, and my knees almost buckled. I let out an involuntary ‘Jesus Christ!’. I finished and cleaned up, and the nurse met me outside the door.
She had a huge grin on her face, and said ‘I told you it would sting’, then nodded towards the waiting room, where about half a dozen terrified looking men had apparently heard me :D
No thanks, I’m not reading this
Ok you’ve got the price
Once watched a dad drop his newborn by accident and he did the thing where he fumbled for it and yanked the leg out of the socket
God damn…
Worst pain in my life physically was appendicitis. It set a new high bar.
Mentally? Hurts too much to talk about.
pancreatitis. It felt like someone stabbing me in the side with a dull knife made of burning glass.
Probably pancreatic cancer.
I don’t have it but I’m going to say Parkinson’s.
I got put on some medication a number of years ago and one of the common side effects was tremors that “can affect the hands and arms and may also involve the lower limbs, tongue, or voice”.
I’m not much of a crier but it got to a point where I was shaking so bad I had a hard time feeding myself and I broke down over it. I cannot even begin to imagine having to live with that forever. I barely managed a month.
I can attest from experience with a parent who eventually died of Parkinson’s disease. (The usual cause is finally choking on food.)
It steadily erases one’s ability to project their humanity. Even more cruelly, it gives occasional respite so you can’t forget there is a complete person suffering in that quivering shell.
In summary, fuck Parkinson’s and all other neurodegenerative diseases.
Amputation pain is right up there, followed closely in the long term by phantom pain.
Then nausea.
Then tinnitus.A large part of why they’re the worst for me is that you can’t do anything about them.
My dad lost his arm in the late 90s in a work related accident. He described it as painful but was surprised at how it didn’t feel worse right there and then. Probably due to shock.
He was working alone in the middle of the night with his tractor when it happened, so he picked up what remains of his left arm he could find into a bucket and drove to the local nursery home because he knew there were people awake there 24/7. I guess that’s one definition of grace under pressure.
Upon arrival he got the emergency help he needed there and then and a while later he told us that while waiting for the medevac helicopter to be summoned, he was annoyed again about the pain, thinking “Isn’t this where I’m supposed to faint?”.
Later he had the occasional phantom pain. He didn’t struggle with it that much, and it usually passed after a few moments, but he told me that the worst parts was when he had an itch, or a finger was Ina weird position, he could do nothing about it since the limb simply wasn’t there anymore.
His arm was severed by a tractor-operated snowblower right below the elbow.
Fun fact: When the thaw of spring arrived he was happy to learn that someone had found his wristwatch in the retreating ice. Still working just fine. A little later someone found a wedding ring and correctly guessed that it belonged to the guy who got maimed there a few months earlier.
the worst parts was when he had an itch,
Yeah. I don’t struggle with the pain so much: I have it, but it’s mostly like electric shocks, and somehow it feels like a TENS machine. So as long as it’s not too intense or too long, I’m okay.
But I really struggle with itching.
I just lumped itching with phantom pain because it’s easier to explain to people who don’t know.
Bullet Ant bite. People have killed themself to make it stop. It locks your pain receptors to the on position and doesn’t allow them to turn off.
