What's the worst pain you have experienced?

And how did you go through?

In my case it has nothing to do with BDSM, even if I had many hard punishment, including cane, paddle and even horse whip!

I had kidney stones some time ago. I remember them terrible bat somehow I managed to bear them.

What I remember as the most painful experience i my life was that time when I stubbed my toes against a hdden stone, walking bare feet on the beach.
I broke three of them plus some small bones of my foot.

The pain was so excruciating, unexpected and sudden that, in spite of my efforts, I couldn't hold back the tears. I really hate to be seen crying by other people, and I had always managed in the past to face dignifiedly the pain, but THAT pain was simply too much and after a while I found myself bitterly crying in front of people who were 20 years yourger then me!

This is the most painful event of my life.
What's yours?

Personally I am not a physical pain slut but in comparision the worst pain has always been emotional pain.

I would take any level of physical pain instead of having an emotional hurt.

If you're talking physical pain it's a toss up. I've had three cesarians. They hurt pretty bad. But frankly I'll take a cesarian over a crohns attack any day. For one thing cesarian pain only lasts about a week, and you get a baby for it. Crohns pain can be for months and you don't get anything out of it.

Where do I start? In S/m play, I learned very quickly that clothes pins between my toes are the absolute most agonizing thing I have experienced so far. It sounds so silly, but OMG it was excruciating for me.

It was fairly early on in my online experience with my Mistress. She instructed me to place them on my feet. That hurt a lot. Then She had me walk to my closet and get a pair of my heels. I thought, what in the world and I going to do with this... the walking jumped the pain up another 100 %. I waited for her instructions and she told me to whack them off my feet. The first whack made me see stars. I hit them so hard after that and so fast I just wanted it over with. I quickly discovered this is an almost safeword zone for me. I learned from this later to use my safe word as I don't like to use it ever, but she went to have me pin my toes again and I started himming and hawing around that it pissed her off and she stopped the scene.

I finally told her how bad it was for me. She now only pins my toes when I have been disobedient. It's the next closest bad thing to banishment for me.

Now, the worst pain I have ever felt is linked to my feet. I was in a deadly car accident in 2000 and my right foot was basically almost removed, I had a compound fracture about 2 inches above my ankle. I never lost consciousness (dear god why) and I felt everything. I'll never forget them saying "We're going to straighten your leg", I screamed NOOOOOOOOO and I am sure everyone heard me as they moved my foot. I had no idea it was so bad and even asked them to set my leg and help me rent a car so I could get up to Atlanta. Ok, yes huge rabbit trail. It took 3 surgeries, 4 months in a wheel chair, 3 falls on my let in an external fixator and 2 years on crutches and rehab.

I am to this day very sensitive about anything to do with my right leg or feet.Now I can also say childbirth is no walk in the park as I have 4 children all natural, but the pain wasn't as bad as my leg. I have heard kidney stones are just about one of the worst things you can experience.

The worst emotional pain came at the break up of my last relationship. I never want to go through that again.

I am curious about figging, and would like to check it out sometime. I've read up on it, but have not tried it. I'd love to hear personal account of anyone who has done it.

Today i had three teeth fixed because i grind them at night due to a medication.

He didn't freeze the first one enough.

My thought process:" Hmm, that kind of tingles in a bad way. I don't remember it doing that befor-OH DEAR GOD THAT'S THE NERVE"

Luckily he's new, and observant, so he stopped right away. Even after he refroze it i could still feel it a little but i just told him to go ahead and i'd tell him if i couldn't bear it.

That, and the shots i had in the roof of my mouth when i was a kid and having orthodontic surgery under a local, are the first things that come to mind, but i am feeling quite sluggish. And i'm still drooling.

I split my pelvis giving birth to my second son. I had been suffering with the bones separating throughout my third trimester, but I have never felt anything as painful as the actual separation during the delivery. 11 knee operations (including having all the bones in my legs realligned) and an ankle reconstruction didn't even compare to the pain of that.

Holy sheep dip.... I was going to post about breaking both bones in my left leg about 4 inches above the ankle while I was skiing (got airborne and the back of the ski caught while I was rotating in the air... the leg literally twisted 180 degrees around before the boot catch released...). But then I got taken down to the first aid station and the Ski Patrol insisted on taking the boot off. 7 Ski Patrols were holding and supporting my leg and foot and when they pulled it off I heard a pop and damn near passed out.

I'm not sure which hurt worse, breaking the leg or or taking the boot off. Which actually set the break and set it well. My orthopaedist was quite happy with how they set it. Wrapped my leg in fiberglass and put me on crutches, slapped me on the ass and said "Keep it elevated, see me in a week. Here's something for the pain..." Seven months later the cast came off. That happened in 1995. Ten years later there is STILL a discolored patch of skin on my ankle where I got a blood blister under the cast, and I imagine that it will always be there now...

Not quite what you went through brat *knocks his desk top three times...*
But that's my "most painful moment"

YIK,

I had a friend who's 15 year old daughter fell off her scooter on her way to chearleader practice. She thought she'd just sprained her wrist, so she went ahead and went to cheerleader practice. She went through all their excercises, including pushups. That evening her wrist was still swelling so her mom took her into the ER. Not only was it broke, but she'd made the break MUCH worse by using her wrist. It took them two days to get in to see the orthopedist and he had to rebreak her wrist to set it right.

While I usually have a pretty high tolerancy for pain, I'm suffering through broken ribs right now. In the past I have broken toes, arms, fingers and legs, but I have to say by far the ribs have hurt the most.

Still wouldn't trade it in for the pain my sister endured after a gas can and backfired engine lit her stomache on fire, though.

I've had my toe cut by an axe - the endorphins kicked in wayyyyy too early for it to hurt all that much.

I've knocked my scalp to split - that hurt quite a bit. Had to get stitches in the axe incident and the two scalp-splitting incidents.

I'm gonna go with the first scalp splitting when I was four years old.

I think you need some new hobbies, Xelebes.

I've never sprained or broke anything (including fingers and toes). I've never had stitches that weren't because of a surgery. (As in from an accident.) And until last year I'd never strained anything. On the other hand, I pulled a muscle in my back for the first time when I was six and have pulled a muscle in it at least once a year since.

Dunno, as pain for me translates in different ways at different times. I guess probably one of the worst one offs would have been when I was thrown from a horse at about 5 and on the way down ripping my scalp on a protruding nail from the nearby fence, then landing on an axe on a concrete slab and splitting my head open...which doctors also think resulted in my lifetime eyesight defficiency. I remember the long drive to civilisation was not pretty for me or my sister who was instructed to cradle my broken head which was bleeding all over her (and she hates blood), and the pain of being stitched without any anesthetic due to the length of time it took to get me there.

Next worse in that line of things was when I broke my kneecap at a motorcycle rally, wandering around in the dark trying to find a drunken husband who never did appear until next morning when he woke up in a gully somewhere.....he decided the huge swelling was due to bruising only so we rode back home (about 2000km) with my leg out the side of the motorcycle the whole way, then I went back to work for 6 weeks before finally going to a doctor to see why nothing was improving.

Breaking my tailbone soon after arriving in The Netherlands (damn Dutch stairs) has not been a walk in the park either. I had to drive 14 hours that same day and for many weeks afterward.....the pain still comes and goes over 2 years later.

I do think though, despite all those accidents being painful, the one which gets me the worst is arthritic pain. It can drive me to throwing up at times just from the pain itself, and it just goes on and on for what seems eternity at times.

Infected molar.

I swear to God, when that particular dental pain ratchets badly enough I want to put my head under a truck.

Lacerations, Crohn's, even the unbelievable attack of joint pain I had going off steroids, nothing really hurts the way THAT hurts.

God I'm glad I'm young. I've never had children (and never will.... I'm going to adopt someday), never had any broken bones, etc. I think there's a tie for the worst pain that I can remember, though. About seven months ago I had a huuuuge canker sore right on the end of my tongue, so it rubbed against my teeth every time I swallowed or anything, and I couldn't eat or sleep without crying first. I made the mistake of thinking that Orajel (sp?) would work, because it says for canker sore relief, but it made it sting and swell up like crazy. So I ended up at the hospital for five hours, got this really disgusting-tasting stuff to put on the sore, and it still took another week to get it healed enough that I wasn't crying every day because of the pain.
The second..... The first time I slit my wrist with a razor blade. It was my first suicide attempt, and I had no idea what I was doing so I didn't take any precautions to make it more bearable (which I did for the other attempts). I knew from cutting with the razor before that it would hurt a lot worse then my other self-harm methods, but I was totally unprepared for the sting.... It wasn't like a regular pain, it felt like a stinging/burning, like someone was burning my skin off and cutting into me at the same time. That reallllly hurt!

I agree with that.

Worst pain ever was dry socket after getting my wisdom teeth pulled. I ended up taking 20 vicodin a day for days on end because it was over the christmas holiday and i couldn't get into the dentist. Then I couldn't open my mouth more than an inch for three weeks because my jaw froze because I was in too much pain to use it.

I remember blood... lots of it... just pouring out of my mouth - after I got mine pulled.

My friend/sub's suicide.

Dry socket is awful. Been there, done that.
Earache nearly drove me insane once.
Broken ribs werent too bad-I drove halfway across the country with mine.(Fairwell party, PFO incident).
Broken coccyx was pretty rough. (PFO again)
Migraine is my worst physical sufferring.
Emotive/empathic pain is by far the worst.
In a bdsm context.I'm a painslut. Its all good.

I've been lucky, never broken a bone or been seriously ill. I suppose the worst pain for me was natural childbirth with my second child - silly me decided after the first was born using forceps after an epidural that she was going to go the natural way Though I did manage to do it with just the gas and air (that stuff is goooood

Master is in pain 24/7 with arthritis throughout His body. He never complains. He gets very bad leg cramps from dialysis. Severe headaches. Right now He's going through the 4th bout of peritonitis since April. He doesn't take painkillers, they upset His stomach. If He has to go to hospital He needs morphine for the terrible back pain He gets from the beds. The only thing He uses at home is pot - it helps with the pain and insomnia, plus we have lots of giggles when He's stoned

Yep, those are some things to think about. To this day I detest dentists as I had to take a lot of antibiotics as a kid and it weakened my enamel. All my baby molars got root canals. Tooth pain is awful. The empathic pain is awful, and just seeing the one regarding her friends subs suicide hit me hard. I hope I never have to deal with that kind of pain. There is just nothing like the bond of a PYL and their pyl.

OUCH!! All these stories are painful to read. So I will share mine!


12 hours of hard labor, no epidural and the last time I ever let a baby get in my body!

I once broke the same toe twice within two months. That sucked!

Having a wisdom tooth removed where the novocaine didn't seem to work even after he shot it 5 times in my mouth. Cried like a baby that day.

I also agree that nothing hurts like emotional pain. Watching my sister give birth to a still born baby and then holding that perfect looking little girl was one of the hardest things I have gone through.

OH, and the most painful sub thing I have had to do so far is rub ice all over me, insert a cucumber and then get in a cold running shower. I don't much like being cold!
