IMO the worst feeling is when your finger goes through the toilet paper and you end up going up your own poopy ass. 😖
I’m struggling to top a burst appendix.
Migraine. I’ve broken bones, had unmedicated childbirth, nothing has ever hurt as much or as disgustingly as a migraine.
Other than that, any pain to do with fingernails or toenails sqiucks me out, I would cave under torture.
I had an air bubble in my brain and an orbital floor fracture (and I shattered my sphenoid) after a bike accident. when I moved, I could both hear and feel the trickle of air moving around in my own brain. it didn’t really hurt (or if it did I was in enough other pain not to notice) but it was one of the oddest sensations ever.
wear helmets y’all.
Back spasms and kidney stones.
anything hitting your shin
Why does pain hurt so much there, but it doesn’t also come with extra good sense of touch, like being tickled or rubbed? 😩
This thread is terrifying, I am leaving now.
You haven’t even gotten to the guy who drank a gallon of bone-hurting juice!
doot doot sadge
Oh you sweet summer child
As a teen my appendix ruptured and it took my mother another 4 days to realize I should see a doctor. Sometime around day 2 I was barely able to stand it was agonizing but I still remember it as not as bad as the pain of my eardrums popping from an ear infection a few years later. Ears are the worst IMHO
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.
Walking through flood waters, seeing a water moccasin, but not knowing where it is or went.
Oh man, I know this feeling kinda? Not a water moccasin, but a rattlesnake. When I was like 19 or 20, sometimes after high school but before most of my school friends moved away, we were having a big bon fire out in the country, but it was up in the foothills on private land (we were trespassing). The site the fire was at was on the other side of 3 big ass hills and my fat ass had to stop and take a breather at the top of the first one, but nobody else stopped with me and I got left alone for bit. When I finally was ready to move on after about 5-10 minutes, I took 2 steps forward and heard the rattle of a rattlesnake somewhere ahead of me. It was already after sundown at this point, middle of a hilly field about 2 miles from the nearest road, so it was dark as fuck and the hot new phone on the market was the original Motorola RAZR (for those too young to remember: these phones didn’t have flashlights and the screen light was dim as fuck).
I just slowly backed away and then tried to call for help but nobody could hear me yelling and I didn’t have service to call anyone on the phone. So I basically sat there, all fucking night, too afraid to move and constabtly scanning the ground around me as best I could to make sure no snakes were gonna bite me until the party was over and everyone came back my way.
And then my car wouldn’t fucking start when we finally got back to the road. One of the worst nights of my life. 😮💨
Man, you must really hate deep water for it to make this list.
It’s weird people don’t.
You literally can’t breathe in there, go to deep and you meet a terrible fate just going back up. And as if that wasn’t deadly enough, it’s filled with creatures that can kill you or look horrific but are harmless, or look derpy but are one of the smartest predators on the planet other than humans.
That said I’ve been diving and kayaking.
A broken wisdom tooth rubbing against a nerve - would not recommend.
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!
Giving birth.
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. 😱
I’d take this over most of the stuff the guy with kidney problems mentioned, absolutely no question.
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.
“Jesus Christ doc, stop fucking sightseeing and wrap it up!”
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.
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
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…
Ok you’ve got the price
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.
