What is the worse pain you've experienced

[OwlHoot]

At a fair when I was about five a donkey stood on my foot. I howled blue murder, and thumped the stupid great thing repeatedly; but it didn't appear to notice and just stood there for some time before deciding to amble off.

Thinking back, how the hell did I manage to get in that situation, i.e. close enough, considering their large barrel shaped bodies compared with a pint sized five year old? (I was to the side of it luckily, or it might have kicked me into touch when I started thumping it!)

Never been in much pain since, besides the odd hangover, or broken any bones touch wood.

Right so who apart from the OP voted for me.....

I went with "paper cut" as there was no kidney stones option.

Now that did hurt

It was not when I told MrsBP I was sleeping with her sister.

It was when I woke up in hospital about a week later.

Bad paper cut was it?

I think you know I didn't mean that !

I didn't know churchy was your sister-in-law.

Giving birth did smart a bit.

I've fainted with pain twice - once when I banged my funny bone on the kitchen door handle, and once when I trapped a nerve in my neck.

Mine was when I was on the Nostromo and an alien burst out of my stomach and ran across the room.

I didn't remember eating that.

Exploding eyeball syndrome when descending for landing in planes. Happens now and then - must have dodgy sinuses.

Most intense pain ever - and i've had a u-bend in my arm, managed to rip my tibial spine out (attached to my anterior cruciate ligament), broken nose (i think this is the cause) etc - not that they are bad compare to lots of things, but bad for sitting on an aeroplane. Luckily it's so localised in a pinpoint (like someone sticking a knitting needle through your eyeball) and only lasts 20 minutes tops that it's tolerable. normally have a headache for a day or 2 after.

Apart from that I was once forced to leopard crawl about half a mile through gorse bush with no trousers on. Wasn't an intense pain, but the hurt to my pride added some.
