What is the worse pain you've experienced

[vwdan]

An unknown (and never diagnosed) bout of what the A&E staff called "Severe Abdominal Pain". It hurt so much that there were moments were I thought it had stopped, but apparently your brain does that to you. The Morphine did nothing, but eventually they put me to sleep with something and I woke up fine. 2 days of observations later and they sent me on my merry way

I've had curries like that.

Mate of mine had that. The NHS callcentre service told him to take a laxative. Turned out he had a perforated bowel and nearly died.

possibly an ear infection, followed by a wasp sting on finger tip

Having my 2 broken arms manipulated in the X-Ray room after a motorbike accident, in 2005.

Margaret the X-Ray nurse really didn't seem to care and I was nearly on the ceiling.

Acute pancreatitis. Literally doubled-up in pain to the point I couldn't walk.

Insertion of the nasogastric tube used to empty my stomach was no fun either.

No stubbed toe option?

I had this a couple of years ago, put me in hospital for the first time. It is the worst pain I've known by some margin.

I have another one!

When I was trying to break into contracting I had an interview with a large investment bank. Got through the phone interview, team leader interview, technical interview and then the final interview with the department manager. He was slack jawed, awkward, seemed to say 'hmmmm' for almost 50% of the time he was talking and was as sharp as a razor with deep technical knowledge about C++, banking, telecoms and Viking history.

Everything was positive. Spoke to the team leader (he gave me his number so we could make sure the agent was playing straight) and he said that, subject to the HR paperwork, I was in. First contract at £650 a day for 6 months. I was very happy.

Then someone else contacted the department manager who had just come away from doing the same job for a different bank so I got dropped.

That was painful.
