Worst pain in the world?

[Big_Dog]

This smarted a bit when 6 medical persons, 3 at each end were pulling it back to length. They were not aware my hip was broken too. Shout ing hurt the broken ribs almost as much as my leg.


ETA right femur.

Cluster headache. They are nicknamed 'Suicide headaches', no prizes for guessing why. It ain't nothing like a migraine. It's been a long time since I've had one, thank god. Want to get an idea of how painful it is, check it out

Perosnally I couldn't move when I had an attack, any attempt to go anywhere resulted in vomitting. Spent most of the time screaming.

I too suffer wih Cluster Headache, had them since i was 16. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.

I get them too, or at least I used to. I take Nortriptyline for them now and it works very well.

The best desription I can give of how it feels is if you imagine someone pushing a skewer into your brain through your temple and wriggling it about.

The first time I read about these was the only time I've gotten genuinely fearful about something ive never had but could possibly get some day!

Terrifies me to think about them!

After having an op under general anaesthetic to remove a large cancerous bladder tumour, I returned after a few check ups to find it had returned. I was given the option of having it done under another general or going for it there and then. I went for it there and then.

I had a transurethral resection of bladder cancer (TURBT) with the fulguration done without anaesthetic. I had a local gel at the "entry point" to allow the camera and errmm.. "devices" into my urethra and that was it.

It was like having a tattoo/soldering iron inside my bladder doing their worst.

It smarted. A lot.

I suspect so. "How do you spot the biker at a party? They are the one with a limp."

Jeez that looks bad - how did it happen? (Edit - I see now, a spill off a bike).

And am I wrong in thinking that breaking your thighbone often ends in death due to shock/damage to nearby arteries etc?

Very glad to see you are still with us!

Sharp pieces of bone slicing your femoral artery. Bleed out in minutes unless help is there

Not quite as painful as the hockey ball I received to the face on Saturday.....!

I think i'd rather take one to the face than the thigh on a cold day, talk about stinging pain.Talking of cold days how about when you'd take a flick to the ear on a cold day?

The massive anti-inflamatory injection I had in A&E on Saturday night.
It felt like someone had shot a lava covered viper into my arse from a high velocity rifle.

Very rare to injure the arteries of the thigh with a femoral fracture.

I've seen it once, but the thing that smashed the bone was the shotgun blast which also took out the artery!!

[croakey]

Pilonidal sinus TWICE

Ouch

[Ade07]

Osteo mylitis

[Hackney]

Compared to some on here it seems pretty minor but hacking the top of my finger off with a bike chain / cog smarted a bit.

It was just that the above had gone into quite a few pieces!

either a perforated ulcer with associated referred pains or snapping my banjo string, the first i left for 5 hours thinking it was bad heartburn, only when i couldn't walk did i call an ambulance, BP of 50/30 meant i was in resus and eventually had ~12 units of blood to keep me alive, the second i thought i was going to exsanguinate with the amount of blood and the recurring pain went on for weeks.
