Lifestyle Most physically painful thing you were ever put through?

once had a pretty bad fever but my parents didnt believe me and sent me to school anyways for like 3 days
nearly passed out on wednesday at the start of 2nd period and actually did pass out pretty much as soon as i got home
i guess my parents decided that it would be worth actually taking my temperature and it wound up reading nearly 110 so i spent the next 2 days+the weekend at home. i was more or less bedridden the whole time so i couldnt really do anything other than let my cat lay down on me.
wound up recovering fine and we mostly assumed it was the flu (despite being may) but i do get sick a bit easier now
 
was playing baseball for a team when I got hit by a fastball in the thigh, very close to the knee. it then deflected off of my other thigh. couldn't walk without painkillers for a week after.
 
when i was 6 i went to the dentist to get a tooth removed and that felt so horrible it felt like i was getting a piece of my skin ripped off. i was trying to escape then when it was over, i ran out that place crying because i thought they were trying to kill me
 
For me it's weird cus I know (*knock on wood* the worst pain I ever (hope to) go through happened when I was 2, snapping my left femur; ofc that age we don't have any real solid memories like of a DAY OR MOMENT - tho i did have a reoccuring dream as a kid of them putting me in the ambulance and stretching my body out not realizing i snapped my femur and me screaming. I mentioned that to my Mom once and she was like "Yeah I remember that night" and I was like... 12 then and had to be like "I've been having this nightmare for years.... wtf?"(Yay identifying trauma lol smh)
i was in a body cast for like 6-8 months, had to relearn to walk - which at 2, like... you LITERALLY JUST LEARNED TO DO.
(I had fallen down the stairs, dumb lil kid energy, too many toys in hand and slipped)

ONE I ACTUALLY REMEMBER was when my dad was sick and we were signing for the house and i had to sign on with them to help push the credit credentials over - i had popped my left hip outta socket at work (and im still young so i thought it was lower back at first) i had to walk with a cane, my steps were off balance, when that finally popped back in it felt like an angel kissed me.
Knock on wood it didn't pop out since. (if the femur was a A+ as say a 99 out 100, the dislocated hip was probably 95 lol.)
thank god i got my dads pain tolerance lol
 
When I was 6 I got crushed under a huge metal gate which fell on top of me
Thankfully I had the reflex to curl into a ball on the ground and while the gate tore off the skin on the back of my head pretty badly, it didnt went through the cranium and I managed to live and recover well haha
 
Every so often this thread comes up and I think about posting, but, for whatever reason, I'm impressively "good" at injuring myself without feeling pain. So I'll note some funny times I managed to injure myself without feeling much pain.

When I was very young and doing gymnastics, I feel off some equipment and gashed my head on some protruding metal. I didn't really feel it, but I needed to be taken to the hospital to get stitches. For the sheets of blood. Coming from my head.

I had a period of several weeks where I had various respiratory unpleasantries, like a cough and sore throat. I assumed it would go away eventually, so I kind of just shrugged it off. Turns out I had bronchitis! Oops!

I was playing Humans vs. Zombies, where the Zombies try and tag the Humans and the Humans stun them with Nerf guns. I was a Zombie chasing after the Humans. Somehow, wearing my trusty sandals, sprinting through the actively rain-drenched concrete, I slipped. It felt like a mild scuff, and then I noticed both my kneecaps just oozing blood.

Recently, I stepped on a hanger that was broken and had some broken plastic chip extruding, which penetrated my heel. It stung a bit, but more intensely than the pain was the streams of blood actively coating my floor.

Fun!

Pretty sure the reason is because (at least for the physical injuries) none of the spots have a ton of nerve endings. Joints pretty famously don't hurt super bad in skin injuries since those areas stretch and shift a lot and excessive nerves would cause nonstop false alarms (i.e no point in your body putting anything there).
 
One time when I was younger, I started wondering "What's up with the holes where the light bulbs go the ceiling fan?". Honestly idk were that even came from, but alas, I eventually gave in, grabbed a chair and reached to the to the electric inlet. It was only a few seconds, but I managed to feel the electricity coursing through my body. Thankfully nothing bad happened to me, so it's all good!

Now, technically I did burn my hands severely with hot menudo when I was a toddler (to the point I still have a scar from it to this day), but I don't remember a thing about it, so idk if that counts...

In elementary school I was playing one of those pencil games where you put your hand on the table stretch your fingers apart stab down around your fingers. The sharp pencil went straight into my index finger at full force. I still have a graphite tattoo mark ~20 years later.

this was a distinctly not painful experience but when i was in 4th grade i sharpened a pencil and shoved it up my nose and it must have hit a blood vessel or something bc it started bleeding. i didnt notice until the teacher told me and she sent me to the nurse for some reason
 
A roof tile being dislodged by a football and being an inch from taking my right eye out is probably up there.

I've torn a bunch of muscles and cartilage and while they all hurt, I don't remember them being "worst pain in my life" worthy.
 
i got 3:
- kicked the corner of a couch frame right on the pinky toe ... nearly fainted and was limping for a month
- playing rugby, got lifted up slightly and landed with a straight leg, surprised i didnt break a leg or tear something
- cricket ball to the plums ... and i wasnt wearing protection
 
Not the most painful thing ever, but most painful for a long time. The other day I was out walking my parents’ dog and had this weird dizzy spell (been to the doctor since, nothing to worry about luckily) and fell backwards on my butt, right on a thorn. Worst part was I couldn’t stand up for a minute or 2, so I was sitting on a thorn for what felt like several minutes
 
A few years ago near Christmas I fell down the stairs back-first after slipping on the ice that had covered it. The impact was so bad that I legitimately almost broke my back. Still have some scarring on my back to this day because of it.
