IMO the worst feeling is when your finger goes through the toilet paper and you end up going up your own poopy ass. 😖

I had to get up and walk down the hallway within an hour of waking up from a major spine surgery. I swear I could feel the muscles that they’d stitched back together trying to tear themselves apart through the stitches
That was 20-odd years ago; I look forward to never repeating that.
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
Back spasms and kidney stones.
I’m struggling to top a burst appendix.
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.
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
“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.
Ok you’ve got the price
Do they fill it full of water like they do for the kidney scan? That was super uncomfortable, but kind of cool to see on the monitor…
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.
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. 😱
Let’s just pack our stuff up. I, too, know when I’ve seen a winner.
I’d take this over most of the stuff the guy with kidney problems mentioned, absolutely no question.
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.
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.
Amputation pain is right up there, followed closely in the long term by phantom pain.
Then nausea.
Then tinnitus.A large part of why they’re the worst for me is that you can’t do anything about them.
My dad lost his arm in the late 90s in a work related accident. He described it as painful but was surprised at how it didn’t feel worse right there and then. Probably due to shock.
He was working alone in the middle of the night with his tractor when it happened, so he picked up what remains of his left arm he could find into a bucket and drove to the local nursery home because he knew there were people awake there 24/7. I guess that’s one definition of grace under pressure.
Upon arrival he got the emergency help he needed there and then and a while later he told us that while waiting for the medevac helicopter to be summoned, he was annoyed again about the pain, thinking “Isn’t this where I’m supposed to faint?”.
Later he had the occasional phantom pain. He didn’t struggle with it that much, and it usually passed after a few moments, but he told me that the worst parts was when he had an itch, or a finger was Ina weird position, he could do nothing about it since the limb simply wasn’t there anymore.
His arm was severed by a tractor-operated snowblower right below the elbow.
Fun fact: When the thaw of spring arrived he was happy to learn that someone had found his wristwatch in the retreating ice. Still working just fine. A little later someone found a wedding ring and correctly guessed that it belonged to the guy who got maimed there a few months earlier.
Uh. Shit.
And I’m going to have to get a tractor to power a snowblower pretty soon here…
the worst parts was when he had an itch,
Yeah. I don’t struggle with the pain so much: I have it, but it’s mostly like electric shocks, and somehow it feels like a TENS machine. So as long as it’s not too intense or too long, I’m okay.
But I really struggle with itching.
I just lumped itching with phantom pain because it’s easier to explain to people who don’t know.
Oh you sweet summer child
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.
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!
Getting an apadravya piercing. Pain level was 11/10 for about 3 seconds. I learned a new level of pain that day.
For those who don’t want to do any searching for what an “adadravya” is:
spoiler
it’s a body piercing that goes vertically through the head of a penis.
It was definitely unpleasant, but not the worst I’ve had. The worst was sternum implants; even though they used a shit ton of xylocaine, it was def. wearing off by the time they were pushing the implants in, and suturing me back up was… Ow. Definitely not fun.
What kind/shape/size sternum implants? I’ve seen other body location implants, but the sternum is a new one to me.
Just 1" PTFE domes. Nothing super weird.
I mean, more weird than subdermal implants.
A broken wisdom tooth rubbing against a nerve - would not recommend.
