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

A spinal tap was quite unpleasant. I could feel the needle grinding around in my spinal cord. 0/10
Toothache. Most general pain I can just tolerate until it goes away. But I become completely useless with a toothache. I’m not productive and I’m irritable. I grab a painkiller as soon as I can.
This one just recently as I’m getting older: lower back pain. Getting up after sitting down for a while in an awkward position and the pain is so bad that I literally collapse into a squatting position with my hands on the ground until I can slowly get up again.

Tacking onto this person’s post:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Sun+Salutation&ia=images&iax=imagesSun salutations are an easy, flowing set of poses that stretch a lot of your body. I didn’t really take classes but had an opportunity for a couple months to do yoga with an instructor in a group setting and our group had every body type. If someone struggled with a particular pose, there’s either a way to modify it or try something similar
The sessions were great. Sometimes I was able to push myself physically, but they weren’t geared for that; just chill beginner yoga. I certainly did see progress in myself though, and was bummed when they ended
Post surgery abdominal air bubble.
You just have to wait until it absorbs.
Idk what that actually feels like, but reading this made me think of that pain in your chest when you drink cold water too fast after being out in the heat all day. But in the abdomen 😩
Yes! Nailed it! But bigger
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.
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.
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.
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. 😮💨
Nausea, at least, personally. It’s worse than pain.
That constant nausea that you’re trying so hard to fight back, but your mouth keeps filling with saliva because it’s ready for you to vomit?
Yep.
Fuck everything about all of that.
I second that.
Back in May I had a stress overload and for a solid month or so I was CONSTANTLY nauseous (among other things). And it was that type of nausea that didn’t make you vomit, it just made you feel that you were about to. Absolutely horrid times.
hate nausea so much. i’m scared of being sick soo bad
There is no better feeling than the serenity of having just vomited away the ache after your guts have been waging civil (and uncivil) war on yourself for hours.

anything hitting your shin
Why does pain hurt so much there, but it doesn’t also come with extra good sense of touch, like being tickled or rubbed? 😩
Chronically, kidney stones followed by gall bladder stones. Acutely, cramp anywhere in the leg.

That just reenforce my decision to keep my unopened box of the good pain medication…
Got it on prescription after getting a wisdom tooth removed, but never needed them…
For me the pain was similar at the peak, but gallstone pain would fade in and out, while kidney stone pain was unrelenting.
You now know how to instantly relieve a leg cramp, right?
Of course! You leap out of bed and stagger around the room whilst shouting, “Oh, god! Oh, christ! Arrgh!” The cramp eases off in as little as 5 minutes’ time.
Stretch against the cramped muscle, push hard, cramp dissolves instantly. Weight lifter taught me that 30 years ago, figured everyone knew!
Please, do tell. Cramp is annoying pain, because it tends to lock my leg up when it happens.
Stretch against whatever muscle is cramping. It’s counter intuitive and sounds like it would hurt like hell. Instant relief.
I’ll give that a try next time, thanks :)
probably depends on the size of the kidney stone. i had a rather small one, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as having an appendicitis getting so bad it burst. sharp pain from knees to jaw, trembling in very high fever. had to wait for almost 20 hours for the surgery in that condition. and the meds did absolutely nothing at that point
Bullet Ant bite. People have killed themself to make it stop. It locks your pain receptors to the on position and doesn’t allow them to turn off.
Giving birth.
I once got to Sweet Frog 5 minutes after they closed. That was pretty bad.
Pain wise, dislocating my shoulder, elbow/top of foot/chest tattoos were about tied for about 9 on the scale.
Being sea sick is a misery I only wish on a select few.
Arch cramp or Charlie horse in the middle of the night is a personal hell.
I’ve had people give me so much shit for how bad I said my dislocated shoulder was pain wise so hearing a couple other people echo that experience is vindicating.
I first dislocated it at an ice hockey tournament, got it put back in and played the rest of the tournament.
Yeah, fuck those people. Pain hits everyone differently. I had my ribs tattooed and yeah, it hurt but not like bad-bad. I saw a guy that was getting his done and you’d have though they were gutting him alive. Full on screaming. I have zero doubt it was real for him. That’s when it dawned on me fully that while there are some common things that hurt, we all have a totally different relationship with pain.
I did my shoulder skating a bowl. I went to the er then home. I can’t imagine getting back into a game afterward. You’re a seriously tough dude.
Chewing on styrofoam
Forbidden meringue.
I once broke and dislocated my shoulder, and having a broken arm jammed back into a dislocated shoulder was bad enough to induce a blackout.
But other than that, getting kicked in the nuts.
I had an unstable rotator cuff for years. Dislocated shoulder is an awful feeling.
