What is the most painful thing you’ve endured?
Me: Emergency appendectomy - my life was a living hell for 3 days before that, pain was worst ever, nothing would stay down, couldn't sleep or walk. I wished for a quick death.
I have endured kidney stones, diverticulosis, sinus surgeries, knee replacement, open heart surgery, food poisoning and traumatic brain injury. But the worst pain I have ever experienced was from Cymbalta Discontinuation Syndrome. The combined mental and physical agony was unbearable.
It's a toss-up between passing a kidney stone and a shingles outbreak. There's no way to get comfortable with the pain of passing a kidney stone. It hurt when it was traveling down the tube from the kidney and the bladder. It was only 4mm, but felt like a whole meter. I am such a wuss.
I don't think it rates high in comparison to some of the other experiences here but I had a weird viral infection that settled in both of my shoulders a few years ago For a while I was living like a T rex because it hurt so much to move my shoulders and I needed help dressing.My right side recovered because I was forced to use it but I guarded my left side and it froze.I don't have what I call pain in it now but I am having to work at getting it to move again
I'll make it short. Abuse accidents fucked up back and neck. Live on meds 100x stronger than heroin
