Did you almost die from it or was it just extremely painful, did you go to the hospital for it, etc?

Picture, in your mind, an automatic shotgun. And I mean that "in your mind" literally- visualize it shoved so far up your mouth it's actually touching your brain. Now picture the trigger being held down until it clicks empty three or four times. What does that make you think of? If your first thought is anything other than "blessed relief", you don't have a migraine. They're not on the level of cluster headaches, but they're absolutely awful.
They pale, however, in comparison to gall bladder attacks. Picture yourself in the bathroom, sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth as you try to find the least painful position to sit in. Standing up and laying down are both out of the question; that's WAY beyond your capabilities at this point. And you need to stay need the toilet, because although you've been consistently dry-heaving, having emptied your stomach completely hours ago, it's entirely possible you'll have a load of bile slip in, and throwing THAT up is even worse than regular vomit, because the thick, chalky aftertaste is almost impossible to get rid of. And the pain lasts for HOURS, and there's nothing you can do to make it pass faster, because anything you swallow you puke right back up. I've heard them called worse than childbirth- and it's quite frequent for people having one to think it's a heart attack and rush themselves to the ER.
Luckily, the surgery to have it taken out is easy, and for the rest of your life, you can smack your uppity organs down with "Remember what happened to the gall bladder?".

I have had all kinds of pain all my life. And I always seem to get through it okay and probably about a month ago my legs swelled up really bad and I don't know what was wrong who's in the most pain I've ever been in all my life unbearable. I mean it so bad I can't even get out of my bed I couldn't roll one way or the other I couldn't sit up and I'm laying down thinking about it and I'm thinking this is the peak of pain right here and then it hit me everything in life complete the circle if this is the peak have paid one more point and I'm back to pleasure again I'm starting I'm pleasure again so I close my eyes and I made myself Peak I made it hurt because and I picture to clock 12 a clock I made it at 12:01 and it was pure pleasure and for two and a half hours I laid there is no pain I got up got something to drink get something to eat went to the bathroom in about 10 minutes I could feel the pain coming back and I just kept picturing 1201 I mean I cannot believe I was in the worst pain ever and within 10 seconds I went for the worst pain ever to feeling nothing no pain whatsoever it was so cool
Anonymous(30-35)I had a stroke in June, doctors said it’s most certainly because of the pill. I got such an extreme headache that I passed out, when I woke up I couldn’t walk and felt like shit. I was in emergency care for a week. Thankfully I live in Sweden so my entire stay at the hospital with the tests, mri’s etc (including food and the ride with the ambulance) was about 90 dollars.
I’m recovering quite quickly and I can walk just fine now, but can still get some memory loss from time to time and feel quite slow when tired etc.
I’ve also broken my collarbone and tailbone in riding accidents, tailbone was way worse though, hurt like hell to sit, lie down and stand.

A Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) surgery. I had my pelvis broken in 3 places to attempt to correct congenital his dysplasia. I had to have two titanium rods drilled into the wing of my pelvis and I had a break that was literally underneath my vagina. Every time I tried to walk I could feel that break move. It took 6 months for my breaks to heal. I was in the hospital for 4 days. I was bedridden for a month. I wasn't able to leave the house.
Another one was brain surgery to have a Ventriculoperitoneal (VP shunt) implanted for Hydrocephalus.

I did what your saying one time when I was 10, my asshole, dad, took me to a Urologist to find why i was using the bathroom so much well anyways, this 3 cold hearted old doctors, (all guys not one woman), held me down on a table and proceeded to jam a completely dry tube into my groin, it was extremely painful and unbearable i was just a kid my dad told me to take it like a man, but just a kid the 3 men, had no compassion, and not to mention I was also completely humiliated because i was not covered up although i was wearing a gown the 3 bastards wouldn't even give me a blanket or any kind of sheets to cover myself up and on top of that other patients family members and friends could see my groin!! My groin and literally screamed my head of the whole time it took 10 minutes to jam it in and 10 more to rip it back out! I was completely traumitized and the female nurse was the only one who was kind to me and sympathetic towards me and consoled me after that i was grateful to her after that is if my day wasn't bad enough my dick of a father took me home and literally whipped me with a belt over a stupid poor progress report and i tried to tell my mom but she blew me off it was both a nightmare painful traumatizing and humiliating and i was only a 10 year old kid that's why to this dat i only see female urologist and primary care doctors or nurse praticioners because of the painful experience my female Urologist used gel when she stuck it in my groin it hurt less and she and the female nurse both had more compassion not that all male or female doctors and etc. are the same, just saying that's what i'm more comfortable with, anyways i triend to tell my shrink but my asshole parents just sat literally on my sessions and called my lier literally hovering over me doing this and my entire life i'm sorry but my old man was already abusive and my mom literally ignored me she could've stopped it but did nothing and everyone else was literally terrified of my dad although things got better i'm working to get away from em because at the end of the day their still assholes you feel me right? Well i'm gonna bail and hit the sack it's late later!!

When I was 21 I tried to hang myself but instead of my neck snapping I started asphyxiating, immediately regretted it and went into panic mode trying to cut myself down and did in time for no lasting damage to occur... unfortunately my windpipe was crushed from it and I was lucky enough that I could still breathe but for the next two weeks eating and talking were extremely painful and it took a while to get back to my full voice.
Also when I was 20 I had a pretty bad car accident while on drugs where I rolled my car into a ditch off a highway and it ended up leaking fuel which scared the shit out of me. I managed to crawl out through the glass and had a 4 inch piece of glass sticking out of my left arm that I, in my high delirium, removed myself with little problem alongside a much smaller piece above my left eye alongside a fucked up hand. Turns out most of my hand bones were pushed into my arm from the force of the impact against the concrete barriers and my left hand going into the steering wheel so my arm looked like a tube of toothpaste after it's been squeezed at one end. I had to have the arm set and rebroken 3 times before they realized the issue that my muscles kept spasming and contracting due to the pain preventing the proper setting of my bones so they finally rebroke it one last time and hung my hand off an IV thing and hung a 30 lb weight off my elbow and left it like that until my arm muscles finally stopped contracting from the pain and weakened which took about 20 mins and I was fully conscious for the whole thing (though I have little memory of it since I was coming down off the LSD at the time, but as opposed to the initial accident when I felt nothing, I felt it all).
I regularly tattoo my body so pain is something I've sort of become accustomed to at this point. -
When I was 17 I was diagnosed with aggressive Crohns, which is painful enough by itself, but pales by comparison to what I'm about to tell you.
Despite medication (prednisolone) the symptoms flared as soon as my doc started dropping dosage. At that point the decision was made to have a bowel resection to remove 1m of severely ulcerated tissue.
Pre surgery I was given an epidural that was to be a pain block when I came out of general anaesthetic. When I awoke, lying flat, everything was ok. But upon returning to my ward and having the head end of the bed elevated, the anaesthetic in the epidural started flowing slightly down my spinal column, resulting in paralysis from the waist down, and being able to feel all of the surgical work performed. So I pretty much know what it feels like to be disembowelled. I went into shock, but that didn't dull the pain.
It took 5 hours, huge levels of pethidine, for the anaesthetist and nurses to stabilise me and get me to a level of pain management I could tolerate.
On a scale of 1-10, this was a 12. I've had 31 broken bones in my life, and they barely rate a 4 by comparison.
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. -
Well, I've had my skull cracked, broke my neck twice and my back once, broke some ribs and other miscellaneous bones here and there, fingers, toes, jaw, nose, etc. I've probably had more than my share of cuts, scrapes, bruises and sprains. A bit of road rash here and there, even mutilated all the fingers of one hand once pretty badly in a table saw (many surgeries, rehab (torture) and all that), but I think the most painful thing was getting my nipple pierced. That is probably the worst pain, but very short duration, like a second, so tollerable. Some of that other shit didn't hurt as intensely, but hurt for years.

I was in a very bad car wreck in a blizzard with black ice on the road. The car slipped on the ice and hit an 18-wheeler. I was slammed into the front seat, when I got out of the car I slipped and fell onto one of the short fence posts in the highway median. I broke my wrist and five ribs, but falling onto the post was the most painful thing that ever happened to me. Of course I went to the hospital, fortunately the injuries weren't worse. I was out with pain meds the next morning. If I was on the passenger side I would have died.

I had a motorcycle accident where I broke my radius and got a cervical spine fracture, but that wasn't what hurt the worst. In fact, I had so much adrenaline or whatever kicked in, I wasn't in much pain at all, really.
The worst pain was about 2 weeks later when I had surgery on my wrist and I woke up afterwards, but they hadn't given me enough pain killer so the pain was insanely intense. I was in so much pain I couldn't even scream, it was terrible. But there was an anesthesiologist there who started pumping my IV with painkiller so it only lasted about 2-3 minutes then I was in a manageable pain, and about 15 minutes later I was in a very pleasant drug high. -
Two motorcycle wrecks, two seriously bad burns (one from dropping molten metal on my leg), one time I bit through my own tongue, one time I caught my lip in the spring on the side of a trampoline ripped my head back and sepersted it from my face, I stepped on a nail and it went a good way into my foot...
But honestly it was watching her leave me for a guy who abused her, movie in with him, and refuse to even talk to me anymore.
Physical pain only goes so deep, you can get rid of it with drugs, and it goes away over time. But that shit is worse, it just stays there, and you have to learn to live with it forever. I remember two times when I almost passed out from the pain... When I had a problem with digestion /stomach /colon... almost passed out.. I just collapsed and minutes later I was asleep.. And when doctors gave me medications for OCD / depression.. My head felt like it will explode i was suffering for a whole day.. I'm telling you just recalling those stuff is unsettling.. And I'm a tough guy.. I took huge bumps before.. One time I even got stitches without any anesthesia... Got attacked before with full force punches.. Nothing comes even close to those two situations for me

When I was a kid about 8 years old I got into an argument with another kid at school. I don't remember what it was about exactly but I think I was accusing him of cheating in a board game or something like that. Anyway we were just arguing and his brother who was about 14 comes over and grabs me by the back of the head and shoves my face into the edge of an open door as hard as he could. It gave me a concussion, damaged my eyebrow and cheek, as well as causing stitches in my cheek, lip, and jaw. Most of the scars have gone away over time but that was more painful than almost cutting my thumb off.

Tough call between the onset of myopericarditis, which is apparently relatively close to a heart attack and managing to break my big toe, fracture my metatarsals (yeah all 5 in my right foot) and sprain my ankle simultaneously from kicking a wall in an oversized steel toed boot
By comparison the car crash that ruined my back was nothing Got hit hard on my head during a fight.
It was a rusty iron rod that cracked my head open.
Adrenaline rushed up pretty quick so i didn't feel anything instantly. And i was rushed to the hospital immediately. I was conscious all this time. Pain started in the middle of that rush. It was so much that my senses really couldn't figure out what was happening in my surroundings until i was given some anesthetics.3.8K opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic. I had 4 wisdom teeth cut out and all i got was Novocain for the pain. One of the teeth broke apart and the doc had to tap a screw into each of the parts and pull each one out one at a time. I saw stars.
Afterwards they wheeled me out into the hall and left me next to a big sheet of plastic that was in front of a big hole in the wall that went to the outside. I was freezing but could not speak because my mouth was full of packing. I just laid there and shivered.- 1.2K opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic.
had to have surgery for pelinodal sinus. if you don't know what it is, don't google it. you're better off not knowing. i'll just tell you that roughly 50% of men get it and a smaller amount of women. and it involves having a part of your flesh removed and then it isn't sewn shut for a risk of infection. so you basically have a deep, slow healing fleshwound in a very inopportun place of your body for a month or 2, that you have to cleanse with water every day.
Ruptured disc in my back. My neurologist said it was fine, and I could live with it. Then, a year later, made it bigger, and worse. So, ruptured the same disc twice. Same neurologist said surgery was my only option.
I couldn't walk, and took me close to 30 minutes to even be able to get the pain out of my mind, and be able to sit in a vehicle to be driven home.
Wouldn't wish that kind of pain on anyone.-
I don't remember the pain, but I know that it was when I fell and hit my teeth on the end of the sidewalk, I was 2 years old, but my front teeth became yellow until they got replaced by the permanent teeth.
One that I remember is probably when I hit my forehead very hard on the ground, it created a mark that lasts until this day on my forehead. I was 6 when this happened. Probably when my one leg slipped off the edge of a boat and I banged down on the edge of the board right on my clit, when my knee locks and I don't notice and move it or when I have panic attacks and literally feel like I'm going to die.

I have been shot, broke bones, cut off fingers, road side bombs and nothing compared to the pain of passing a kidney stone. I barely made it to the ER before I collapsed from the pain. I would only wish that type of pain on my worse of enemies.

Well I had my leg broken in 7 places that was quite painfull. 20 years later and complications from that injury I'd say was the worst. First was only severe about a year. When my arteries in my leg became blocked and started causing problems it was severe for 3 years
504 opinions shared on Health & Fitness topic. I got empyema and needed it surgically removed. The anesthesia and coma part of it were painless. Afterwards I was in the ICU where they check every 2 hours to make sure you're alive. Later I was in the hospital while healing with a morphine pump in my jugular. Apparently the pain was double that of giving birth.
I got a thorn in my side. Like a literal thorn from a rose bush, but this was no normal thorn, it was big and long and it got me good. I still got a scar from it. I was cutting the bushes at my ex-gf's house and the thing went right through my shorts and in to my hip. Maybe it's not the most painful, but it's a good story.
