What is the worst physical pain you’ve ever gone through and why?

For me, it was and still is Diabetic Nerve Pain.

It started in the crown of my head and face in 2002 and then moved into my upper arms around 2006 through 2009. At this time, the pain was so bad I had to bite my pillow at night to keep from crying and screaming in pain. I still didn't know what was causing it and neither did doctors. By 2012 I was diagnosed with "Neuropathy" but still unknown cause. It wasn't until around 2016 that they diagnosed me as Type 2 diabetic, and by then the pain was so bad that 3000mg of Neurontin did not stop it. I felt like I cried non-stop every day from the pain even as I tried to keep a full-time job. One day, the pain was so bad all I could do was pray for help, because i KNEW the doctors couldn't help. For some reason, around 2016 the pain did start to go away, but I'm still on 900mg Neurontin per day for pain to this day.

My left hand is numb now, which effects my typing speed, as I probably only type 30 wpm now.

Most people rate Kidney Stones pretty high on their pain scale, but I've had a kidney stone before too, and that was bad, but nowhere near as bad as Nerve Pain.

I'm never going to be the same again. Even the memory of the stabbing and burning pain is awful. It drove me crazy, and I think that's a real fact of the matter.
