Recently, it would have to be swallowing a Jalapeno slice while having strep throat.

I'm not sure what the most painful thing I've ever experienced is.

That reminds me of a time I ate the pepper thing you aren't supposed to in a thai restaurant. My throat swelled and I thought I was going to suffocate right there.

Not really painful, but terribly scary when you try to breathe and can't

yeah, now I get told 'you can eat that' for similar things I just discard.

I love hot peppers though. The problem ones are those dried up husk types that really don't have much flavor and just add 'kick' to the plate.

I usually ask for extra spicy and hotter.

Pain can be both physical and/or mental. You're just being an insensitive jerk.

Probably getting stung by 5 wasps at once. I was mowing the lawn and had to overturn some lawn chairs and throw them to the side. One of them had a nest on the underside. I ran screaming to the front door with my legs crying out in pain.

Tough to say, I guess - I've been rather fortunate to avoid any serious injury. I'm split between Taser and OC..

Not as bad as most here. Probably a pilonidal cyst flare-up. Or grabbing a soldering iron by the hot end.

I love hot things, too! Those red peppers I usually find in Chinese food are hot but not tasty, so I avoid them at all costs!

Ceiling tile (fiber glass) embedded under my eyelid. Not even a direct kick in the nuts hurt that bad

Although I have never gone through losing a close family member to cancer, during my ?experience? (aside from the initial being flayed alive part) the mental aspect was at the very least almost as hard to deal with as the physical pain.

I would spend the better part of everyday basically fearing the next day and that damned debreedment room. I would come up with desperate schemes to try to get out of it that never worked. I would beg and plead with them in the morning to skip just one day. I went so far as to offer to sign my truck over to one of the nurses if she would not take me for a single day.

I have a couple.

First, I was bitten by a rabid cat when I was about 14 years old ... no joke. My dog was mauling this little stray cat and I tried to save it. The f-er bit my hand. When I told my dad he caught it and took it to the vet and after observation then testing it (which involves basically killing it) found out it had rabies.
So I had to get a ton of shots. The worst part was the first series that they had to give. It was this really thick serum that was suppose to be injected into the bite locations.... which happened to be my pinky finger. They couldn't get it all to go in with one stick so they kept injecting a little then sticking me again in a different part of my finger. By the time they were done I had over 20 injection sites on my pinky and it had swollen up to about 3-4 times its normal size. It was so big and so tight that all the wrinkles on my knuckle were smoothed out and it looked like a sausage. It felt like my skin was going to burst open at any time from the pressure.

The other story is from when i was about 10. I was screwing around with my brother at our barn (we had horses). We would climb on top of the barn by standing on top of a barbed wire fence then climbing up a nearby tree. Well on the way down I slipped and the barbed wire fence raked down the side of my leg. It ripped my leg open from about my knee to my hip. It was a pretty jagged cut and probably about 1" deep. It took the doctor a long time to sew back together. It actually didn't hurt that much at the time ( hurt a ton later though) but it sure freaked me and my parents out.

Grand Canyon. A few years ago I went backpack hiking with a few friends. About a week into the hike we were climbing up this steep hill when I slipped and slid down into some dry brush. One of the branches made a nice deep gash into my right thigh (skin and flesh and all). Needless to say my vacation ended there. I still have the scar to this day.

Physical Pain: I was adrenaline high during a foot race and decided that it would be a good idea to jump 10 steps onto concrete. Half-tore a ligament in my left foot, but I initially just thought it was a bad sprain. Was virtually immobilized for 2 days before I decided to head to student health and got crutches + x-ray. Only went to the bathroom down the hall.

Emotional Pain: My entire family was involved in one long shouting match for all of Christmas Eve until we all collapsed from exhaustion at about 5am Christmas Day. The rest of Christmas day was a cold shouldered armistice. My sister and I managed to have a decent time once the fighting stopped, but beyond that...

As for the above, that's pretty much been the situation in my house for 5 years now, although the fighting's stopped. WWII to the Cold War. College FTW!

Broke the Tibula and Fibula 7 times between the ankle and the knee.

I was working on installing and connecting new Hi-Fi equipment. I was standing with my leg wedged between the "console" and the new sub-woofer. I was bending around the console to bolt the cables to the back of the amp, and lost my balance, falling over backwards.

I immediately passed out, woke up some point later, and tried to stand up. At which time I found out my right leg was a little shorter. I was trying to stand up and failing on a stump of bone about 5 inches below the knee, that was cutting into the muscle and other bodily pieces.

After a bit, I rolled onto my back and went into shock, yelling at the top of my lungs, while having my leg hanging down at a 90 degree angle from the break spot below the knee.

The wife woke up, stepped out into the living room, saw my leg hanging down, and passed out. She hit her head on the table she was beside on the way down. She repeated that 3 times, until the police knocked on the door, and diverted her attention away from me. The next door neighbors had called the police, because they thought someone was dying.


And there is my most painful experience.

sprained one ankle and broke the other one ... at the same time.

came down on 2 different people's feet when going for a rebound and turned both ankles at the same time. i was literally dragging myself around on my ass for about 3-4 weeks because i couldn't even put weight on my sprained ankle to use crutches after I had a metal rod put into my broken ankle.
