I fell off my bike down a hill and flipped/rolled down 5 times. It hurt a lot. Then i realized there were some indian people watching. I then felt a lot of pain from embarrassment.

Menstrual cramps.

Also, pushing my sharp earring into a closing, swollen hole to reopen it by myself.

Well I don't know... the worst accident I have had were huge scrapes but the pain wasn't long lasting. I guess the worst I have had would be cramps.

I'd have to say menstrual cramps. A few months back, I had one so bad it felt like I was going to explode, legitimately.
Also, hearing the boy I had a massive crush on in 7th grade say to one of his friends "I'll never be with her." Though now, since 8th grade and being in 10th grade, we're together.

i feel like a little puss puss complaining about this compared to some of you guys

last year in gym i dislocated my knee. I went up for a rebound while playing basketball, but I was wearing running shoes instead of high top nikes like I'm used to, so I just landed weird. It hurt so much that I ended up getting xrays. I had to wear a brace for like a month, and I'm still supposed to use it for physical activity. a year later I've dropped all sports because it just hurts to run. I love snowboarding, but after a couple runs I'm almost screaming in pain. It's the most uncomfortable pain in the world and it haunts me every time I try to do something I love. I was running on my treadmill this morning and after 2 miles I had to stop

two years ago i was at big bear, while i was walking up the stone stairs that were covered in ice i slipped and fell. when i stood up i felt a really sharp pain on my left and right leg, so i lifted up my sweats and found this enourmous cut on my left shin, and a scab covering my whole right knee. then i found numerous holes in my $35 sweats.
my uncle carried me the rest of the way.

i came there to snowboard too.

Well, physically, I fell down the stairs and banged my head on a aluminium door adjacent to the stairs. I didn't have any serious damage. I think I didn't even feel any pain from that.
Emotionally and mentally, the memories of becoming a Red Cresent. Saw my good friends breathing for her life while she couldn't take in any air because of asthma/other reason...

[quote=TimDuhNoob]Honestly, a touching story.

You should've probably told her parents at least though. Nonetheless, I'm glad that you two are still very happy together with your 2 year old daughter.[/quote]

Thanks- yeah, that was a tough call. They were int he hospital visiting through the whole ordeal, so they knew she had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, they were there for the surgery, etc...

I just didn't give them the odds that her blood condition could take a turn for the worse. Even in hindsight, now that she's recovered, she's happy that I didn't tell her and her parents just how dire it could be- it wouldn't have helped anything.

My wife recently had an "ectopic pregnancy" and almost died (she had a 50-50 chance). "Ectopic pregnancy" means our baby, my son or daughter, was growing in the tube instead of the uterus. It's the most common cause of death in women in their first trimester.

When we first got the positive pregnancy test we were so thrilled. Then we learned it was not growing in the uterus, but rather her fallopian tube. We went from the joys of knowing we're going to be parents, to the heartbreak of knowing that the baby would eventually kill my wife if not removed. We weren't even given a choice of her life or the child's- our baby could never be born.

After many ultrasounds and blood test to confirm it was ectopic, I had to drive my wife to the hospital to get a methotraxate injection. That medicine should have, in theory, stopped the baby from developing, thus saving my wife's life. It works by stopping the baby from growing.

I had to be strong and hold back my tears as I held my wife's hands as the nurse injected her with the amber liquid that was going to kill our baby. The little 6 week old baby that we already loved so much. I had to watch the amber colored liquid enter my wife's bloodstream from two simultaneous shots as she cried out in pain and emotional agony, knowing that at that very moment I was watching my own son or daughter being killed. I'll never forget that moment- the moment when I witnessed my unborn child be killed- it will haunt me until the day I die.

The worst part was the shot didn't work all the way- my wife's tube still ruptured. Picture a small tube deep inside you rupturing and pouring blood into your abdomen, unable to be stopped- that's what happened to my poor wife. She called me at work in intense pain, and then called 911. The paramedics came to find her lying on the floor. I drove home from work, a 25 mile commute, in about 15 minutes, and arrived just in time to say goodbye to my wife in the ambulance before they sped away to the hospital. They got her to the hospital in time for an emergency surgery to remove the ruptured tube. My wife had so much blood in her abdomen that they had to literally tip her over to drain her.

===But that was just the beginning of the story! That was the "Good" part!===

After the surgery (which she survived), we thought we were finally done. We thought that horrific day was done. Then the surgeon told me she was going into "DIC" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disseminated_intravascular_coagulation) a 10-50% fatal blood complication caused by her internal bleeding. (Her body used up all it's clotting ability in the couple litres of blood in her abdomen, and was going haywire attacking her own blood). DIC can cause all sorts of terrible things, like your blood being too thin and not clotting and bleeding from your eyes and pores (like what Ebola does) while simultaneously causing blood clots in a different part of your body that can go to your heart/brain and kill you.

I watched as my wife was rushed to the ICU. The doctors told me it was serious, but I already knew that they had a nickname for her complication- DIC = "Death is coming". Imagine the person you know most having a disease that doctors nicknames "Death is coming". I have never experienced such terror in my entire life.

I spent the next 3 days being strong for her, not letting her or her parents know that I knew how serious her complication was. I had no one to talk through my fears with. All she and her family knew was that she was having complications, and they could be serious, but she didn't know just how serious. I kept thinking about life without her, without our 2 year old daughter having a mother anymore.

Thank God she eventually pulled through ok. We're back home now, thankful that we can celebrate another Christmas and New Year together, thankful that we'll be able to raise our beautiful 2 year old together and not as a single dad.

Falling off the monkey bars three feet, yet landing on my arm and breaking three bones, then while crying running over to my dad, falling and dislocating two of those.

Eleven weeks in a cast, pins, and lots of pain... Yet my arm still is just as responsive as my other...

Unless it's a genetic thing, cause then I'm sorry for you. <-Pre-emptive political correctness.

Mine personally would be when I tore my meniscus by landing on my knee cap from a fall. The painful part was standing up without realising it and feeling my knee snap as my leg straightened. When your meniscus tears, there's inflammation so there's a painful snap when you straighten a bent leg or bend a straight leg. All healed now, though. Luckily.

I've had 10's of stitches, broken over 5 bones, had surgery over 3 times, and I don't remember any of the pain. o_o So unless I didn't feel any pain, I don't know which hurt the most.

Last year I was on a ride with the mountain biking team at my school. We were riding along the side of a very steep and rocky hill,
when the person in front of me crashes. I subconsciously swerved to avoid them and fell down the hill...
