35 Times People Experienced Absolutely Excruciating Physical Pain

We all remember the worst physical pain we’ve ever felt, but one of the incredible things about being alive is that there’s no guarantee that it won’t eventually be topped by an even more excruciating affliction. One Redditor cites his worst pain as testicular torsion, which he described as being like “getting kicked in the balls, multiplied by 1,000,” explaining that if he moved his legs at all, it felt like a horse was kicking him in the balls. 

Needing to introduce a horse to the scenario is all the proof we need that testicular torsion hurts like hell, but he went on to note that his balls “weren’t even fully twisted,” so the pain he was experiencing was only a fraction of what was possible. 

Other Redditors have recalled the worst pain they’ve felt in their lives (so far), including a guy who said his bout of constipation felt worse than getting shot.
