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.

ITryToDeny 4d ago I had to get surgery on a very broken finger. They use a nerve block for the pain for after surgery and send you home with opiates for the pain. WELL I did not take enough pain pills before I went to bed that night. The nerve block wore off, and I woke up to true agony. Feeling every single bit of the surgical pins, realigned bone and utter misery that was my hand... for 2 hours until I took enough pain meds to knock myself out. + 29 Reply Share ...

plagueisthedumb 5y ago Having my nail bed scraped to clean it after gauze was removed (the nail was removed in surgery) it was pretty much sandpaper on an open wound.

crazy_tooth 5y ago . Edited 5y ago Head on car accident; I was in a little Toyota Yaris and he was in a big four wheel drive.

Illustrious-Sock4258 4d ago Testicular torsion. Imagine getting kicked in the balls, then multiply that by 1000. If i moved my legs at all, i would feel like a horse was kicking me in my balls. And the craziest part? My balls werent fully twisted, so that shit gets even worse if it fully twists closed. And if you wait too long, you risk losing a nut The morphine was amazing though + 569 Reply Share ...
Cool_Requirement722 4d ago Funny enough - a period of constipation. Ive had multiple gun shot wounds twice in my life, ive been set on fire, hit by cars, and all the fun of growing up in the 80/90's... not being able to pass a poop takes the cake by far. Not even in the same league as anything else. There was one moment when I was teenager where I had an upset gut, but my body wouldn't move it, it was uncomfortable at first, but by the end of the 4th day and I genuinely would have taken death if it was
Misophonic4000 4d ago Edited 3d ago The back of my eyeball and optic nerve waking up after emergency retina cryopexy, triggering a massive migraine that felt like I had a spike through my eye and into my brain. It was absolute raw unabashed hell, curled up with my head between my knees crying and screaming.

Lopsided_Success_368 4d ago Edited 3d ago An abscessed tooth. I was ready to rip the fucking thing OUT of my head ALL by myself. That scene in CastAway where Tom Hanks character used the rock and the ice skate blade to knock his own tooth out looked pretty attractive. Edit: i want to add, if this happens to you, you should not try to yank it out yourself. There is something called referred pain. Basically, your nerves lie to you and you feel pain somewhere other than the source of the infection. You could pull a completely wrong tooth. +
