There's nothing they can compare it to...I think I read somewhere that the human bodies 3 worst soft spots are the eyes, the...male parts (unless you're http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a86cQobU-n4 :unsure: ) and adam's apple (which it does, even a small hit makes you gasp for breath).

They do say childbirth is roughly the equivalent of a man trying to urinate a lemon.

My most painful experience was tearing my menisucs to all hell while wrestling

My second worst was getting TKOed during one of my fights. I looked like http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=135800&page=4 for a week

But some of the other experiences on here seem downright agonizing

Don't ask how, but I once lit my face on fire and had second degree burns on about half my face. No bad scarring though, thank the gods.

I had a generally lucky life. No broken bones or horrible accidents. The worst I've had happen was maybe 10 years ago I was riding my bike and hit a curb sending me into the air. Being that young I panicked, ended up turning the handlebars so when the bike came back down the wheel was sideways. I ended up with a few bruised ribs, quite a few rocks in my arm, a horrible headache and a helmet that resembled a flat cap.

It could have been worse though, considering I landed about a foot away from a busy road.

I remember when the "Kicked in the Nuts" show-type thing was popular in our school/community. We were over at a buddies house for Grey Cup weekend, and one guy was in the bathroom. When he came out, another guy jumped out from the adjacent room (that was dark) and booted him right in the jewels. It must have been bad because the recipient threw up pretty much right away and stayed down for a while.

It was gold though because the guy who did it turned to a friend who was filming it on his phone and said "My friend, my friend... You've just been kicked in the nuts." like the show. Ahhh, to be immature again :hehe:

Being a man, I felt his pain keenly, as did we all between gasps of breath from laughing so hard. Personally, nothing bad has really happened. I cut my elbow pretty deep during hockey once, going for a puck on a penalty kill and the sweat and what not must have infected it because four days later in Europe it was oozing and smelled bad

That can not be healthy :cold:

Fracturing my Knee....owwwww

I dunno.... tie between almost cutting my finger off, breaking my arm and getting shot in the face with a paintball gun without having any protective gear.

Probably a tie between burning my hand on a piece of metal that was MELTING at school. I refused to go to the Nurse and was shipped out by my parents...why? Because apparently a 101 Degree Fever can be fixed with a mint. Idiot.

My other time was when a knife went clean through one of my legs on accident. And to this day, I never let my ex-girlfriend use a knife near my again. At least it hit the meaty part, no bone and the knife was really sharp and thin so no bloody mess.

lost my leg in naam

Ripping my ALC in half, then trying to stand after doing it. I took two steps and then my leg bent the wrong way...

I remember that as a young lad I wanted to do "blacksmithing" which basically constituted me in my garage heating up pieces of metal with a blowtorch and hitting them with a hammer and bending them. One day I heated a random stick of pot metal until it was white hot and hit it with a ball hammer quite hard, it splashed all over my arm and burned something fierce, still have scars from that one.

Coincidentally, I also have been stabbed in the leg (by myself, though). It didn't go in terribly far, maybe 3-4 centimeters. It didn't hurt very much though, I was more concerned about trying not to get blood all over the place.

Are we doppelgangers?

I slid down a ledge in Colorado when mountain biking with the boy scouts back in the day. Our leader got ahead of us and he thought it would be funny to jump out and scare us when we rode by, well the kid in front of me slammed on his damn brakes when he jumped out, i went flying over him and his bike and slid down a ledge about 20 ft. I got scrapped up pretty bad on my left elbow and my side, i still actually have a pebble under my skin on my elbow. Anyways that svcked pretty righteously considering most of the skin was ripped off my elbow and i had to finish riding down the mountain.

I've managed to stay away from hurting myself badly over these years but there are few memorable incidents.

1. I walked over a rusty nail that pierced my foot. I didn't really hurt that much but was annoying to remove...

2. I accidentally dropped a stiff rollbar on my head while installing it in a car. That didn't really hurt either but it bled a lot.

3. I managed to slice a part of my finger off while installing some trim pieces on a car. The knife that I was using was so sharp that I only noticed that I've cut myself after the trim piece was covered in my blood.

Way off, I'm afraid. According to http://www.ehow.com/way_5444485_body-part-least-sensitive-pain.html: "The body parts most sensitive to pain are the lips, face, hands and fingers, feet and toes, and tongue."

That's because they have the densest concentration of pain-sensing neurons.

Though I don't want to undermine the hurt of getting hit in the junk, it simply doesn't compare. I've taken a fastball pitch there, without a can, and it's not even in my top 5 painful experiences. I'll volunteer for that a hundred times over before volunteering for childbirth once. For me, the most painful was the aftermath of getting my 3rd front tooth removed, because the dentist had to drill away at the cement covering it without anesthetic. Power tools on raw gums... Not fun!

Oh, and I've also whacked myself very hard in the left eye and am nearly blind in it as a result. It went numb instantly - didn't hurt a bit.


Did that skiing last year. Painful yes (and worse than being hit in the junk), but mostly it just felt... Weird! Before I even landed, I heard that *pop* and knew it wasn't gonna be good.

This is probably one of the worst screams of pain I've ever heard, but I don't really feel bad for the guy for being stupid enough to do that.

Wait, why didn't he just wait until the truck was PAST the fence?

EDIT: damn, it's impossible for me to name URLs on iPod.

probably when i cracked my finger bone when I attempted to play football.. friggin finger hurt like heck forever! I felt like such a wuss to, haha. It didn't help that some jerk pushed me when I tried to catch it. If my finger didn't hurt I don't know what I would've done to him. haha

Also falling out of a two story window... I was like 6... It hurt when I landed on another part of the first story roof, and all I got out of it was a scraqe on my arm that didn't even scar.. MAN!!! I think that scared the heck out of me more then it hurt though. I got a glove balloon out of it, and the fire, ambulance and police stations were all called.

Twisted my ankle flat on the ground getting off a bus once (it rolled as I stepped down to the street). It was so excruciatingly painful I was getting sick to my stomach and thought I was going to throw up. Instead, I hear this rushing sound in my ears and faint dead away for a few minutes on the sidewalk. After it was all over my ankle turned purple and had swollen up to tennis ball size. Took a month for it to go away completely.

I had no idea something like a bad ankle sprain could hurt so much.

When I was climbing up a half-rotten ladder and one of the rungs broke. It was screwed on with screws on both sides, and they ripped open the outsides of both my legs from the ankle to the knee, deep enough that you could see the bones. Hurt like hell until I passed out. Probably the most pain I've ever felt.

A horse stepping on my knee, being hit by a car, falling off the roof of a building, whacked into the water by the boom of a sailboat, being thrown off a horse and head first into a tree, etc. I'm surprised I'm still alive, tbh.

I once got intense cramp in both my hamstrings at the same time after an 8 mile combat run while I was an army recruit. The pain was ridiculous. All the other lads found it funny because I was on the floor grabbing my legs and rolling around like a wounded animal but I don't mind admitting it put tears in my eyes.

Probably when I fell a meter and half onto a sharp metal
Spike nearly impaling myself I thought I was going to die, not good

And when I was showing off in a BMX race and crashed and removed my knee, which was packed with dirt and not surprisingly it got infected, there were warts all over my knee

I've never had any really bad accidents. The worst pain I can think of was just a couple of weeks ago, I hurt my lower spine/tailbone somehow, probably bruised. Sounds tame enough, but it really isn't. The most pain was standing up out of a sitting/lying position, I sometimes stopped midway thinking, I can't do this. I had to crawl out of bed backwards to reduce the amount of pain (still very painful though). Simple things like getting dressed, rolling over in the night, picking things off the floor, squatting, sitting down, getting up, even opening doors or merely walking caused agony.

As opposed to a lot of other back injuries, sitting down/being still actually made it worse than moving about, so after a trip to the docs I was prescribed 7 doses of painkillers per day and to keep walking and moving around as normal. XD

I did break my foot once but for some reason didn't feel the pain, maybe a shock reaction. Another painful episode was when I burnt my hand/fingers by picking up a glass lid that had just come out of the oven and not dropping it straight away. The pain went on for hours.

Testicular torsion. Guys, look it up and cringe in horror. You're very unlikely to experience something so painful. It also took an hour before I made it to the hospital and got it fixed.

... and before you ask, yes, everything still works...
