    My mother called me one evening and told me that she had an inoperable tumor, and that her doctor said it was a very aggressive kind of cancer.

    This news was like being kicked in the stomach. They gave her a couple of months to live, which turned out to be correct. I miss her still.

    Well, first, I thought about the time I sprained my wrist. But that doesn't even come close to the time when my mom's wrist was dislocated, and we went to this massage guy who was supposed to pop the bones back in place. It was terrible. We were in this small shed, and all I could hear was my mom's screaming and crying and I saw her face covered in tears and eyes red. WHat hurted more was that I couldn't stop her from hurting, by just hugging her or holding her.
    Seeing others that I love, in pain, hurts me way more than when I'm hurt myself. I wish I could just take the pain away.

    The death of my fiancee. One minute my life was wounderful and going somewhere towards happily ever after and the next it was shattered like glass. I still wake up every morning hoping it was a nightmare. The only thing keeping me going is my sons. Without them I don't think I could do this because the one person I need to get through this is gone.

    I suffered with a herniated disk for at least 5 years, taking addictive medicines and physical therapy which hurt even more, before it was properly diagnosed. I could no longer feel my left leg, except for the radiating pain traveling into my ankle. I rolled out of bed, unable to sit up or swing my legs out; had trouble sitting on the toilet; could barely step into the tub to shower; and began brushing my teeth in the shower to keep from having to bend over at the sink.

    Doctors told me I was too young to have any serious problems, especially since I hadn't had an accident to attribute my problems to. They gave me more drugs to take, told me to take off work, apply heat or cold; and to go swimming! One day a co-worker recommended a neurosurgeon, who had just removed a brain tumor on her nephew. Dr. Howe ordered an MRI, and his nurse called later that day to set up emergency surgery! He performed a discectomy on my L4 disk, removing the material pressing on the nerve root or spinal cord. Upon waking in the recovery room, the first thing I recall is the lack of pain in my back (except the incision hurt a little) and that I could feel my leg for the first time without it being a hurt feeling. Other than some recurring pain a couple years later, attributed to scar tissue which was treated with "trigger point" steriod injections, which felt like fire being shot inside my body, I have not suffered any loss of motion or continuing pain due to this for 20 years.

    There's been so much emotional pain in my life, I wouldn't know where to start. It has all hurt like hell!

    Migraine headaches. I get them so bad that I can develop petechial hemorrhages (a vein in the white of our eye pops), occasionally the pupil on the affected side becomes fixed, I vomit, and I would, literally, kill myself to get out of the pain if the ER was not available.

    I have been tested because of them. There is always a worry about strokes or other causes/effects. The tests come back negative for anything more than a severe migraine.

    Gall Bladder pain is right up there in the physical sence, but major depression is the worst,it not only affects the sufferer but their immediate family, I was once held hostage in Iraq, (first time around) and after all this time I still suffer pain, but the trouble is its in my head, but time is supposed to be a good healer and I'm working on it.
    I just heard that Saddam Hussein is going to be hung in 30 days.

    Labor and childbirth. Not all were equally bad, but one was so bad [back labor, they are right about back pain being the WORST]... I actually had to go out of my body, then back in and down to face it. It was a bright, yellow, white light that I couldn't believe.

    I had a bulging disk removed from my back and foolishly signed myself out of the hospital.

    So far... that's most physical pain I've experienced.

    Cluster headache, (nickname: suicide headaches) I am sitting here now just after having my 5th one today I am shaking like a leaf. I am a 6' strong 34 year old man. yet they reduce me to my knees crying like a baby and begging for mercy. I did not think it was possible for the human body to create such a demon, let alone endure it. It is said to be the only pain worse than childbirth. I know the next one will be along soon. I am terrified. Check it out on wikipedia. I don't think I have any enemies but if I did...I wouldn't wish this upon them or anyone. God help me, please.

    I had a gunshot wound,
    The getting shot part didn't hurt as bad as you might think but later after the initial shock wore off and I was in the hospital I had two doctors walk up to me and one held my arms while the other took a 12 inch long "Q Tip" like thing and shoved it to the bottom of the bullet hole to take a "culture" as he called it.
    That Q tip hurt 1000 times worse than being shot and I actually fainted from the pain.

    The worst pain, by far, was the headaches I suffered when I had Viral Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). It was absolutely excruciating and I could have no exposure to light or sound of any kind. I can still remember it to this day, and it occurred when I was a child. The doctors chose not to give me Morphine, because they felt it was too addictive/dangerous for a child. I have had a child, and suffered other physical pain, but nothing compares.

    The summer after my 8th grade year, my mom got involved with the wrong man--a druggie, and he dragged her into a lot of stuff. It ended up with her losing her house, car, two daughters, everything. She is still with him 4 years later, and is currently in jail. Before all that she was the perfect mother and now I don't even care to speak with her. We were taken away by DHR and all she had to do was divorce him, but she chose him over her daughters and I had to go live with my dad who had left my mom before I was born and cheated on her. It's still hard to think about because I never really dealt with it all. Me and my mom were VERY close and now I want nothing to do with her and I can't forgive her.
