Help answer this question below.
Well, in my culture. .(Sout African, Xhosa speaking), to become a man you need to be circumcised. . .that's not the painful part (you're cut looking, not drugged on anything, your penus bleeds and we use dry goat skin to wrap the wound (no pills for the pain)). .what's painful is the wound healing, and we use this plant that just makes you go crazy (with an unbeareable pain) for a whole 2 weeks, I don't think I'll ever experience a pain like that, ever.
But atleast I came out alive, which is more than I can say for some of my other initiation school mates. (I'm not making this up and I'm not even supposed to be writing it on the site) but you asked, and I told.

Someone I loved...dying.
Thats easy. Child birth. I shattered 3 vertabre in my neck that did not hurt. Birth hurts.
the pain of being human(beginners mind)
I cant say it was pain but the i wanted to die when i got food poisoning from chinese food. I thought i was having a heart attack at first.
My mother died today, we did not speak for two years. I am feeling a lot of pain.
Nothing can compare to actual "Organ" pain. Only pain I couldn't handle was Pancreatitis. Indescribable is all I can say.
I had a bone infection in the stump of my leg and in my pelvis, combined with cellulitis. The bone infection went on for almost two years, and I had to have my leg re-amputated twice. The final amputation was an enormous relief.
Renal colic takes some beating. While I was waiting for the doctor to arrive it occurred to me that if it were to persist indefinitely without painkillers suicide would be an acceptable alternative.
Experts have since informed me that it is almost as painful as childbearing . . .
Watching my daughter grieving the loss of her husband in 2008.
child birth. I was 140 lbs and gave birth to a 9 lb baby........NATURAL
I herniated a disc in my lower back a little over 2 years ago. THAT was some of the MOST intense pain I've ever felt. I could hardly put my pants on without it feeling like my back was breaking.
When I was pregnant I was induced and the Dr used Oxytocin, the contractions brought on by that medicine made me want to die! I was in labor for 22 hours, I had alot of medication and an epidural. They had to do the epidural three times, I insisted that it was only numbing one side and the Drs didn't believe me. They decided to do a C-section and when they cut into my stomach I felt it and screamed...They put me "under" and when I woke up my son was in the ICU due to the medications and hard delivery. I couldn't see him until he was 5 days old because I was put on Magnesium sulfate so that I wouldn't have seizures, it shuts down your nervous system so you can't move. They couldn't bring my son to me because he was in the Neonatal intensive care unit. I was induced because I developed Eclampsia. It was a horribly painful experience!
i think braking my leg arm and face all at the same time ... fell off of a clif face and it hurt like a bitch
labor
It is a toss up between migraine and kidney stones.
I had a migraine headache about 30 years ago. It was so bad, I still remember it. Even worse than when I broke my leg.
Physical pain was in my groin. It became unbearable, and in 1985 I had surgery to relieve it.
I had to have both testicles removed to get rid of the pain, and two years later had my empty scrotum removed. I now have nothing but my penis.
Loss of my Mother, when I was 18.
Cramps and the injustice of the legal system; and how it can be manipulated by those with money until a person is absolutely crushed. +5
I completely shattered my heel bone...not only is it one of the hardest bones in your body to break but there isn't much that can be done for recovery...5 years out and I still have pain most days,I can't climb ladders or even really run for that matter...so not only was the break unbelieveably painful(worst pain I've ever felt and for those who know me they know that is saying a lot)but I'll have to deal with the after effects for the rest of my life...Sucks all the way around
It is simply a "tie" between: childbirth. . . . .a slipped disc in my spine. . . . . .an abcessed tooth in need of a root canal!
A 3 day and night labour with my son without epurdural or pain relief.
For two times I had kidney stones (that second time in 2000. that was an AGONY which lasted for about 6 hours when I could not endour any more and I took Praxiten from which I could not fell my arms for some time) and before 2 years I dislocated my right neeckap and that was like hole preveouse agony in just 10 minutes,OUCH!
Well, about 5 or 6 years ago, I had a terrible back problem for 2 months - much of which I could hardly move [My wife cried seeing the dreadful agony I was in] ... it almost felt like I was on the verge of death in pain from time to time ... I think only God held me up.
But I actually had a terrible year that year - with an ulcer that lasted all year ... and a number of intimate experiences with Satan and his world that are the most horrifying and terrifying experiences of my life.
Fortunately, I finally found the key answer, but not until after much personal counsel with Church General Authorities.
That was an emotional pain I would not wish on a snake!!
It was a dreadful year.
Toothache which mostly occurs in the midnight.+5
my funny bone...I hit it yesterday climbing down the ladder...sad thing is the only one laughing was the boss
The pain in my groin before my urologist agreed to remove my testicles through inguinal incisions to remove both testicles and all the veins to them.
The varicoceles caused enough pain I ould only do a half day's work before it became intolerable.
My wife supported having me castrated, and she pressured my urologist to do it. He reluctantly agreed it was the best solution, ane left me with an empty scrotum that aI asked him to remove two years later. The woman doctor who did the surgery under his tutelage cut me tight enough I would never have to deal with having an empty sac agn.
I'm omfortable having nothing but my penis. It still works.
My sophomore year is high school was the absolute worst year of my life.
If I was forced to re-live it again, I wouldn't survive.
the pain of loss........
The ones I caused myself. +5
Physical Pain, as an adult, withdrawals from Effexor without a doubt. Childbirth was nothing compared to that because at least there was an end to it.
Withdrawal pain from Effexor didn't stop, there was no way of escaping it whatsoever. (except to take more Effexor which I ultimately had to do) It takes a toll physiclly & mentally you go on a brain zap, emotional roller coaster. Kinda like trying to ski downhill on ice. It knocks the foundation of your thinking/ coping out of wack.
When i saw your avatar.
Emotionally.......Hearing my eldest son tell me "You're dead to me"
Physically........Stomach surgery.
when my first love broke my heart.
Physically- Giving birth
emotionally-Leaving someone
Broken ribs. Also when my collar bone was broke.
Physical pain: right after my c-section when the spinal wore off and before they gave me the first demerol shot.
Emotional: The year 2000. My mom died, one of my best friends died and my marriage fell apart. Horrible awful year.
Breaking(fracturing) the ramus bones(you sit on them) on the left side of my pelvis,the pain was the most I have ever felt.
Watching my parents at the end of their lives and knowing there was nothing I could do to help them or take their pain away.
toothache! very untolerable.
losing someone dear
Migraine.
When cicumstances made me and my b/f broke up in 1990. My heart broke and it took almost 10 years to heal.....

LMAO Im definatly not a man
by Ailsa on September 16th, 2009
oh and I meant, (NO pills for the pain) recently edited it now. Here's the sad part. .After going through all that, and it so happens that your wound becomes worse and you're forced to go to hospital. You're no longer regarded as a man, cannot hang amongst "us" lol. Nothing medical/morden needs to be used on you. IT'S ALL NATURAL BABY!
by SaXlOvEr on September 16th, 2009
lol, oh did I meantion you eat. .PAP (don't know what you call it in the US) for 7 days and not drink any water and stay in the forest? no contact with the outside world. .it's just you, your recently cut dick, the plant used (changed every 2 minutes), and your goat skin (as a bandage).

Horror,horror,how come they didn't make a movie on this subject? OI!
by robertini on September 16th, 2009
they don't really know what goes on behind the scenes. . .we're not allowed to tell, and what I just told you is just a small fraction of what's going on. I guarantee you, if you were to ask any (Xhosa South African) that has gone through this, they would only say, it's complicated, which it is.
