Ok...in light of my recent brush with pain I thought it would be interesting to hear other people's experiences with physical pain.
For those of you who don't know...this morning while shaving my legs, I shaved off a chunk of my fingernail right down to the skin below...yeah, it hurt, but it definitely pales in comparison to other experiences I've had.
I did go through natural childbirth...(I wanted drugs but things moved too quickly)...and yes that was unbearable pain.
But, I think what might even take place over childbirth was when my dentist came up with a "grand idea." I had a cavity...a very small one so she told me. She then asks me if I want to get it filled without novacaine. I was a bit leery, but she assured me it wouldn't be too bad. So, she starts drilling and I was getting electric shock pain. She stops for a second and then says she is almost done and asks if I'm OK. I told her it hurt and she responded with, "Only two more seconds!"
So I told her to go on...she starts drilling again, and I felt the most unexplainable, ungodly, un(fill in the blank) pain I have ever experienced. Not only was is it an electric shock in my tooth....but it went throughout my body....it was absolutely excruciating. You can't move with a drill in your mouth and I can't even remember how I got her attention, but I did. I told her in no uncertain terms would she continue without novacaine. And she actually responded with, "But I'm almost done!" Obviously, she had never experienced having her tooth drilled without pain control first. Needless to say I got my novacaine and never went back to her again.
What is the most extreme physical pain you have ever felt?
