The worst pain I have ever had

(Four people’s experience)

Iguess the worst pain that I’ve ever had was, that I can remember is, I had an abscess in my jaw, in my tooth. And I had a…, it made me run a fever at the same time so it not only the fact that it makes the whole side of your head ache that terrible ache that you get, and frequent little stabbing pains in the region of it. But because I had a fever it felt like it went on for a lot longer than it did. It felt like you were … you’d never … you’d always been hurting and you never would stop hurting. I think that was horrible, and the relief when it was finally over was just incredible. It was like waking up from a bad dream.

I think the worst pain I’ve ever experienced was when over the course of three days, a couple of years ago, I became completely paralyzed in my legs and my arms, there was the most incredible pain which was a very deep blunt pain at times, and then at other times a shooting and stabbing pain. And this pain would come on every twenty minutes or half an hour and so by the time one lot of pain had actually subsided, it was the next lot of pain that I was coping with. And it was quite incredible. I wouldn’t like to experience that ever again. And yet at the same time it was quite satisfying, to actually get through that pain.

The worse pain I ever had actually was in my ankle when I sprained it. And it was the second time I’d actually sprained my right ankle. And in fact I was hopping down some stairs and landed very badly and twisted it. And I knew immediately that it was going to be swollen beyond belief. And it was a very hot instant pain and I thought I would keep on my sock and my boot to try and keep the swelling down and a friend of mine drove me to the hospital and of course they took off the sock and boot in order to X-ray it and it was swelling before my eyes and the pain by this point had changed from the sort of stabbing to an almost like a physical bruise feeling coming out. And it was burning and so painful that even the slightest amount of weight on it… I mean that evening I had a sheet on it and the sheet hurt.

This is going to sound silly but actually the worst memory I have of pain is what eventually turned out to be nothing more than indigestion. I’d had lunch and it was one afternoon I was home looking after my… he was my only son at that time, he’s my oldest son, and suddenly I got this incredible tight feeling in my chest. I immediately thought the worst; I thought it was going to be a heart attack or whatever. And it got worse and worse, and I was, I literally couldn’t move. And my younger son…my son who was about three at the time was in the room with me. And he made it worse, because he found this extraordinarily funny.There was Daddy, rolling about or writhing on the bed moaning in pain and he just was in hysterics the whole time.
