Is there anything more painful than popping out a kid?

Is that because the dragon that's suddenly appeared in your kitchen is a bigger concern now than the headache? :P

I reckon It'd be pretty painful trying to pop one back in.

I've had a cracked rib and a broken leg, honestly I haven't found that breaks hurt too much at all - unless maybe it was really bad, sticking out of the skin or something along those lines, rather than just a simple fracture.

A ruptured appendix perhaps. I don't know if the pain is worse than giving birth, but it was pretty damn painful before I passed out.

I have had two kiddos both w/o pain meds, also snow blindness, (at 15) which means i skiied all day on a sunny day in March in the Sierras with no sunglasses. By midnight I was in so much pain I could not hold still and had to be sedated. Like having vinegar mixed with sand in the eyes.
Childbirth hurt a little more but lasted less time at least for me. Pain was especially bad with my first who had her arm hooked over her head effectively increasing the size of her head. I scared the nurses out of the room. :twisted: :lol:

I found the messed up nerve from my lower right wisdom tooth to be worst pain I've experienced. When the pain went, I only had partial sensation on the right side of my face for good.

I also get cluster headaches too (right eye and behind such; feeling like someone is sticking a needle through your eyeball and into your brain).

Migraines, but they aren't too bad.

Major surgery wasn't anything.

Displaying some poor knowledge of human anatomy: giving birth through the wrong hole might hurt.
Not the funniest thing I heard - I talked to someone who said he'd talked to a couple who 'were unable to get pregnant, no matter how often he ejaculated on her navel'.

I'm fairly sure that torturers have figured out some more horrible stuff, though I don't have the stomach to look up exactly what.

Pretty bad, yeah. Especially later on.

It usually doesn't hurt at first due to the nerves dying from the intense heat (apart from the initial pain, of course, but then you'd go numb), but when the nerves start to heal (if they can).... Ouch.

I think they're overrating cluster headaches in that wiki article; they're bad, yeah, and if it was a constant thing 24/7, life would really, really suck, but they're usually gone within a couple of hours at most, then there's a respite. Sure, you dread getting another to begin with, but like with most things, you get used to it.

O, the worst "pain" I've felt is actually anxiety.

manual placental removal, drug free, due to placenta pacretia (a form of accretia). (Do not google if you ever want to have children)

i also had a sex injury that was easily as painful as contractions before i got to transition during labor.

My cluster headaches are on and off for about a week so it is pretty uncomfortable...that are not gone within a few hours.

No, they don't go during the active period. I meant the episodes within such.

Minutes to hours are the reported episodes. Mine tend to last a little under an hour (pain on one side behind eye and teary eye mainly), but the period where I get them can be weeks to months and then a break for the same amount. I always thought they were migraines, but the doctor told me different (I do get migraines too, but that includes the visual aura and nausea, with the headache being less severe).

I always wondered what the difference was because sometimes i get nausea (and have been sick) with migranes, but rarely.
