Someone who had a kidney stone… absolutely BRUTAL amounts of pain, for 4-6 hours. Only thing that helped me was a high dose of morphine allowing me to finally sleep through it. Ended up throwing up quite often and wailing in pain. Contractions and spasms were just the tip of it.

I had an ovarian torsion. It is, to this day the worst pain I've ever experienced. Legit, writhing on the ground sobbing. This was after giving birth twice. 100% changed what a 10 was on my pain scale. I've had kidney stones that didn't hurt so bad.
Im with you, sis!
I had bilateral ovarian torsion. It definitely wasn’t fun….
I wonder how that compares to a testicular torsion
@@ChamMSB I would think about the same because the physical structure is very similar. Guys just have theirs out & we ladies have it inside…Of course, I haven’t personally experienced both types, lol
Wait THEY CAN DO THAT?? fml
I had my first kidney stone this year and I can tell the pain is something I haven’t felt like and I thought I knew what pain was after being crushed between a truck and trailer 12 years ago
Man you've been through a lot
I had gallstones and it was 100% the worst pain I'd ever been in. I figured it was at least as bad as childbirth, and I may have been right - my female cousin who has kids also had gallstones and she told me the gallstones were more painful. I did get my gallbladder removed the next morning.
my mom was making fun of me, when i had two kidney stones at the same time, making comments like "now you should try childbirth" acting kind of smug like I was just being weak. The doctor straight up put her in her place, saying that most women had said to him that it was worse than childbirth by far. That wiped the grin off her face, and she got a lot more sympathetic after that.
I had a 9 mm by 6 mm kidney stone
I had a testicular torsion once, the incompetent ER doc didn’t give me any pain meds for almost 2 hours since she thought I was overreacting to a kidney stone. Eventually people figured out that I was actually in a ton of pain and not dramatizing anything and decided to give me meds; luckily I was able to get a surgery in time to prevent serious damage.
Did you had to get them removed?
dude I'd be so mad at the doc
Bro I've also had it and it hurts like a mf. Bruh it felt like I was repeatedly being kicked up there
This is what happens when they lower the standards due to diversity hires

I'm a Cluster headache sufferer myself. And even though it's the #2 on the list of the "Pains worse than childbirth" I still have great admiration and compassion for the women who suffer so much pain to bring a child into this world.
Jk
Sorta
Ehh it honestly depends on the individual woman
We didn't choose to have cluster headaches, but people can choose to give birth. 👀👀 They have courage, sure, but it is a choice.
Of course it differs for each woman but childbirth really isn't that painful. I would honestly rather give birth 50 times in a row than deal with an abscessed tooth. Now THAT'S painful
My brother stepped on a stone fish on holiday in Australia when he was about 7. Doctors were surprised he lived. He remembers very little of it but the scream he made when stepping on it will haunt me and my family forever. I was out of eyesight at the time but I straight up assumed it was a croc He passed out within minutes and started seizing. We were just lucky we were close to a hospital too
I stepped on a stonefish last year. My parents are doctors and helped treat it initially, but it still remains the most painful experience I ever had the misfortune of going through.
As a person with Sickle Cell SS I can attest that the pain is mind numbing and it is constant. I'm very shocked to see they actually covered it, very happy.
Same here, SS pain is the worst especially in the back, chest and stomach
Right! It’s weird that I’m happy we’re included in this.
@@cajunscorpionit's not weird at all. It'd actually be weird if they didn't include it. Sickle Cell is very much well known as one of the most painful things a person can experience.
I've suffered from Peripheral Neuropathy for seven years now- host went light and spared us on all the other nightmares that come with it. Great episode, very much on the ball- also dislocated my shoulder requiring two reconstructive surgeries- the moment they get it back in the socket it's like night and day :) ....still hurts though. Take care everyone!
I've had it for 10 years in both of my legs due to uncontrolled diabetes. And when it first started, it felt like having barbed wire wrapped around both legs and someone yanking from both ends. Been on fentanyl patches and oxycodone for years and it still is unrelenting. Was actually surprised it showed up on this list compared to other conditions.
@@kz03jd I was surprised too- I've had doctors who say they don't believe in peripheral neuropathy , saying it's in your mind. I finally found a great one at Barrow Institute, some of the best neuros in the U.S. and they got me on a crazy treatment- prednisone, oxy, and IVIG . I can get back into my wheelchair now 😆
hey man i wish both of you luck and hope you guys live a happy fun life sorry you guys have these conditions i couldnt imagine how annoying/painful it is have a great day and life my friends :)
Lyrica helps.
@@Patriot-oi7mj Tried it. Thanks for the suggestion :)
My father had a blister under his tooth which gave him a really horrific toothache. He said it's worse than anything he has every felt before while he has had his back broken beatin half to death and among other things he still says a toothache was the worst. Crazy how that is.
Same here and I have had a lot of bad things happen to me as well. It was so bad if I had to continue that way much longer I probably would have just killed myself. Not a big fan of self deletion but there is no way I could have dealt with that for a prolonged period. The worst pain I've ever felt in my entire life. It went from my tooth then into my eye and in my brain. Freaking terrible.

@@dqreps mono almost did me in. 2 weeks of me wanting to off myself.
I had a tooth that got infected and that thing hurt so bad I was willing to shoot it out of my mouth. It went on for 3 days straight m couldn't sleep or anything. Had to go the emergency dentist and had 2 pulled. That was the worst pain ever.
Moral of the story: Brush your teeth
Tetanus is terrifying to witness. I’m an ER vet tech and I’ve seen 1 case of a puppy who had it. Her legs were completely locked outstretched and her head was cocked back. We ended up putting blankets between her legs for support because we couldn’t really do anything but try and make her comfortable. We transferred her to a specialist and she ended up recovering. We got an update about a year later from her owners and I was simply amazed.
Aww poor puppy 😢
Yep, I was in livestock vet work for awhile, and calves with tetany were gruesome to handle, especially since no one bothers to treat a calf for tetanus if they didn't bother to vaccinate.
Lego brick? That is so dumb. I mangled my foot by twisting it 360 degrees called a lis franc fracture and my mid foot was broken in 20 pieces. It was so painful I passed out many times and threw up over and over. I went in for foot surgery for 15 screws and two plates and two bars. When the nerve block wore off I was vomiting and passing out and then crying and didn't sleep unless it was passing out for 20 mins at a time from lots of fentanyl and Xanax. The pain was so excruciating. I also broke my collar bone and ac cup. Was split in two spots. It was cake compared to my foot being mangled. I recently had my jaw broken and it was nothing compared to my foot mangled. I have had tooth aches and back pain and kidney stones and they are nothing compared to my foot mangled. It was soooo terrible I was puking and sweating and crying for days and days. Fentanyl and Xanax didn't touch it. Just awful.
I remember suffering from sciatica for 6 months. It was the most painful condition I had ever had in my life. I was prescribed very strong painkillers and had regular acupuncture and massages to help deal with the pain. Getting up out of the bed in the mornings had me often in tears. Getting in the shower, going to the toilet, lifting, bending, and walking was a battle during those 6 months of excruciating pain.
The shade being thrown at Coyote Peterson is so real 😂 I love both chaneels

I had gallstones as a woman, no kids. I didn't feel the pain in my childhood until last year when I was rushed to hospital when my body was convulsing. Doctors thought it was ulcers, every scan came clear like all the years from unknown abdominal pain. They pressed the ultrasound on my liver and I yelped in pain. My sister had the same and she had pains in the side, my ulcers was telling me my gallbladder was going to pop. Waking up after surgery while wheeling me out of the surgery room with my screaming my head off from the surgery lobby.😅 it's almost a year now, I would never wish gallstones on people, my pain came only later but the stomach pains from age 4 was unbearable, I couldn't eat, I cried all night, I couldn't do sports without clutching my stomach. When the removed the gallbladder, I felt so much better.
I can relate to the pain of a slip disc. I had a herniated disc for three years, but I didn't receive surgery until during the covid pandemic in 2020. Back then I was 23, and the reason I didn't have surgery at first we (including the doctor) thought it was just sciatica so I went to physical therapy, only to later on find out it was more than that. The orthopedic thought it was best to hold off surgery in hopes it'll improve with time, and taking steroid injections did help with the agonizing pain for three years until later on the pain came back. At that point it was disabling me to the point that I couldn't walk or stand normal, and sitting was nearly impossible. I was angry and in so much pain that I'd yell "JUST DO THE SURGERY!!!" But all the doctors refused because it was calcified, and feared that I was going to need fusions. But when I went back to the orthopedic he saw the MRI images and how much I was suffering, he immediately sent me to the hospital to have surgery done the next day. It was hard even after surgery trying to be super careful how I moved, I had to build up the courage to get up with the help of my mom or a walker. But the news is IT WAS WORTH THE SURGERY BECAUSE I'M NO LONGER SUFFERING IN SUCH HORRIFIC PAIN 😃 (YELLING WITH JOY)!! I do have some lingering minor pain and discomfort from time to time, but again tolerable than before surgery. 😁🥳🎊 WOOHOO, no fusions or rods, he just trimmed off where the herniation was!!
I suffer from cluster headaches, I remember the first one extremely clearly and will never forget it. I was 9 and my mom had to take me to the hospital, every little hiss, light, or any movement made my eye feel like it was being squeezed by a potato masher. I remember that swallowing felt like an electric shock to the back of my eye. I rarely get them thank god, it’s happened Less and less as I get older but in my teen years I’ve had some real extreme ones. The worst part of it is that you want to scream on top of your lungs but if you make any unnecessary pressure it only gets worst and worst so you have to suffer as quietly and still as you can.
Yes!!
I feel you brother, on one of my episodes, I ended up in the hospital hitting my head on a wall, somehow it relieved the pain for seconds... At that time, a nurse was lecturing me on how a headache was not an emergency, and how I was wasting their time and resources, until a doc came over and after seeing and listening to me and the symptoms and periodicity, he noticed I was suffering from an episode of cluster headaches... That doc wiped the floor with the nurse!
Yeah its no fun at all the medicine I was on did help but now they don't. Well be seeing my doctor soon hopefully they can do something, this dull to sharp pain behind my eyes is getting old quick.
I suffered from cluster headaches for years until someone told me psilocybin is supposed to help. I dont get them much anymore but back when I did a heavy micro dose of shroom would completely stop it. Idk how it works but I know that it does lol. I enjoy tripping but you dont need to take enough to trip to relieve a cluster headache. I normally take less then a gram and to me it's like a miracle drug. Nothing the doctors gave me anything that work nearly as well.
Yeah those kind of migraines sound absolutely horrible.
Cluster headaches are no joke. I've woken up from them getting sick to my stomach, the longest cluster laster 25 days, everyday multiple times a day I would be nearly brought to my knees. I still get them and honestly I think I'm getting one now.
Are you okay? Its been an hour
What do you take to help with them? Steroids are the only thing that stops mine - it works amazingly well.
@@mikephantasmic you take steroids ah man I better never mess with you
@@magnagamer8256 Lol. Not that kind of steroid.
@@mikephantasmic it was a joke
My most painful experience was a particularly bad asthma attack. It feels like being squeezed around the ribs so hard that it all cramps and even the tiniest attempt to breathe sends shooting pain throughout the entire body. And mentally it feels like drowning, like if you spend just a couple seconds too long underwater and you panic because your body wants to force you to take a breath but you know if you do you’ll breathe in water… Yeah that was the worst for me.
I cardiac arrested twice because I was having such a bad asthma attack.. It literally felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest just like in the cartoons.. it was horrible, definitely worse than child birth. I really hate how pple downplay asthma, like you need to breathe to live..
I have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, cluster migraines/headache, I have had kidney stones, ichave passed and collected almost 50. I currently have gall stones. I can most definitely say that all are more painful than child birth, by a long shot. You think of any and ALL WAYS TO MAKE IT STOP! YOU START THINKING REALLY BRUTAL INSANE THINGS. Thank you for doing this and speaking out about some of these invisible illnesses 🙏 you're a hero to those people ❤️
Gallbladder disease here as well, it's truly agonizing.
Did you have zero pain relief in childbirth?
TN pain is the bane of my existence. I am sorry you've suffered as well. I hope one day .. even one day you feel relief
I'm sitting here post-op after a hysterectomy and oh man! The thought I could still experience something worse that what I'm preventing is a harsh reminder! Doesn't help that I'm one of the most pain sensitive people out there also!
I hope your recovery is comfortable and timely, Ghiaccio. :)
I'm going thru a Myomectomy and waiting in the surgical administration for my surgery, what are the odds?! But reading your post is just making me anxious right now....
Hugs!! Take good care of yourself. No complications! Healing, quickly. ❤️
It’s a month out and I hope your feeling better. My sister had hers done and told me how awful it was. I have had many many surgeries and she is excited to compare her fusions coming up to her hysterectomy. I told her nothing makes you contemplate death like a fusion. She tells me we will see. From her experience it sounds rough.
Seeing cluster headaches top this list gives me a lot of closure having been a victim of it.
I thought the same thing. It was validation that I’m not just a whimp

I’ve had a slipped disk before and it’s actually the worst pain I’ve ever felt and I’m typically pretty good at handling pain. It would shoot down my leg and it’s almost paralyzing, every movement hurts, standing, sitting, bending down, walking. It’s crazy.
Even without childbirth, I get horrible cycle cramps every month that feel like someone was eviscerating me from the inside out. I don’t know if it sounds like endometriosis or fibroids. However, that can put me out for a day.
I can definitely relate. It's horrible. We need our privacy based on this alone. It amazes me they made all bathrooms for men, when we need them.
I can relate. Sometimes its so bad i can barely walk, like all i can do is just curl up and cry. Worst part is my country’s healthcare makes it so its near impossible for me to get help for it, so i hope you’re in a better situation, and can get at least some pain relief
It took from the time I was 12 to the time i was 30 years old for someone to listen to me. And they only did that after 5 years of trying to have a child. Endometriosis is brutal. And you get treated like your a drama queen because it's "just a period". It's not right. If any doctor has told you there is nothing wrong with you without going in laparoscopicaly they are wrong. That is the only way they can tell, by going in and looking for it. Good luck ladies❤
I’ve had kidney stones twice, but they don’t hold a candle to the cluster that I’ve had since I was 29. Suicide headaches is another term for them.
As someone who's had a kidney stone before, it definitely deserves to be on this list. The pain of it getting stuck within your urethra is immediate and there wasn't anything I could do to relieve the pain without strong medication and a hospital trip. The only thing that made it worse for me is getting a nasty UTI a couple of days after being released from the hospital and then having to go back.
I went through a period of cluster headaches between 10-18, and as a soon-to-be-30 year old nothing has even come close; the only physical pain I can remember OR imagine where I genuinely would’ve considered swapping for an equivalent emotional pain.
I've had one of those tooth aches. I also have a high pain tolerance. The only thing that has some close to that pain is kidney stones and back pain from my bone disease. A 3 years ago when I was 12, a nerve underneath my tooth pretty much withered away and died. I had to get a root canal but I swear on my life that was the worst pain I have ever had to experience
Sure, childbirth was the most pain I've ever personally experienced, but I knew the pain wasn't going to go on forever. So, yeah, I believe it when you say there are things that are worse than childbirth.

Probably my most painful experience is getting stung over 100 times by yellow jackets all over my body (and I DO mean every where) when I was 7, I'm now allergic. Funnily enough, I'm not afraid of them and in fact I kinda like bee's. I wouldn't do it again though. Edit: I forgot to mention, I've never forgotten what it felt like. I'm 16 now.
I almost cried when he brought up sickle cells my sister has it and she stays in the hospital she literally called me like 25 minutes ago telling me to tell our mother she needs to go back to the ER 🤦🏽♂️ I can't imagine what she goes through
I've been through a lot of painful things,gallstones, kidney stones, waking up mid surgery, during biopsies ,exploding ovarian tumor (that was badddd), bone cancer pain, ovarian/surg. cancer pain, bulging discs, peripheral neuropathy, stenosis, severe sciatica, surgeries, and childbirth, but the worst for me is chronic pain - nerve, muscular and bone pain (24/7). I'm greatful to not have experienced burns or stabbings, gunshots though.
I had a double hernia In my lower back. Going to the hospital getting 2 shots of medication in my spinal nerve canal without sedation ( I'm nearly 100 % immune to lidocaine, doctor had no clue ) was the worst pain I ever felt. The nurse holding my hand had to pay for her kindness, because I accidentally broke 3 of her middle hand bones from squeezing so hard. Needles pushing your sciatic nerve are no joke 😕
I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. I wouldn't wish this on anyone! Before I was diagnosed, I thought I had a toothache and it was so bad I snatched my tooth out. Ended up in the hospital and it took days to figure out what was causing the pain. Gabapentin is a life saver! I've dealt with pancreatitis, kidney and gallstones stones, ovarian torsion, appendicitis, and nothing comes close to TN.
My mother, father and grandmother all have this horrirble condition. I would not wish it upon anyone. There is a definite reason it is dubbed the suicide syndrome
The absolute worst was the sepsis I developed after a spontaneous esophageal tear and perf. I was so weak I literally could not move at all for about 36 hrs or so. They have to often play guessing games on how to treat it because it mostly involves multiple infections and is so acute there isn’t actually much time. It’s one of those rare situations where they usually treat it before anything is identified, and for me once I started stabilizing, they didn’t have a need to identify because the iv antibiotic/antifungals was working. Think it was Piper and Vanc, and the antifungal was very unpleasant because it was making me break out everywhere. I’ve xp a lot but nothing in my life ever came close to that infection. Painwise.
Thanks for the awesome upload!
Reading all these comments makes me feel so thankful I haven't suffered what you guys have

I knew a guy who survived a grizzly bear but his friend didn't. I had a ruptured appendix last year but, the broblem was that is was very unexpected. I have a very high pain tolerance and the doctors where expecting a normal infection. It was during the operation itself that it turned out to be an actual rupture. I lied in bed for a day before I went to the hospital. I didn't eat anything and it was three days before my exams. I was lucky to have a really good hospital in my city but I still didn't sleep for almost two days In a row. Kidney stones are often in waves. apendicitis is constant. Eventually it all turned out well. I had lots off free time to play old games and didn't have to do half off my exams. I had my own room in the hospital where I was born with nice view on the lake and it was free because there is healthcare in my country.
So, your one friend out ran the other?

@@Killerwale-hk4wy I was just kidding, because one lived, the other didn't - You've never heard the joke 'If you get attacked by a bear, you don't have to outrun the bear, you only have to outrun your friend"?
@@orvil9223 Yes I am aware of that fact. But I answered anyway because it actually is logical and I wanted to clarify that he didn't run but probably clamb. I don't know if grizzlies can climb but they can definatly run way faster than humans.
@@Killerwale-hk4wy True. my bad. I also didn't realize that the attacks had actually happened at the same time. I used it for the purpose of the joke, but, I had actually thought they were two separate attacks - my bad.
Gonna have to agree with the appendix pain. I’m 27 and have dealt with stomach pain and general abdominal issues my whole life, IBS, ulcers and the like. But one morning (completely out of nowhere) I woke up to extreme pain in my stomach, which despite being used to this from time to time this was next level to me, like, it FELT like something was very wrong. So pro tip, if you wake up with sudden and extremely intense pain on the right lower side of your stomach, it’s probably hospital time.
Have you had a baby yet ?
The worst pain I’ve ever experienced was the night my body came down with Crohn’s disease. That pain was so intense that I felt like I was turning into a werewolf, if that was even a real thing. I was rushed to the hospital and every bump from that ambulance increased the pain. Which was a lot. By the time I got to the hospital, they put me in the emergency room to wait..TO WAIT. I was in a wheel chair screaming in pain and everyone in that emergency room was yelling at the nurses to come help me. Strangers I never even knew were supporting me that night. I’ll never forget that crazy pain. Truly thought I was going to die. I felt like I was on the edge of passing out the entire time because the pain was so unbearable. No to mention constantly getting sick all night. And many other things that made that whole experience dreadful.
The worst pain I have ever felt was getting a really hard blow to my down below area. It wasn’t just your average kick to that area, it was way harder. The pain was so unbearable it lasted for almost an hour, and I was sweating profusely and almost vomited twice
Same, its like a really bad painyou are winded for like 2 hours you cant cry out the pain because you are kinda winded but the pain is unbearable you want to scream lr vomit
Try having that pain every 15 mins for 10 hours
I battled gout for decades. It's now under control (most of the time). I've had broken toes and metatarsels (and other bones) and honestly would rather have a broken bone than gout. My sister (post menopause) told me she finally had a battle with it and it was worse than childbirth. I told her it was indeed bad but I doubted her description. She glared at me, noted she'd had three kids by all natural birth and asked if I had ... obviously not, being a guy and all .... "Well, alright, then shut up. It's worse." Yes, ma'am! ;)
I also have episodes of gout, and I totally agree with you and your sister! Literally feels like thousand of needles on the affected joint.
@@zatchyness - Allopurinol daily sure helps keep it away for me, but by FAR the biggest factor (in my case) is to stay hydrated. Let me dehydrate and comes the lava toe.
Without question, gout redefines pain. Imagine your toe getting broken over and over and over, and then gets MORE painful at night. It is horrifyingly painful. I take my meds DAILY. I NEVER want to go through that again, and I suffered for years before getting on medication.
My souschef at a hotel I ran came down with gout. He tried to tough it out but he was in agony. It actually encouraged him to lose weight and get in shape. Was a pretty amazing transformation. He went from this pasty weak dude to being all buffed out. Started tanning too. Looked like a different guy.
My gout is in either ankle sometimes the day it starts, feels like I rolled my ankle. Best description I have is: a puffer fish, covered in razor blades, puffs up and is fighting to get out of my ankle. Typically lasts a week. Sometimes a couple days, but the longest was three weeks. I don’t drink alcohol, cut out red meat by 90%, cut out HFCS by 90%, and take the three main meds. Allopurinol, colchicine, and Indomethacin. Couple of times I put my bare foot right in a pile of snow to bring down the swelling but also numb the pain.
After double jaw surgery my trigeminal nerve in my chin was irritated so for two weeks, two or three times a day it would go off without warning. Felt like I was hit by a baseball bat made out of lightning. The pain was so intense I had to check in the mirror if my jaw didn't dislodge or I didn't bite my tongue. Luckily it always only lasted about a second but it was the most insane pain I ever felt. The worst thing was it could hit me at any time, even in my sleep (and it did). The nerve is still numb 8 months after surgery :(
Number 2 sounds like temporal arteritis. I have that and I can say that it’s very close to cluster headaches. The pain is absolutely unbearable. It was so bad I called my family and told them goodbye because I thought I was going to die. At that point I wish I was dead.
waking up on the wrong side of the bed is pretty bad too. Or maybe I’m just getting old.

I can attest to number 10, I broke my femur when I was 5 and spent 6 weeks in traction, which would've been much longer had I been older. Even worse than the initial break though, after an x ray the bone was overlapping where it'd broke and so needed to be yanked straight before traction. I had already eaten my dinner so I couldn't be put to sleep for it... The doctor tried twice without success before the nurse stopped him from a third attempt and told him it'll have to wait until tomorrow. (my mother told me these details, I only remember pain lol.) That was 29 years ago and the thought of it still makes my spine shudder.
Havent had much pain in my feet. Run on rocks barefoot and climb rocks. Worst I had was horrible migraines where it felt like acid was dissolving my Brian. Was nauseous and every bit of stimulus hurt. Like seeing light or moving I could feel my neurons moving and sending the input to my brain
Out of this list I have had a ruptured appendix (worst pain I have ever felt, literally every sense was overwhelmed with a pain like being stabbed by a white hot poker, I was on the floor rolling around screaming in pain, I had to have 2 shots of morphine just to be able to think). I have also had testicular torsion, that hurt a lot aswell. Of note kidney stone pain is comparable to appendicitis, also kidney stones pain comes in waves, appendicitis can be constant
Yeah that appendix rupture hurts! My mom asked me to watch her house a few years ago and I started throwing up constantly and had this pain in my stomach area… go to the hospital and they just say I’m dehydrated and send me home. Next morning comes I can’t lift my legs to get out of bed, can’t move. Called my grandmother and she called for an ambulance.. end up needing emergency surgery. Ended up being acute GANGRENOUS appendicitis w/rupture. Because clearly when it ruptured it damaged everything around.
@@6ri66s2 ouch i remember one time i had bronchitis as a kid and it got so bad that i had to stay in the hospital being treated by a nebulizer for a while as waking up nearly not breathing one night (and at the time i did not think about this as i am now typing this) but it is like drowning but not having you lungs fill with a fluid but a mucus as your body tries to fight it and i sounded like darthvader just trying to breath without the ventilator(i think it was 2004ish when this happened) and a quick fyi a nebulizer is a medical application device that makes a mist out of a medical substance
I had appendicitis when I was 8 and I vividly recall it being the worst pain I've ever felt, I'm not sure anything else will compare. It's been very long so I'm not exactly sure (the memory of the pain has since faded) but I'm glad I watched this video, feels like my child self wasn't lying at all about it being one of the worse pains imaginable.
Bruh you're a fvk1ng medical veteran at this point
Yeah when my appendix ruptured i was in constant pain for like 2 days coz my dad thought i just had food poisoning and didnt wanna take me to hospital and then the doctors couldnt find out what was wrong for ages
Brown Recluse bite. The bite it's self doesn't hurt, but the necrosis it causes...shew.
I have an aunt who needed a skin graft after getting bitten.
Yeah , you don't want any of that...
Where do you live and did you see the spider? Cause the bite I got from a brown spider hurt , and small area of necrosis but not much pain , no scar. My guess is if you didn’t see the spider it wasn’t one
Rhabdomyalosis is pretty excruciating. And unique feeling. After the first time I was able to identify it the other two. Feels like my legs gain so much weight I can’t move.
As someone who has peripheral neuropathy, I can confirm that it is very painful, it also effects how much I can feel with my hands and feet.
I have it too -- have been suffering with it for almost 9 years now. I'm just curious, what do you to treat the pain? No pressure to answer, I'm just curious, as nothing I"m doing provides more than a tiny bit of help.
My mum had my brother an I with zero pain relief (what a woman)! After she had my brother she developed hemorids and had it surgically treated. She told me that going number 2 for the first time after the surgery was worse than childbirth… And this is a woman with an extremely high pain tolerance!
I concur. Having developed hemorrhoids during my first pregnancy and delivery, (partly from being refused any pain meds from pre-induction through full recovery. Not a Tylenol. It was not by my choice.) bowel movements were agony until the episiotomy healed. I got hemorrhoid surgery (and repair of another issue) after the second baby, and the post-op evacuations were worse. I didn't think that was possible. 30 years later I am still grateful for the repairs.
Thankfully my 2nd OB did not believe in forcing women to suffer. Even more thankful as I had a C-section rather than 20 hours of labor.
C o y o t e Peterson nostalgia, even though it wasnt that long ago
Who?
Love the vid ❤️
These videos are so informative
I’m surprised you didn’t list Rheumatoid Arthritis. It’s usually in the top 5 and I’ve been battling it for over a decade. I get chemotherapy just to try and get some relief.
My mom has that and I got arthritis in my thumbs and knee, but that’s mild compared to other things
@@peterf.229 That's because Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system is attacking the joints throughout. But common arthritis is just caused by wear and tear of joints from use. RA is a disease around 6 out of 100000 diagnosed . Common arthritis is usually found in everyone in some form. 1 in 3 people.
I’ve got a rare genetic disease that makes my bone density very low, in any case I’ve broken both my femurs 3 times total I’ve had over 15 surgeries and I’ve been in immense pain for my whole life. I have rods in my legs and when it gets cold I can feel them.
You deserve better
@@blink-my2955 indeed :(
Yikes! I had low bone density for a while due to my meds and broke my tib/fib. The feeling of bone grinding on bone is something I'll NEVER forget. I have a rod in that leg now and I totally get it when you say you can feel it when it's cold. I feel my hip replacement too.
I have the opposite of ur disease I have extremely elastic tendons and muscles I risk blowing my body up at the joints constantly it’s like feeling them break then resetting themselves and bruising really bad
My god I broke my left femur once and got a rod as well I can’t imagine experiencing that pain over again more than once ❤️
I’ve watched a lot of Peterson’s videos. This guy has been through a lot of pain for the sake of science!
I've dealt with my fair share of pain for an 18 yr old, but nothing has ever compared to my dislocated shoulder. i've never before screamed in pain, each little movement the car made on the way to the hospital had me howling. My parents yelled at me to quiet down just a little and i couldn't. It was the worst pain i have been in and i almost garuntee you it'll hold it's title for a long time.
Man, I had one of my vertebrae dissolved from a straight impact crush at 18, and I still waited a few days before I went to the hospital due to mobility loss. That must have been rubbing some crazy nerves. 😬
Try having your shoulder dislocated 18 times and two shoulder surgeries that's real pain right there
As a medical student, this was very informative video! Great job!
I have headaches 😩 for over 50 years, since 1969, of various types, and the pain goes to my chest, especially the right side. A Specialist I saw in 2010, said I have hemi- cranial continually, which from Latin means, one sided continuous headaches 😩 I have had EEG's, before MRI's existed. I take Fioricette which is a type of a Fiorinal headache medications. Plus in the last 10 years my head cracks on that side of my headaches. It's never remembering what it felt like to feel well anymore. I also have other medical problems such as Type Ii Diabetes for about 20 years. I am a 100% disabled US 🇺🇸 Veteran.
mine was tasting 120 celcius liquid plastic melting my skin and flesh like icecream, lasted weeks + suicidal beg every second
God Bess you and thank you for your service
Fioricette is a blessing. It really is. Without it, I would not function. Even then it doesn't always help. Mine have started to rest in my jaw and teeth. It's been like this since I was three. Nothing on any reports. They like to tell us that when we get one, we get them all. I got more neurological problems after the headaches. You're tough. Hang in there. We're rooting for you and we're in your corner!
Thank you for your service
I’ve had a dislocated kneecap recently. Extremely painful. It took a lot of time and tries to get it back into the correct position. Still recovering from it, it was three months ago.
I had a really bad gallbladder attack a few weeks ago, and that was worse than labor. The pain was a constant 10/10 and not even morphine touched it, plus violent vomiting for hours until the stone passed, apparently it also stretched out my bile duct. I'm waiting to have my gallbladder removed because I just can't go through that again, I'm afraid to even eat anything except rice or applesauce, maybe a few sips of bone broth if I'm feeling adventurous.
One of the worst pains I ever felt was a throat infection. You don’t realize how often you swallow until it hurts when you do it. Drove me crazy. Doctors wouldn’t do anything for it either
you talking about strep? or something worse
I had a testicular torsion a few years ago. I was at work as a firefighter and it definitely was the worst pain ever, and I fell down stairs at a fire and broke my back.
Bro i am sorry for that people think that's funny but it can cause a million complications Do you have your nuts or they are gone
yeah i’m sorry that happened too that’s terrible man. hopefully everything is all good now. like uneek harish said in his question above mine. do you still have your testicles?

@@uneekeditz which one
When I had gall bladder issues near the start of covid.. I suffered with those attacks for almost 2 years just waiting on our doctors to do the surgury. When I first thought it was a flu.. a week went by and it just wasn't going away so I went in finally, i had went into shock and got Iv all that. The longest attack i had was a whole 2 weeks of pure pain, sweating, vomitting, etc! They starting getting less and less on the duration of each attack though but thats the hardest time ever had while being a mom of 2 young children. I already live with chronic pain from a few other conditions but the gall bladder issue was a very long time to me. I lost SOO much weight! Just like giving birth though you can kinda move on and forget about that part of it, just like the gall bladder once it was fixed. But that was soo painful that it caused constant vomitting and near passing out, restless legs too. Each hospital stay/visit i was treated differently each time, some good some very very bad! They tried just giving me nausea stuff but it never made it stop! When they would finally give something for pain thats when I stopped throwing up! You won't believe how many times I had to go in over 2 years! I will never forget what I suffered with though, that was harder than birth 100%. Just thank goodness thats over 🙏
Another 1 for your list is compartment syndrome. I was suicidal for about 12 hours. My doctor explained it to someone as being a 20 out 10 on the scale of pain. The aftermath is also horrible 😢
Is it just me or the guy getting bitten by an ant in the thumbnail look VERY familiar?

I've had a slipped disc which affected my sciatica causing chronic back pain+had to get a root canal due to a mouth infection that turned bad and I can tell you that the only pain that was on the same level as that was the lumbago. It was so intense, I passed out and was bedridden for 5 days (and I'm used to lower back pain since I've had it since 2017). I'm honestly not wishing any of these 3 pains to anyone.
I had a "slipped" or herniated disc while pregnant but I actually found the pain to lesson during my pregnancy. I have degenerative disc disease, have had 7 discs blow at once. Have 3 discs, well my spine, fused at lower back and 7 at my neck into back fused with two metal rods and 12 screws. Absolutely worse pain then giving birth!
I've had three piercings, broken my arm, dislocated my shoulder, twisted my ankle, been in two terrible car accidents, and let me tell you that when I had a toothache, all I could do was pray because the agony was so excruciating . 🙅♀️
I used to work at a shop that built roof trusses, and a coworker of mine at that shop said he'd broken his left femur and it'd damaged some of the quad muscles as a result. I don't remember how he said he'd broken it, but he said the muscles didn't heal properly and some of it was still missing. He said the worst part of his recovery was his truck at the time had a manual transmission with a really heavy clutch.

Thanks so much for doing a piece on Trigeminal Neuralgia, I've had it for 5yrs now and it's the worst thing I've ever experienced. Had brain surgery 2yrs ago and have a huge scar and am missing a piece of my skull but pain intensity has decreased a lot, just not gone. I wanted to die, and was in so much pain I was in no fear of surgery or not making it, the risk was my only hope.
Also had 2, 8lb + babies with no pain relief, TN is FAR worse, at least child birth ends eventually.
I've suffered from Cluster Headaches for more than half my life and there have been multiple times where the only thing that got me through them was the pain of picturing a loved one finding my body. I have had broke bones, I've dislocated fingers while skateboarding, I'm covered in tattoos including inside my lip, I've given myself several piercings, I had dry socket after getting my wisdom teeth extracted. I have experienced physical pain many times in my life. Nothing compares to cluster headaches. I have always described it as someone sticking a hot flathead screwdriver, or a chisel, or an icepick, into your eye socket above your eye, pushing it in about 2 inches, then tilting it upward at a 45° angle and furiously stabbing downward at the nerves behind your eye. They come and go in waves, where there can be up to 12 a day (unfortunately my record..), and they can come everyday for months at a time, then one day they just.. stop all of a sudden for a little while.
I used to get cluster headaches all the time as a teenager and still get one from time to time. The best way I can describe it is a brain freeze that doesn't go away. They often don't last that long though. There were a few times where I called my mom to come get me from school and by the time I got home, I was ok. Every minute takes a year to go by. No joke
Vitamin D and Magnesium
Boy were you right in including shoulder dislocation on your list. I dislocated my right shoulder and had to undergo a six hour surgery to repair the damage. The head of Orthopedic Arm Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine afterwards told me he had never seen such damage. The normal surgery is a 1 and a half hour procedure. No pain I´ve felt in my life comes even close to what I felt that day. I finally understood why people sometimes wish for death when in such circumstances.
Dude! I very nearly passed out when they took xrays for my dislocated right shoulder. Popped it out 6 times in total lol put it back in 3 times myself
I have sickle cell disease (since birth) it’s some of the most painful experiences ever! I have them almost twice a year and it’s horrible.
i remember drinking an energy drink while having a cavity, the c4 got right into the infection and it was insanely painful, got that tooth pulled as soon as i could
Kings of pain... good show
Thank you for including Neuropathy. It can indeed be excruciating! I can feel like a cross between being burned and being electrocuted, all at the same time. It surprised me that people have used morphine patches as because it is a nerve pain, opioids really don't so much. Another extreme pain, that COULD be tacked onto toothache pain is something called, Dry Socket. It happens after getting a tooth pulled. When you get a tooth pulled, blood pools in the cavity where the tooth was. You actually want this. Because if it comes out, the nerves that were connected to the tooth are exposed to the air. I have had both toothaches and dry socket. I would gladly take any toothache over dry socket!!
I had dry socket once I knew what it was it hurts so bad and then I had to go back to the same dentist to have him fix it
I've had trigeminal neuralgia for about 20 years, but it's been in remission fo the past 3 years (i hope it never returns). I had a craniotomy, brain surgery called MVD microvascular decompression. The surgeons put a piece of Teflon felt between the trigeminal nerve on my right side and the twisted misshapen blood vessel that had wrapped around the nerve and destroyed the protective myelin layer of the nerve. About 10 years after the surgery I realized the attacks were less often and less painful until one day it stopped. I used to wear a lidocaine patch on my cheek when getting my teeth cleaned which helped prevent an attack. Cold air blowing was my worst trigger.
I was waiting for trigeminal neuralgia to show up. I remember having half my face and and teeth being in full pain mode for 3 minutes every 15 minutes for a week. It most likely originated from a bad tooth, but with all my pain receptor lighting up, it was impossible to tell which one. Luckily a shrink friend of ours suggested some strong crazy pills, and they seemed to slowly do the job and the pain got isolated to a couple of teeth, that I swiftly removed the nerves. The pain stopped, but at the final day, I was high for the first time in my life from those pills. After that, I started growing my first grey hair... at 25 years old. It was unbearable, and made removing half my teeth seemed like a good idea.
I have gout. My worst was by far when not one, but both my big toes AND one of my ankles were swollen. This was right before i had it diagnosed (literally went to the ER that night and they diagnosed it) i was on the verge of tears, couldnt walk, laying in the hospital bed just seemed to make it worse. Ive had gout since i was around 20, im now 27, but that was the worst flare up ive ever had. I have colchicine for it now, but i only take them when i have flare ups, along with loading up on ibuprofen.
one I think you forgot is the dreaded ice cream headache. They may be brief, but definitely I would rank them among the top 5 worst pains I have ever had
As someone who's been through childbirth 7 times, I definitely wouldn't want to go through anything MORE painful 😣
Aye I step on 7 lego bricks thats one off the most painful ever
@@Zaiden. 😯
I just found out I'm about to go through childbirth again in about 7 more months 👶
Maybe stop having babies and you know, don't be irresponsible :/ people like you just don't think about the rest of the world do you.
Awe prayers for healthy baby you got this!
I’ve had a herniated disc at one point. I was a roofer at that time and though I hated every second of it, I still had to roof w that disc bulging and pinching my nerves. Laid shingles on my knees for a few weeks and it went away on its own but comes back if I lift too much or workout too hard. Hasn’t affected me in a while though. Thank god. Worst pain I’ve felt in my life and I don’t wish it on my worst enemy
I've had multiple disc issues, a few times I had to go to the ER. They gave me 2 shots of dilaudid, which is more potent than morphine. Didn't do much for my pain. Went home and had to lay on the flat of my back for 2 months, straight. Was unable to move my extremities to even reach for a phone or move my head. Couldn't leave the bed to shower or go to the bathroom for months. Felt like even moving my eyes side to side hurt. 2 months of trying to stay as still as possible disconnects your brain from your body and it's very emotionally traumatic. Worst pain I've ever experienced.
@@yeti_369 it’s a terrible pain. Luckily I was able to move but it’s a pain like no other. It’s so sharp and legit takes my breath from me. Sharpest shot of pain I’ve ever felt and I couldn’t imagine what you went through. My dad had the same problem as me as he was a roofer along w me on my crew. He was bed-ridden for two months as well. He could barely move. I consider myself slightly lucky, though still had even a fraction the pain you had.
For number one there are other neuralgias with one that can develop from shingles that can happen around body which literally leave you in constant chronic pain with someone I know feeling like they are on fire for year's now and I've seen someone on Facebook deal with the similar for 20+ years a lot of these pains on the list end at some point but the uncureable chronic pains that can happen can be debilitating and can ruin your quality of life
Agree with you. I have suffered from a few on this list and yes they are horrible, but nothing compares to chronic pain every day that does not go away. I suffer from migraines, fibromyalgia, degenerative disk disease, arthritis, IBS. Iam a chronic pain patient and take pain killers and some other mds too help
Anyone take a second to actually focus on this, because the music in the background is rad af. They seem to combine a Lo-fi style waiting room piano with intense orchestral action music. Not sure who's idea it was, but I'm here for it.
I have reoccurring mild cluster headaches and let me tell you from personal experience it is one of the worst pains I have ever felt in my life. Mine last anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour and it feels as if someone is repeatedly beating your head with a metal hammer. I have woken in the early mornings crying and rolling around in pain. If you also have these or you know someone who does please reply with your experience with them, and I hope they go away or you can tough through the pain.
The pain is a 8.5 to 9 out of 10 for me. I have gotten used to the extreme pain at this point.
I used to get them yearly and they would be daily for months. I would get 10-15 a day but they lasted like 5-20 minutes at a time. Medicine doesn't work because it can't work fast enough. I haven't had them in years but I dread the day when they do. And the worst part is that when I used to get them, most of my day was spent driving for my job, so I had to drive with that mess. Had to pull over alot to keep from getting into an accident
I suffer from them too. It feels like someone or something is trying to pry my face open from the inside with a crow bar. They tend to last about 20 to 30 mins. I haven't had them since July of 2021 so I'm thankful for that but I know they are coming back. My prayers to you and all who suffer from these.
I'm a sufferer myself. I'm surprised there are so many sufferers and yet most people including alot of doctors haven't even heard of Cluster headaches. They still get misdiagnosed as Migraines alot of the time.
A toothache can give you a headache a little less severe then what cluster headaches are described as. Anything worse then that I wouldnt know but I feel for anyone that has them.
I thought I had testicular torsion when I was younger, but it ended up being calcification of the testicles. Nothing you can do about it, but luckily it stopped hurting soon after. It was pretty painful. Probably not as much as anything on this list, but it felt like they were intermittently being squeezed super hard.
I had testicular torsion. It felt like someone was ripping them out. I couldn’t stop shaking and passed out from the pain. It was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. I had my tricep tendon completely severed and that was nothing in comparison. Morphine didn’t even help.
2020 I passed kidney stones for the first time in my life, went to the ER for it, blood clots freaked me out like no other, I've been stabbed (in my back twice), shot in my left side, hit by a bat, took a brick to the head, landed on a board with a nail in it that went through the bottom of my shoe & all the way through my foot, which you can see it through the top of my foot & shoe, rolled my ankle twice, jammed fingers, but nothing like passing kidney stones, lost a job over it, because I couldn't take the pain during my shift.
awh man :( hope life going well for u now man
@@countqracula6244 Thanks, so far, so good, no complaints here. I'm one of those people who's life is dictated by Murphy's Law, & if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all, but through it all, I remain resilient & positive, I take everything as a learning experience, or a refresher course as a reminder for something I forgotten about. Stronger than what, or who tried to destroy me, or take me down. I'm not going to allow anything, or anyone make me fold. Overcame all odds & obstacles in my life. Just glad to be around still.
I have given birth and I had gallstones for 7 years and only came to know about my condition when my gallbladder was nearly full and could've ruptured any day !! Lucky, I got it removed in an emergency surgery. The gallbladder pain was the worst. 😭 I felt scared of the pain at every onset.
The guy that came up with Lego is a testimony to the Monday after superbowl is least productive day
As someone who has had kidney stones 3 times in my life I can honestly say that it depends on size. Sure all are unpleasant, but my first hospitalized me and was the worst thing I've ever felt in 39yrs of life. The 2 after that smaller in size were still not fun, but honestly part of the horror is not knowing what is wrong with you the first time. You honestly don't know if you're going to die and panic makes the pain even worse. I was wondering where this might end up on the list.
I also had three kidney stones in my life, the first one being the worst, but I immediately recognised It as It was. I was very aware of stones in my kidneys and my doctor explained me how to recognise a kidney stone coming out. Giving birth Is like a walk in the park if compared.
This video is a representative list out of a lot more things that can cause excruciating terrible pain. So far the worst pain I experienced was when I developed acute pancreatitis. This is when the digestive enzymes that are made by the pancreas become active in the pancreas instead of the small intestine. When this happens these digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas, which is very painful. I had to be admitted to the hospital for treatment when this happened.
I actually have the acute vaso-occlusive pain crisis and yes, its terrible. I first got one when I was 5 years old and they haven't stopped since.
i had a tooth ache. i had just started an internship 800 miles from home. my knees buckled in pain from biting a banana. i had to change the way i breathed. next day i got an emergency root canal. the root canal itself wasnt bad because my tooth was 99% dead. yes, i rather give birth to twins without pain meds than go through that again and i sliced the skin off my thumb once. (knife slipped when making dinner and cut the soft part of the thumb). because it was only like a square centimeter it didnt hurt too bad. but for that split second, it was intense pain. i rather go through the tooth ache than have a large part of skin pealed off and my uncle had kindey stones. now he is an old farmer that can take a lot. he almost past out in the ambulance from pain one time
I had shingles when I was 25 and it was horrendous - it felt like a candle was being held up against my back too closely. Surprised it didn’t make the list!
My husband had it in his eye to scalp. He had to get eye surgery , his lid always was droopy after and he had dent on his bald head. My mom had it from stomach to back. Even though its gone she complain and is on rx
Nah no way shingles is more painful than natural childbirth.
@@kittymeow90 so why do women have more than one child? I’d never elect to have shingles again in my life.
My grandma told me the pain of childbirth is different for each woman. She had five children, and she said the pain was also different for each birth.
I agree. I had my first child with terrible pain for 8 hours, my second child? No pain at all. Very weird actually.
It's such a different kind of pain experience because you have time to anticipate it, and it goes with one of the happiest experiences of our lives. I was in labor for a really long time but for most of it I just felt like I was having period cramps. Last couple of hours it got intense but I was too excited to focus on pain.
I think there was an episode of The Wildthornberries about a stone fish. It was so sad, but a great episode.
