Esophageal spasms - If you don't know what these are or feel like you'll think you're having a heart attack. An extremely painful one.

Had a stomach bug one time or maybe it was just bad diarrhea but I woke up from a dead sleep one night, screaming from unimaginable abdominal pain. Felt like something was crawling around inside my intestines shredding them.

Trying to man-up and not take my pain meds after shoulder surgery was rough.

However, I had a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty at age 21 (remove tonsils, uvula, and back part of the soft palate) for sleep apnea, and that was a beeznotch. I couldn't eat for two weeks and was up all night with horrible pain radiating around my neck and to my ears. It fixed my sleeping/snoring problems, but the pain was horrible.

I once had mono so badly that I lost nearly 40 pounds in a month. Didn't leave my dorm room for two weeks, and if not for a large stock of water and ritz crackers I might have died because I lost my phone in a bit of a haze and had no clue where it or anything really was.

Wasn't highly painful and quick, it was like a long, dull, never ending ache that never went away. Far worse than any bones I ever broke.

I had the same problem. Caused me to have sleep apnea. Had them removed 5 years ago. Tonsillectomy as an older adult is 2-3 weeks of pure hell but it changed my life. I highly recommend having them removed.

That's a very close second for me. I went to the ER a couple of times before they decided to take them out. Matter of fact, before they sent me to a specialist, the doc in the ER talked to me about malingering. After the specialist was like you should have had them taken out the first time I wanted to go back and punch him in the face.

I cut a hunk out of my thumb one time and it was deep enough that the nerves were exposed. I was keeping it covered and compressed on the way to the ER. But then, I wanted to see if the bleeding had slowed down. When the air hit those exposed nerves...that's the worst thing I've ever felt.

Knock on wood- I haven't experienced anything horrible. I cut my leg open with a 4 1/2" angle grinder (abrasive blade) and did not know it till my pants got wet from the blood. The gash in my leg did not hurt bad until the doctor had to grab an iodine brush and open it up wider (by using some spreader thing) to scrub out all the fragments.

In HS football we were practicing for the playoffs my senior year and I tackled our fullback. He was the one monster every team has. I just did whatever I could to bring him down. In this instance I dragged him down after basically jumping on his shoulders. I ended up in a sitting position on the ground and the assisting tacklers jumped on me in such a way that my spine did like an accordion.

It's like they say, fish hit. I uncontrollably flopped around a bit. Had to get picked up by an ambo. Luckily, it was just deep bruising in my back, but they couldn't do a ton to help with the recovery (no operation). They just gave me a shot of demerol, I woke up like 24 hours later. That was my last snap of football.

Had my nose cauterized a few years ago because I was getting at least one bad nosebleed every day.
The cauterization didn't hurt THAT bad, but what it felt like when they did it, I felt that exact feeling for seven full days. That feeling didn't go away for a moment.
It felt exactly like that split-second before you sneeze. Doesn't hurt THAT bad, but imagine that feeling not going away for an entire week.

I have two herniated discs and the doc said I should wait a few years to have the surgery because they are updating the technology...or something like that.
I bought myself an inversion table and it is the tits.
I haven't healed myself for real, like I still can't do any cardio besides an elliptical, but I don't have blinding pain anymore unless I've done something stupid.

That's bad. Jammed my neck similar to what happened to you and that was misery for weeks.
