What is your earliest memory of intense physical pain?

[Carbon]

I think i was 3 or 4 yrs old, i was in my grandfolk's Rambuta/lychee orchard, waddling around then getting "swarmed" by fire ants. Mind you this was in Indonesia, where the ants were mad-ghetto.

probably going over my handle bars on my bike when i was like 5, i ripped the skin off most of my stomach.

Like 2 years ago, i fell ice skating. I knocked out my front tooth, broke my nose, and knockced open my chin. That was the easy part, the part that hurt was when the doctor shoved my tooth back in, with no numbing stuff....

Im that hardcore.

I can't remember... I know these things hurt, but I don't recall the pain in any real way. When I was like three I took a hard tumble, didn't bother to tell anyone until my mother touched my shoulder and I yelled... turns out I had broke my collarbone. When I was like thirteen or something I was waterskiing, got my arm caught in the rope in heavy waves, and dislocated my elbow. I remember swimming to the boat hurt like mad but I can't recall pain... hmm odd

I mean, when asked to describe pain, although I know I have felt it, I can't describe it.

learned my most painful expierence at my parents house in central mexico. the "rotting lime" was actually a bee/wasp nest, the buggers were 2'' long, red, and dont like their nest to be touched.....

2 years old - Cutting my hand open with a Swiss army knife while playing GI Joe on the kitchen counter. Hilarious? I think so.

earliest membrance of pain: age 7, going down a hill on a skatboard, on my knees. hit a crack, board stopped, i didn't...never even got my hands out in front of me. whole left sife of my face was road rash...2 days before school pictures.


most intense pain was popping my knee out of joint...or maybe the time my foot got run over by a fork lift

Earliest memory of intense pain...first time i drank hot chocolate, and everytime after...

when i was 6, i hyperextended my elbow. Sounds weak now, but as a 6 year old, it was the worst pain ever!

Most recently breaking my femur last New Years Eve, in the championship game of a hockey tournament we were hosting..

[gimp]

I had a lot of good injuries when I was little, but I have no memory of the actual pain. Last year my ribs were bent about three inches, my sternum twisted, then broken, most of the cartalige scraped off, and a pair of bars about a foot long each were clamped to the muscle in my sides to hold it all in the new position. That was the worst pain I've ever been in, and when I try to think of being in pain, that is all I can remember.

awwwwww come on!!! with a name like gimp, I was hoping for something way more atrocious.

[RoamingStorm]

well my elbow constantly dislocated, or fracturing my foot seeking no medical attention for two months *last summer. I had appendectomy at the age of 6, stabbed with a 2 inch butterfly blade *lower back* no medical attention sought again nothing too serious I suppose

Last year I had my tonsils, adenoids, and uvula removed. It was a pretty painful 2 weeks. Not sure it was the most intense though.
