If it were a two or above I wouldn't be able to answer because it would mean a pause in the screaming.

never understood that. When usually asked when I was in the hospital I'd answer truthfully, being that the worst thing I could imagine

having my skin peeled off, and every bone in my body snapped in half, my pain level was elven.

eleven. They didn't believe me though. :

just say 8, then they give you good pain relievers.

haha- i've been burnt by that question at the hospital, as well, as i've seen my own bones twice (and i don't mean via x-rays). anymore,

they always seem to follow up with "and how would you rate other pains?"-type questions, but i dunno if that's become the norm, or if there

just something about it in my medical records (i rated the pain in my leg a "strong 4" when it turned out to be broken)

yupp. 8. but you have to have a good face to go with it

I already have access to the good pain meds.

Thus far, worst pain ever was having an ear infection blow out an ear drum. Dislocating my thumb was nothing by comparison.

i think the worst pain i've ever had was either when i had a temporary pin in my arm, holding my left radius, ulna, and the shattered bones

in my wrist in place after it had been rebroken, and the exterior end of the pin (it stuck out of my arm, for later removal) froze, due to

me getting snow in my cast during an Ohio February (slipped on ice and was off-balance, due to fullarm cast, and fwhoop, down), or when they

packed a massive wound in my leg (maybe 20" long scar now, starts on the top of my foot in front, and crawls up and around my leg, to my

calf, near the top) with gauze soaked in Dakon's Solution- i.e., diluted bleach (literally).

the frozen pin was probably a 6, but the ache in the marrow and interior bone lasted for days, and was hell. the woundpacking was maybe a

strong 7 or weak 8?

I'm not putting "competing with Mad for general body fucked-up-ness" on my to-do list

you guys would appreciate this revised pain scale.

"You guys, if you feel like you may become violently ill in the near future, stay away from red food. "

the worst pain I ever had was when a dentist stuck a spike directly into an inflamed tooth nerve pulp without anaesthetic,

then twisted in an attempt to hoik it out.

Clint_D: yeah

haha- erm, the one time the dentist spiked a nerve directly with an anaesthetic needle, i... got aroused. to the extent that the hygienist

assisting him commented "well, SOMEONE's a little kinky, aren't they?"

*wishes for a facepalm emote. again*

a friend who said something very similar after I blogged about it! You're not him, are you?

haha- i don't *think* so?

ZOMG, there's *two* of you out there!

why am I not suprised to see you in this plurk, Mad?

I was going to comment but you've pretty much summed it all up, fucker <3

Always say 6 or higher. You get better drugs.

eh, by the time i actually *go* to the hospital, good drugs aren't even a question anymore, honestly.

My worst pain was not near so bad I suppose. Childbirth, ruptured ovarian cyst, or strangulated hernia... they all suck though.

Oddly enough the hernia was the only one that got decent pain meds, though the epidural was almost as good except you can't move anymore.

those pains sound pretty unbearable, thank you!

hurtinga 2, just reading this.

Snailrind: TY HaaH

Play Mortal Kombat and imagine I am the fighter... That's the worst pain I can imagine.

I can imagine much worse pain than I've ever experienced thus far.

HighDef: ditto

..though having a bone graft hammered into my upper jaw the other day wasn't fun.

The procedure wasn't too bad, but the aftermath was worse than any of my 17 root canals.

still, the feeling of hammering inside your face, as it displaces all the air and liquid around your cranium..

as you can probably imagine, it's a solid 3
