23 People Experienced The Most Excruciating Pain

17.

When I was nine months pregnant my doctor accidentally broke my water while checking my dilation during the checkup. Since my water was broken my body got the signal to go into labor. One problem though, I was less than 1cm dilated. They had to manually dilate me by shoving a balloon up into my cervix and fill it with water until I was 7cm. I had no pain medicine and it took three hours. Childbirth was nothing, NOTHING, compared to this.

Couple years ago I got shingles. On a pain scale of 1-10 it was a 9. Wouldn’t wish that pain on my worst enemy.

My tonsils expanded to be bigger than my windpipe and started suffocating/crushing me from the inside. It’s cool though, got those f*ckers chopped out.

Infected and abscessed tooth that I let go thinking it would just “go away”. The pain was so excruciating that I was incessantly swishing ice water around in my mouth for 3 days until I finally said I would go to the dentist. The infection had spread all the way through my jaw and up into my face. That day was the day that I was schooled on how a tooth infection can spread to your brain and kill you.
