What's that? It sounds rather painful. BTW are you back and running? Or still in recovery?

I had my tonsils out and a week later something burst in my throat.The pain recovering from that was atrocious....urgh and it took weeks to heal.Everything I ate was like razorblades..

Yes was out running last night it was wonderful!!! twenty minutes but knee was great,It was too cold to stay out and I didnt want to risk it.x

Abscess under an impacted wisdom tooth. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't think about anything else; felt like beating my head against the wall and howling (in fact, I think I did.................!) By contrast, when the end of my finger got ripped off, I didn't feel a thing...................

Cramp in both my legs, I thought they were going to fall off. Then I realised it was cramp and it didn't really hurt - maybe a little for a second - but only cramp.

I'm very lucky and never really had anything painful happen to me.

(Although I forgot my swimming googles once and I've had a galss of orange juice straight after brushing my teeth.)

The worst for me has to be sharp back pain brought on by sneezing! It made my back go into spasm and the pain was like nothing I've ever felt before. I took months to recover from something as innocuous as that.

I once ran into a scaffold pole set in concrete playing beach volleyball in Portugal. My collar bone didn't actually snap until 4 days later when I was going to pick the phone up at home. My entire right arm dropped like a stone!.. My sister in law was standing right beside me and she very kindly threw up all over me when she heard the bone crack and saw my face???.....Not the worst thing that ever happened, but funny looking back.~

Tooth ache due to abscess, I wanted to cut my head off! But thankfully I got the toth out instead. Worst week ever!

Ruptured achilles. A dodgy tackle in football put me off my stride and I went over awkwardly. The pain was unbelievable and I was shaking (probably with shock) and though I'd broken my leg. Strangely, it's the other achilles that seems to be troubling me during my marathon training. 

Thrown off a horse, cracked my head (wearing a helmet), brain swelling, scrapes/bruises/grazes to match.

Horse spooked, spun into me, knocked me over and trampled my ribs (broke them)

Another horse injury: Fell off and dislocated left shoulder

Abscess in tooth, it got root-canalled in the end. Very unpleasant.

Fell over ice-skating, landed on my wrist and it bent inwards on itself and fractured

Probably my worst ones!!!
