Having a catheter removed. Only took a fraction of a second to yank out, but... my god.

Descriptions baby! I am washing down Tylenol #3 and amoxicillin with Smirnoff and I need detailed accounts of other people's misery. Thanks!

For me it's kidney stones and nothing has even come close.

Does it just hurt when they come out or what?

It starts ominously. From maybe 6-8 hours after I wake up, my urine just dribbles all day. I have to constantly pee pretty much every 5 minutes, and I always feel like I have to pee. That's obnoxious, but it's just a sign of things to come.

First, the pain is a little dull right where my kidney is. It builds and builds until it's a sharp pain. I don't know what to compare it to. This is when the vomiting starts for me, I get nauseas and the pain gets worse and worse. Last time I pretty much covered my bathroom in vomit because it was hard to aim in the toilet. That was lovely.

Then the pain gets even worse. It's in the worst spot I can imagine, pressure doesn't help, and I'm pretty much writhing at this point. My first one lasted for maybe a couple hours and my second one lasted overnight.

They don't hurt at all when they come out. It's a bit of a burning feeling and a hell of a relief, but it's not that bad.

Mine were about 2 or 2.5 times that size. Imagine that goign from your kidney to your bladder and then out. And I guess they get bigger than that, too.

[/ QUOTE ]Haha, how do you describe it? I guess it was like if the catheter wasn't removed, but rather just instantly heated to flesh-burning temperature. It kind of felt like the inside of my dick was on fire for a moment. If I had to choose between five seconds of that level of pain or death, it would be tough. Maybe I'm lucky the nurse was able to yank it out successfully on the first try?

Awesome descriptions guys. Keep em coming, my pain has receded from the worst sharp pain I have ever felt to a more general incredibly painful ache in the entire left side of my face. I pressed on my face next to my nose a bit to test things out and was rewarded with a feeling as if a dremel tool were boring into my skull.

I'll obviously never know, but someone described to me a kidney stone feels as bad as labor pains. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Do not. Scratch. Your. Cornea. Ever.

Picture me driving at night through a hurricane to the emergency room screaming continuously, almost totally blind from the scratch & irritation of one eye and the crying like a little bitch from the other one, and then begging the doctor to take my eye out of my head.

They put these numbing drops in my eye, but they only work for like 15 minutes a pop, and they can only give it 3 times, because anymore and your cornea will die and slough off the front of your eyeball.

That was the night that I learned this neat little fact: Your cornea has the highest density of nerve endings in your entire body.

Incredibly, your cornea also regenerates faster than any other tissue. 48 hours later it was like it never happened.

Nothing has ever come close to this. Gastritis was the next worst, itself horrendously painful. I would put it at about a 3/10 on the Abraded Cornea Scale.

Borodog,

I've never had my cornea scratched, but I can say that gastritis is pretty effing terrible. I think any pain in the gastrointestinal tract is gonna be pretty awful.

It'd be fun to be the guy that figured that one out.

I was once walking down a hallway that had a painted cinder block wall. I was absent mindedly running my hand along the wall. My fingernail caught a paint chip and it ran underneath my fingernail all the way to the base. Horrible pain, but only for an instant. It made the all the hair on my head, back, arms, stand up and also made me involuntarily drop what I was carrying in my other hand. What really sucked was that when I went to get it removed they had to cut off the fingernail to get it out. Oddly enough, the numbing of the fingernail was the worst pain. They had drive a syringe of novacaine underneath my nail. Im freaking out now just thinking about it.
