Best and Worst

What is the worst pain you have ever experienced? What happened?

  1. Its hard to choose what is the worst, nothing stands out in particular. I've broken my arm, had several stitches, sprained many places many times, had a baby, etc. I would probably say that the worst pains I ever had were my stomach pains caused by my IBS. Especially when I first had IBS and I would get these pains all the time and hard. They get so bad that when I'd be walking or even driving I would have to just stop and wait it out because it's like my entire body collapses in pain. I actually realized that my IBS pains are similar to having contractions, so when I was having a baby it really didn't seem that bad to me. And I was under anesthesia while giving birth...otherwise that probably would have been the worst pain.

  2. I am not sure, but I would have to say that having an amoeba is right there at the top. I remember throwing up as I stepped off a bus and then later laying in bed with terrible cramps and in so much pain I couldn't move. Yeah. I know. Pretty gross.

  3. My first thought was that the worst pain I can think of is when a piece of dirt or eyelash gets behind my contact lens.

    But then I realized that the absolute worst pain I feel is when I know that one of my children (or grandchildren) is hurting or struggling through the trials of life. That pain can be physical, mental, or emotional. It helps me realize the pain our Father in heaven felt as he witnessed Christ in Gethsemane and on the cross. And it also helps me know the pain Christ must feel when one of us struggles through trials here on the earth, whether it be because of sin or because of natural trials we all suffer.

  4. Truthfully, I'm not that accident prone and have only experienced one minor broken finger and two stitches in my hand during my lifetime. I've never been through childbirth or had surgery. So, honestly, I'd have to say the worst pain I've felt thus far in my life would have to be when Shawn and I had our failed adoption (before we received Brayden and McKell). After all the failures in getting pregnant and doing fertility treatments, it felt like being kicked when I was already down when adoption failed too. Getting back up to start all over again was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. Fortunately, it proved to be a blessing and strengthened me in so many ways...so I can't complain!

  5. Tough one. Old age is a constant pain. I've had appendicitis, hernia surgey, knee surgery, and constant back pain. The worst pain would have to be the remorse I experience for my mess ups, and disappointments due to false and unreasonable expectations.
