What was your most physically painful experience?

Not sure which was the most painful, but all of these happened within the last year.

  1. PROPEL Orthodontic procedure- cut my estimated time with braces in half, but to do so they drilled >100 holes in my gums with a manual screwdriver looking thing. By the time he was halfway through my bottom row of gums, he realized the screwdriver was dull, so he replaced it and went over the bottom row he had already done. Was awake the whole time and had about a dozen local anesthetic shots in my mouth. Still was terrible. Left with the worst headache I've ever had, couldn't feel my face and was drooling blood when I left. Video

  2. Fixing a skin bridge. Like NSFWthis, but not as extreme. Again, was awake. Local anesthetic shot right in the tip.. The urologist didn't wait for the anesthetic to kick in, either. He just pulled the scissors out and started cutting. It sounded like he was cutting construction paper. Got stitches, too, but by then the anesthetic kicked in. Took a month and a half to stop bleeding from my dick. Also broke my ankle a week before I had the procedure and had to deal with changing my bandage while scooting in a computer chair to the bathroom.

  3. Dealing with my broken ankle. Breaking it didn't hurt as bad as dealing with it after. They didn't give me much pain medicine for it, and what I did have I had to take with food. Had to try to time the medicine right otherwise I'd wake up in the middle of the night feeling like my foot was on fire until I could scoot to the fridge in my computer chair. Taking a shower also sucked.

  4. Got an infected tooth removed and they put a metal screw in its place (eventually for an implant).
