What is the most painful medical procedure you have ever had?

@ambiepam tooth extractions with no anaesthesia.

I'm sorry they botched the spinal tap on you and on your mom. The worst medical procedure I had was when I was 16 and getting my wisdom teeth cut out. They had to come out because they were coming in sideways and pushing the rest of my teeth towards the front of my mouth. The dentist doing the procedure numbed me just fine but, by the time he was working on the last wisdom tooth, the numbing agent was wearing off. I told him it hurt and he told me to bear with the pain and he'd be done as fast as he could.... He cut around the wisdom tooth on the lower right and missed a bit. He yanked the tooth out and I started screaming! He ripped my gums from that back tooth all the way to my front teeth! I screamed I was going to kill him and broke the leather strap they'd put across my body to hold me in the chair. The nurse jumped on me to hold me in place and I threw her in the floor and headed for that dentist! He crawled under his desk yelling for me not to hurt him! Mom heard me screaming in the waiting room and came running back and grabbed me, telling me she wasn't going to let me hurt him! Mom got me back in the chair but told that dentist not to touch me again. When mom was sure I wasn't going to go for him again, she went next-door and asked my regular dentist to come look at the mess the oral surgeon had made of my mouth... My regular dentist put stitches in to close the wound after pumping me full of more pain meds. I'm still scared to go to a dentist but will if the pain gets too much for me to bear otherwise. You might not want to share gory details but I sure will.

Having my skull cut open to repair a blood clot on my brain from a car accident. The recovery was long and very painful. I had severe headaches for months. First month it hurt to move, I have holes, crapes, scratches, broken pelvis bone, broken nose and bruised all over since I was thrown out of the car. It was bad.

Probably getting stitches in my eyebrow when I was 4. It really hurt, and I was very scared as well. I was screaming and kicking It took like two or three people to hold me down. At the end it was kind of a riot since I got a lollypop for being a "good girl." Ha, what a joke! Thank God it was there though I got hit with a shovel full of dirt. If it had half an inch lower I could have lost my eye.

I would have to say my GB surgery. That was way more involved than expected and I wound up in the ICU for a week.

Not trying to be a copycat, but mine was a spinal tap as well. I don't have any idea just what that doctor hit with that needle, but the pain was so intense I passed out cold, woke up with tons of doctors, etc. because they claimed I coded. Um....I don't want another spinal tap, ever. I don't blame you a bit, Amber.

I'm not sure... I have a high pain threshold and can endure a lot without screaming... moaning, yes, screaming only when a bee unexpectedly stings me in the butt, and then it's just one short scream.

I was in bed for months after that road accident a few years ago that was the worst experience of my life

Child birth by far. I had surgeries on my leg due to an accident as a child. There was some pain. And I had my wisdom teeth extracted which was painful and I had cosmetic surgery on my ear which hurt. BUT NOTHING compared to the pain of Child Birth. I literally saw my life flash before me both times.

Bless your heart, I'm so sorry you and your mom had such painful experiences. I've had many procedures and surgeries over the years, but the worst, strangely enough, was an NG (nasograstic) tube. I had an intestinal blockage and the tube goes in your nose and into your stomach.

Total horror movie feeling just reading your post. I was 8 and had had horrid infected gums. The dentist stuck a novacain needle into those gums 8 times before he started to work.

Getting a shot of some type of medication in my back. The doctor warned about the pain with this particular med and said the pain would last for about 5 minutes. It was the worst pain I have ever had in my life times ten. The next most painful thing would have to be my knee replacement and then a root canal that I had about 30 years ago. I'm sure they've improved by now. I've had a kidney stone; but it didn't hurt as bad as that back injection.

They gave me one when they tested me for menigitis. It sucked! Meningitis as a hole was one of the most painful experiences of my life. Is birth a medical procedure? Cause I gave birth all natural. That sucked.

I only had dental operation when I was young and the dentist pulled out my tooth decay , my gums were bleeding and it made me hurt.

Hope they do better if you have to have another one

That sounds really painful. You must have felt like they didn't really care about you.

I'm gonna go with spinal tap as well.
