Sciatic nerve inflammation. Worse than abcess tooth. Worse than shattered knee. Well, bullet in the head, hope I don't live through that.
Across shoulder, down back then swam into smaller shoal and got stung on forearms.
Crawled onto beach in agony.
Still got scars after 35 years.

With jellyfishes such as these,
Particularly Portuguese.

I dropped an axe on my foot while chopping wood for my fireplace when I was living in England. It wasn't a pretty sight. It was late at night and I got turned away from the first hospital I went to. After some skilled sewing I still have my foot, with a large scar.
Still, I agree with Shallow Blue. I'll take any wound over a broken heart.

Physical pain: passing a kidney stone, and what a relief when it passed.
Mental pain: living with someone I love who is mentally ill; a pain which waivers but never passes.
Moral pain: watching a great nation go to war for all the wrong reasons, again, despite being warned not to.
Spiritual pain: suffering the presumption of those who think they know God's Great Plan for me &/or the universe.

Originally posted by @drewnogalAgree, labour pains are so hard, I immediately forgot how what they were like. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have had a second child.
Labour pains, which felt like a vice around the lower abdomen and an ear abscess
which was agonising until it burst with a mush like warm custard and jam.

Labour pains, ...
Btw the doctors completely scraped out one of my ears to kill an infection, so I sympathize with you.
