I'm just very curious.
Okay, I've read A LOT of top 20 lists and obviously they all somewhat vary. This is based on what is most commonly high on the list etc. Almost all lists have the same 20 and I'm not saying this is an exact order by any means.
1) Depression (also, Borderline Personality Disorder)
2) Cluster Headaches
3) Frozen Shoulder
4) Trigeminal Neuralgia
5) Complex Regional-Pain Syndrome
6) Acute Pancreatitis
7) Sickle Cells
8 ) Kidney Stones
9) Shingles
10) Heart Attack
11) Endometriosis
12) Broken Bones
13) Slipped Disk
14) Arthritis
15) Sciatica
16) Gout
17) Stomach Ulcer
18 ) Fibromyalgia
19) Appendicitis
20) Migraine
[runner-ups that are very painful but never seem to have the top 20 include:
Inter-muscular abscess
Post-Operative Pain
Gallstones
Childbirth
Burns
Spinal Headache
Dislocated Joints]
For me, I've experienced:
Borderline Personality Disorder (and Depression) - gotta agree this is the worst. My psych told me to describe having BPD to people who don't understand as "the emotional equivalent of being covered in severe burns; you feel agony at the slightest touch and movement" and I think that's very accurate.
Acute Pancreatitis - I barely remember to be honest. I do know it was extremely painful and that they had me on IV morphine and even IV Diamorphine at times. They guy in the bed next to me (on the ward) actually had to have an epidural because he couldn't handle the pain. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Like being repeatedly disemboweled by a razor blade made of acid.
Inter-muscular abscess - I had a very large (infected) one in my thigh and it was agony to walk. In hospital they told me it is worse than just breaking a bone and said they couldn't believe I wasn't using a wheelchair (I very happily accepted one when they offered). I had an extreme case of it, though. The thigh is the biggest muscle as long as one of the most used so it's the worst place to get it, and mine (the abscess, not my thigh lol) was HUGE to boot (400ml which is fucking gigantic).
