stubbing a toe is far down the list - the thing about stubbing a toe that makes it seem worse is that it's never expected, so suddenly you've got this pain, your heart's racing, blood pressure shoots up and your toe is throbbing.

who knows - it's always said that childbirth is the most intense pain, also often said kidney stones are the worst, same for a bad migraine, bad toothache, back pain

i did find my dad on the floor passed out - turned out to be kidney stones, i thought he was dead from a heart attack, he said it was just like he was shot and down he went.

all i know is that with some cancers the pain is so bad that no narcotic can ease the pain and why there's been a fight to use heroin for that type of pain, not sure where heroin is legal for doctors to use, some countries it is legal. pain has got to be fucking pretty incredible if all the pain pills we have can't ease it.

in my experience nothing is as miserable as a very bad toothache - i've had a backache as bad but with the backache occassionally i could get a position where it would be better but a toothache that is shooting through your head and with every beat of your heart it throbs worse - that's my personal worst. i've been in accidents and they're bad but you go into shock and before you know it somebody has given you something for the pain that gets it under control. toothache that just goes on for hours/days until you drag yourself to the dentist.
