Because right now Ive got one heck of a sprained wrist. Damn lid to the propane cage came down on top of it. Hit my watch more than my wrist, Which is why I guess it did not get broke. But damn it sure feels like it, and I got a nice bruse to boot out of it too.

I've always heard that Sprains hurt worse. The only bones I've ever Broke, where Of course my shoulder Blade, Numerous Fingers, and my Brain pan a few too many times.

The pain from a sprain will probably hurt worse in the short term, but if you're like me, one hairline fracture in a vertebrae over 3 years ago still causes pain; i.e. I have arthritis now in that area. It gets worse in the fall and winter when the weather turns cold and damp. Some days it's so bad I have trouble getting out of bed.

Sprained boner? How does one get that? Besides having Hill's Angels in front of you?

I have a plate and 9 screws in my right leg from a break and that hurt much, much worse than any sprain.

Depends on what bone and how bad the sprain/fracture is.

Both can be very, very painful.

Tooth pain, definitely the worst. It can drive a man insane. (having had my share of breaks, sprains and abscessed molars)

I hurt my wrist while playing with my nephew the other week...poor kid fell down and dragged me with him. Landed on my wrist trying to avoid falling on him and it's been hell ever since. I seem to remember these things healing a lot faster when I was younger...

My greatest pain so far has been an allergic reation to nickel carbonate.

A miniscule amount on 3 fingertips resulting in an allergic reaction. Those 3 fingers became so swollen that not only would they not bend but you could not even see the lines normally present on the knuckles. Finally they had to be pricked all over and the pus forced out (which was briefly more painful still). The pressure the nerves were under was intense and so was the pain. No sleep for 3 days from the pain until the pus was forced out.

I've very carefully avoided it since.

I broke a fingernail in half on a wood splitter. That hurt pretty bad.

What hurt worse was having to take a pair of pliers and yank the broken half of it off my finger so it would heal properly (the nail had died and was keeping a new one from forming). Next time I think I'll let a doctor do it.

Dracho wins for pure wince factor...I could probably rival him...but I don't want to go there because it'll make me wince again and after wincing with Dracho's story...well I don't want to wince again so he wins.

(Shudders) The worst story was a guy in our barracks who contracted an STD. The doctor decided to "teach him a lesson" using aversion therapy..

It was the worst thing I've ever heard...

Though for pure pain, I had nose surgery once that involved cutting a bone in my nasal passage, and that hurt worse, and longer than anything I've ever experienced.

I have sprained my ankle and it hurt like my foot was on fire.

About six years ago I partially fractured my left wrist after slipping on black ice.

The pain was indescribable. Now thinking about it the pain starts to come back.

Lets see, I have had 2 Heart Attacks, Have had 6 teeth knocked out of my mouth in a car accident, I have been shot in the face with a .22 revolver, I have passed kidney stones. But the worse pain I have ever felt was when I was hit in the middle finger on my left hand,by incoming sniper fire while in Beirut. The finger was pretty much blown in half. I was asking the corpsman to just to put a bullet in my head to stop the pain

Crap Charles, you'ld think us marines where for Target practice. I was shot in the upper left shoulder twice with .223 rounds, and once in the lower left calf with a .38 .

The funny thing is, the initial shot's didn't hurt untill a few moments later. It seemed the Blood flow put me more into shock then being shot. I still have you in my prayers though for your heart.

Problem with getting shot in a short appendage (like a finger) is that there is not enough area for the blunt trauma of the impact to cause shock and the accompanying numbness. Thusly, it hurts like a SOB.

I saw a guy cut off three fingers with a chain saw once (they were able to reattach them) and he squealed like a stuck pig. Conversely, I've sat with a guy who's femur had broken and was sticking out his leg and had to distract his attention from his wound to keep him from going into shock. He knew he was injured, but he really couldn't tell how bad it was.

That's some funky stuff to sit beside a guy and talk to him calmly while 6" of the biggest bone in his body is poking out of his leg and trousers. Of course, the guy who shows up to help you running around screaming sort of aggravates the whole "shock" thingy..

Yep and also all the dang nerve endings that are in your finger tips did not help eather. The funny thing is that I don't remember to much when I was shot in the face. I just happened to walk into a 7-11 during an armed robbery. I don't remember the sound of the gun firing. My earliest memory from that event was having all sorts of stuff stuck into my face in the Ambulance. I guess that has to do with being in shock, and also having my brain pan rattled a little bit
