25 WORST HUMAN PAIN Based On Science

have you ever heard of flesh eating disease it's been described as being worse than childbirth or being crucified for some people however it gets even worse have you ever experienced pain I mean real pain not your run-ofthe-mill headache or scraped knee after a bicycle fall type of pain screamworthy paper cuts aside the realm of pain is full of variety there's the sharp stinging pain that comes with stings cuts and bites and the dull throbbing and excu ating radiating pains that can accompany broken bones and while pain is subjective some have been acknowledged to be universally horrible I'm Mike with list 25 and here in no particular order so keep that in mind are the 25 worst human pains based on science 25 postsurgical pain just about every procedure that sees you lying in a theater will result in some level of acute post-surgery pain after the surgery as your body knows it's time to heal the wound the surgeon will likely have had to cut through your muscles and nerves which activated your body's automatic injury responses like inflammation for some people however it gets even worse for them chronic postsurgery pain can sometimes continue for months even after the surgical site has healed chronic post-surgery pain is believed to result from damage to one or more of your peripheral nerves the debilitating symptoms can include aching pains shooting pains burning pains and sensitivity to touch or temperature 24 chronic lower back pain if you've ever had lower back pain you can sympathize with the poor men or women who end up with chronic lower back pain can you imagine having that type of debilitating pain for months on end and to make things worse your lower back only consists of five vertebrae Which is less than you have in your neck you would think that we'd be able to handle the pains it brings a little better unfortunately our lower backs do almost all our heavy lifting this is where your spine connects to your pelvis so those five vertebrae have to carry the weight of your upper body the area is subjected to a great deal of movement and stress which unfortunately for us easily results in wear tear and injuries 23 post-traumatic pain syndrome as if postsurgical pain or even chronic postsurgical pain wasn't bad enough the universe decided to bless us with post-traumatic pain syndrome and trust me it's even worse than it sounds an accident or surgery that causes traumatic pain can cause some post-traumatic pain syndrome it's characterized by long- lasting intense pain that continues long after the original wound is healed even though post-traumatic pain syndrome is not an official medical diagnosis up to 40% of people who experience trauma will experience permanent pain after recovery 22 Hornet sting have you ever heard of the Schmid sting pain index just Justin o Schmidt a specialist in entomology at the Carl Hayden B Research Center in Arizona developed it you can see our entire list on it if you click up here essentially it's a long list of all the insect stings to which Schmidt and his crew submitted themselves in order to obtain bite and sting severity data among their tests was the wild variety of stings by wasps and hornets the scientists said the hornet sting was slightly crunchy rich and Hardy I'm not so sure those are the words that I would have used well the feeling is said to be to getting your hand squashed in a revolving door for 5 minutes or more I'll get back to Insects a little later 21 drawing arterial blood gas have you ever had to have your arterial blood gases drawn it's snow walk in the park it's so painful because your arteries lie much deeper than your veins as an added bonus they're surrounded by nerves and the needle usually has to enter your body at your wrist area to obtain the sample you may experience dis dizziness nausea and lightheadedness while medical personnel take blood from an artery so it's best to sit or lie down for the procedure 20 CRPS or complex regional pain syndrome complex regional pain syndrome is a strange chronic pain disorder that typically develops after a stroke heart attack or surgery and usually affects an arm or a leg there's an enormous degree of pain compared to the actual severity of the injury its symptoms can include continuous burning or throbbing in the infection Ed limb swelling skin texture and temperature changes joint stiff is muscle spasms Tremors and decreased Mobility CRPS can progress to other parts of the body or opposing limbs some people's signs and symptoms resolve on their own in others signs and symptoms can last for months or even years early treatment is critical 19 second degree burns Burns can be excruciating and are classified into categories based on severity for first degree burns damage the first or outer layer of the skin think a sunburn second deegree Burns affect the deeper layers and come with blisters and swelling think fire hot oil or curling iron now imagine that on a much larger surface of your body if a second degree burn covers a large area of your skin more than 10% you'll have to go to your nearest emergency room for treatment the same goes for children younger than five people above 70 or those with a compromised immune system 18 a stonefish sting it's been described as being worse than childbirth or being crucified and no I'm I'm not talking about man flu I'm talking about the venomous stonefish sting now I've never had The Misfortune of Being stung by one of these ugly Critters but it's said to be absolutely excruciating apart from intense pain and swelling at the side of the Sting the swelling can spread to an entire arm or leg within just a few minutes and move to the Airways lungs and nervous system if not treated immediately the poison can kill the victim 177 a penile fracture if you've never heard about this type of fracture before then I'm sorry to break it to you a penile fracture is a very real injury and it's more common than you think a fracture of this kind can be caused by any type of blunt force trauma and is characterized by extreme pain the kind only a man can fully appreciate it's classified as a medical emergency so should you ever suspect an injury of this severity go to your nearest ER immediately 16 broken bones I think most of us will have broken at least one bone by the age of 30 it's a sharp stabbing pain that quadruples in severity if someone touches or moves the damag bone with any kind of pressure you won't be able to put weight on it and if the bone isn't protruding there will likely be swelling bruising and tenderness at the sight however not all broken bones are equal a broken femur rib or tailbone is infinitely more more painful than a broken finger but more on that a bit later 15 frostbite can you imagine freezing and I don't mean merely feeling cold I mean literally freezing during the first stages of frostbite people usually experience pins and needles and throbbing or aching in their extremities or the affected areas your skin turns cold numb and white should your exposure be abnormal for an extended period of time the second stage will kick in your extremities or the affected area will become hard and cold should you be moved out of the cold the tissue will thaw out an excruciating process it'll turn red and blister as the skin thaws blood-filled blisters appear followed by thick black scabs some tissue is likely to die at this point the medical term being tissue necrosis and The Afflicted tissue may need to be removed to avoid infection if you thought frostbite was quite tame for this list then stick around because you won't believe what we have coming up 14 fibromyalgia syndrome imagine aching all over only to be told that it's just all in your head in addition to experiencing widespread pain people with fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS are criticized and questioned by medical professionals wondering if their condition is actually real should you ever be diagnosed with fibromyalgia you'll learn that insult is literally added to injury it's characterized by a variety of physical symptoms including chronic pain and discomfort throughout the body depression fatigue and headaches 13 having a broken rib believe me when I tell you that a broken rib is one of the most painful breaks you can survive in one lifetime yes survive because that's what you'll have to do for at least 6 to the 12 weeks it takes to heal but it doesn't stop there a broken rib's pain duration can take anywhere from 8 weeks to 24 months a broken rib is particularly painful as you can't really rest the area while the bone is mending it's always moving because your rib cage contracts and expands as you breathe apart from the pain it's one of the most dangerous fractures too as a fractured end can easily puncture a lung a condition called pneumothorax which is potentially life-threatening 12 lingchi Death By A Thousand Cuts in ancient China lingchi or Death By A Thousand Cuts was a brutal punishment method reserved for serious crimes like treat or mass murder as the name suggests the Executioner took their time when they had to kill the law breaker after being chained to a post the prisoner was cut into sections the Executioner then slowly removed segments that revealed the tissues underneath because the method was never prescribed by law it varied from region to region in some cases the accused suffered more than 3,000 Cuts in others it only took a few either way the time differed depending on the officials and how much sympathy they had for the accused 11 UK kanji syndrome when most people hear the word deadly they don't immediately think of a teeny tiny animal in Australia's warm Coastal Waters you will however be sorry if you come into contact with an ironi jellyfish The Stingers of the UK kanji jellyfish release Venom which triggers UK kanji syndrome its Hallmarks are nausea anxiety painful Limbs and breathing difficulties it also disrupts the electrical impulses sent through your heart all of this happens within 20 to 40 minutes of being stung leaving little time to react with a proper medication the symptoms usually disappeared a few weeks but it's been known to stay around for much longer and can be fatal 10 Durham's disease Durham's disease is a very unusual not to mention incredibly rare disorder people with it present with a lot of aching fatty lumps that develop just below their skin the bumps usually appear on the upper body but can also be present on the upper legs they cause agonizing pain as they press on the nerves pain can come and go but usually gets worse if you you know move Durham can persist for months at a time and apart from the pain and bruising it also leaves people feeling tired run down and stiff as they lose some of their Mobility the disease can be managed with treatments and medication but no cure exists nine bites or stings from the red harvester ant harvester ants hold the distinguished title of having the most potent vom of all insects on Earth within the species pagato Marx Maricopa is the most dangerous their venom is 20 times stronger than a honeybees and 35 times more potent than a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake red harvester ants will give you stinging bites that produce swelling and acute pain for several hours as our friends over at the Schmid sting pain index put it it feels more or less like someone is operating a drill to Tunnel through your ingrown toenail eight light lipos suction have you ever watched Dr 90210 if you have you'll be familiar with lipos suction during this elective procedure cosmetic surgeons remove subcutaneous fat and may do a bit of body sculpting what they never show you is that it's an incredibly painful procedure well I'm here to set the record straight should you ever decide to get lipos suction your immediate result will not be fun and laughter it'll actually be a lot of bruising and terrible discomfort the recovery time is usually determined by the amount of fat removed and the location of the procedure but the pain will last for several days or weeks seven total hip replacement undergoing a total hip replacement is one of the most painful surgeries in the world just imagine not using your hips for two months or more it's practically impossible those who have had the surgery describe the pain as a radiating dull pain that moves into other parts of your body like the groin and legs luckily the surgery is also one of the most successful full recovery can take up to a year but most people can resume some of their normal daily activities two to 3 months after the surgery with some help six being boiled alive well we should be glad that this particular method of execution isn't used anymore the condemn used to be stripped naked and either immersed in a vat of boiling liquid or a vat of cold liquid that would then be heated to Boiling Point they used everything from oil to acid tar water and even molten lead during the time of King Henry VII it was a punishment explicitly reserved for prisoners in more recent times the former president of Uganda ID Amin was accused of using this torture method on his enemies five having a heart attack while the Hollywood heart attack is often unrealistic one in four people in the US die as a result of heart disease in fact it kills almost 800,000 people every year that's one every 36 seconds but did you know there are several warning signs we can look out for the manifestation of a heart attack can include a variety of aches and pains and usually includes a dull pain in the leg or arm jaw or stomach pain especially in women sharp chest pain shortness of breath heart palpitations and swelling in the feet ankles or legs if you experiencing any of these symptoms you should consult your doctor before you become another statistic four necrotizing fasciitis have you ever heard of FL eating disease necrotizing fasciitis literally causes a person to slowly rot away it's caused by pathogens that cause the skin to rot especially when it gets rooted in the body's deeper layers it causes intense pain including pain that radiates beyond the area of skin that's red heated or swollen while the illnesses that cause it differ the viruses do not literally Devour the flesh but rather release poisons that kill tissue causing the syndrome necrotizing fasciitis is more common in drug and alcohol us users diabetics and people with impaired immune systems and it can be lethal if not treated immediately with 25 to 30% of cases being fatal three open surgery on the heel bone a calcaneous or heel bone fracture is a disabling and harrowing injury it usually happens after a high energy event like a car crash or a fall from a great height when the heel ends up crushed under the body's weight while alternative therapies exist surgery is usually the only way to repair it to access the broken bone a surgeon must cut into the skin they can then use plates or screws to reattach the bone the skin surrounding the heel is thin and there's almost no soft tissue in this area during surgery the nerves surrounding the heel bone can get damaged easily this together with the implantation of screws to the Bone can make the procedure and recuperation painful to say the least two knee pain although the knee is highly flexible and great at transferring and bearing loads it's also one of the most frequently injured body parts accounting for almost a million surgical procedures annually in the us alone the variety of agonizing knee injuries can include everything from tendonitis or inflammation of the kneecap to dislocation fractures torn ligaments torn cartilage or strains and sprains women tend to have more knee injuries as they have a higher knee thigh bone angle one pancreatic cancer despite tons of re SE Arch cancer remains a poorly understood disease characterized by Reckless malignant growth of cells we've identified more than a 100 types all named for the organs or tissues where they form for instance brain cancer starts in the brain lung cancer begins in the lungs and so on and so forth according to science pancreatic cancer is the most painful when pancreatic cancer infects the nerves near the pancreas it compresses and irritates them causing severe pain in the abdomen or back further
