25 Worst Pains Humans Can Experience

what is the human body's pain tolerance what is the worst pain known to medical science these are both good questions we've all wondered things like how much pain can a body take before death well today we're gonna answer those questions these are the 25 worst pains humans can experience let's start out with the betrayal of your own body gout for example is basically an acute and intense onset of arthritis and it is not to be messed with it used to be called the rich man's disease because a wealthy diet was one of the causes these days however it's become more common in the West thanks McDonald's next we have abscesses they can occur anywhere on the body but tooth obsesses are typically the most painful because they're so close to a huge number of nerves due to tooth decay bacteria sets in and causes immense pain the infection can even spread to the rest of the face caused terrible fevers and in some cases death protip brush your teeth the fun of the body's weaknesses don't stop there though the Achilles is the strongest and largest tendon in the body so when it breaks it hurts people even say it feels like things shot in the back of the foot great moving on let's talk about peritonitis peritoneum which is a thin lining that covers much of the inside of your abdomen and when it gets inflamed who get ready caused by a leakage of the intestines the pain is unreal the condition is so bad that if left untreated it's almost always fatal as horrible as some of these have sounded so far count yourself lucky because not everything on this list has a potential to happen to you at least if your parents not an anti-vaxxer I'm of course talking about tetanus tetanus is one of the most painful things that can happen to your body it's also known as lockjaw because your muscles start spasming and lock up people who don't have the vaccine often have to be placed on emergency breathing machines get vaccinated people I even got vaccines for tetanus when I jumped on some rusty nails doing list 25 just if you you want to throw that clip up you're more than welcome to let's move on to all the things that can go wrong with your head post dural puncture headache also known as a spinal headache is one of the worst head pains a human can experience basically your meninges one of the most sensitive parts of your body are affected it's a common side effect of spinal anesthesia the worst part is that movement can make it worse common symptoms are hearing loss vertigo nausea dizziness and extreme pain it's been described as quote searing and spreading like hot metal now have any of you heard of a trigeminal neuralgia for those of you who've never had issues with your trigeminal nerve be thankful this nerve is responsible for supplying as sensations to the face mucous membranes and other structures in the head sufferers of this condition say it's like being struck in the head by lightning who knows though lightning may actually be preferred next to cluster headaches unlike migraines or tension headaches cluster headaches occur almost directly behind the eyeball they get their name because they occur in groups over a period of several weeks usually at night they also come with the cute little nickname of suicide headaches because the pain is almost unbearable some people say it feels like a stick is being jammed through your eyeball and into your brain fun moving on to the lower part of the body consider the go natal torsion whether it's the testes of the ovaries torsion typically involves twisting of the gonads reproductive glands that cuts off their blood supply and yes it's just as painful as it sounds and often require surgery in order to save the gonad but that's not all the horrible things it happened down there don't leave out penile fracture every guy knows what this is and it hurts just as much as you think it does that sounds like I know that from personal experience thanks for writing it that way taking place in a similar area we now have kidney stones now these don't really need any introduction as I'm sure you're all aware of how painful they can be hopefully not from experience but if you already think kidney stones are bad get this the largest stone ever removed from a human was six inches wide and for those of you who don't know even the smallest stones are incredibly painful they can cause fever vomiting and blood in the urine so now we have pains in the head the upper body and lower body how about the entire body der Crim's disease consists of numerous painful tumors that grow on the patient's body the tumors can be extremely sensitive to touch and temperature so even taking a shower can be excruciating staying on the topic of having pain in all sorts of places we have complex regional pain syndrome basically your body's pain receptors go crazy and cause intense swelling and pain usually on the limb the pains tend to get worse over time and there is no cure in fact sometimes it gets so bad that the only solution is to amputate protip stop smoking apparently smokers tend to get this disease so far I've talked about pain I wouldn't wish upon anybody but sometimes it comes with growth and life but that doesn't make childbirth any more enjoyable it's been long accepted that childbirth is one of the most painful things you can experience some people say that it feels like your organs are being ripped out so not fun but it can also be beautiful and speaking of beautiful experiences let's explore Road Rash similar to burns which you'll hear about momentarily this is insanely painful having the top layer of your skin gone and your nerves damaged is no fun at all but arguably second-degree burns might be see I told you I'd get to them now I'm sure you're probably thinking what about third-degree burns aren't those worse well yes they are but third-degree burns are so bad that even your nerves are damaged so you can't feel anything at all second-degree burns are where the pain is that they're bad enough to hurt but not so bad that your nerves got singed all right that's it I'm done talking about all the horrible things that can happen to your body through diseases and injuries anyway did you know that animals also want to kill you not only that they want to kill you on land and in the ocean the stonefish commonly found in the coastal regions of the Indo Pacific are one of the most venomous fish known to man often confused with stones below the surface of the water people sometimes accidentally step on them depending on how much pressure is applied will determine how much venom gets injected unfortunately it doesn't take much for this sting to be fatal and as a note even if it's not fatal the victim typically experiences excruciating pain nausea convulsions and vomiting if you keep swimming you might just get to live through Irukandji syndrome this is a condition induced by the sting of the Irukandji jellyfish go figure along with other types of jellyfish that's often found off the coast of Australia shocking besides being incredibly painful an unusual effect of the jellyfish's venom is an intense feeling of impending doom in fact some patients even begged their doctor to just kill them and get it over with it can take up to several weeks for the symptoms to recede assuming proper medical attention but yes things aren't that much better on land since you were young I'm sure you fear the possibility of a bear attack right particularly polar bears those things are mean however that doesn't mean black bears and Grizzlies are any less dangerous they've been known to seriously injure people leave them for dead and then come back later to finish the job talk about painful and yet a creature doesn't have to be the size of a bear to inflict a serious amount of pain in fact they can be the size an aunt of bullet and specifically also known as paraponera clavata the bullet ant sting is rated as the most painful sting on the Schmidt pain index Brazilian tribesmen sometimes have experienced multiple bullet ant stings as a part of their initiation ceremony while these creatures may be terrifying let's not leave out the animal that's killed more humans than any other the human itself throughout history humanity has discovered loads of fun ways to torture murder and execute one another let's start where we began the wheel the breaking wheel specifically this medieval method of execution involved the condemned being tied to a wheel and then their limbs being bludgeoned until they broke the mangled body was often left on display many times the victim was kept alive for days without food or drink next some humans have had the pleasure of being hanged drawn and quartered although the death penalty's finally outlawed in Europe back in the day the Europeans were ridiculously malevolent when it came to handing out punishment there was no such thing as lethal injection no way prisoners were drawn through the street behind a horse hanged until just before the point of death disemboweled beheaded and then quartered you know chopped into four pieces you know there's a civilized execution should take place another classic that many I'm sure are aware of is crucifixion this is actually where the word excruciating comes from fun fact the Romans were masters of death and torture the whole point of crucifixion was to keep the victim alive so they would feel as much pain as possible Jesus that sounds awful and we did it lastly we have Ling she also known as death by a thousand cuts this form of execution was used in China and Vietnam up until the 1900s basically the victim's body was slowly cut into pieces the intent to keep them alive for as long as possible to increase the pain kind of rude but okay that does it for physical pain but there's one more thing we need to talk about mental pain ranging from depression all the way to PTSD there's a lot of evidence showing that emotional trauma and pain triggers the same parts of the brain as physical pain in fact it's been sometimes shown to trigger the pain regions even more psychological distress is one of the worst things a person can experience so what's the worst pain you've ever experienced that is if you're comfortable talking about it maybe let us know in the comments below or tweet your answers to us at

sucked when I broke my arm resetting the arm I'd rather break it again than the resetting because when I broke my arm so you can cut this I'm literally I mean you can keep it if it's interesting this normally when you break it's like one or the other this part of my arm broke upwards this part of my arm broke down where so it was like that so they had to like reset it it was ya know it sucked it
