    I think I mentioned that I had a pionidal sinus in this thread. I had to have surgery to drain and they have to then pack it. (You're basically left with a hole, for the infection to drain) Having stuff taken out of that hole and new stuff put in, is painful.

    The pre-operative pain caused by appendicitis, then the pain caused by a dr ultrasounding and pushing on said inflamed area (who I would have killed happily, if given the chance, I think) and the pain I had after having the damn thing taken out which then persisted for at least a month. Then some terrible UTIs I've had and the spinal tap I had as a child to confirm a (very obvioius!) case of bacterial meningitis. Oh and having cannulas/IVs put in. I don't know why but they seem to be really particularly painful for me.

    Stepping on a plug/lego and similar such incidents like stubbing your toe- lots of pain, albeit mostly quite brief, unless like my landlady you manage to stub and then break your toe, in which case, it's not so brief, lol.

    Bursitis in the elbow - inflammation of my bursas - the fluid-filled sacs which keep elbow movement smooth.

    Wasn't *too* bad until it ended up rupturing inside my elbow and them became infected... then for one week straight, every waking hour was filled with almost unbearable pain. Often felt faint. Even touching the elbow surface without any pressure - let alone leaning it on a desk (which is an impulsive thing I did, with dire consequences) - was enough to put the already-agonising pain on a different level entirely. Not pleasant...

    Worst pain I've ever felt was probably intussusception as a baby, but I don't remember that :P worst pain that I can remember is probably the pain I've had for the past three months; a UTI that became a kidney infection requiring hospitalization, which has now cleared up but I have days where I'm still in so much pain from it, so waiting for a referral to a specialist. It feels like someone is stabbing a bruise, that's the only way I can really describe it - and when someone touches it with any pressure, it's agonizing.

    I've had really bad tonsillitis that kept me up all night, but the worst thing was probably vomiting a few days after my tonsillectomy, ouch

    Maybe if you explain your problems, (doctors note would be a good idea) they may still let you into college?
    I have 100% attendance now :P I was just explaining how I need above 95% but I haven't missed a day all year

    Leaning over a hot iron and burning my stomach (oops) or pouring freshly boiled water from the kettle onto my hand. Burns suck...

    Flipping on a bouncy castle and my teeth bursting right through my bottom lip was pretty sore!

    Mumps!

    i'm gonna say anytime i've had cramp in my foot
    that must make me sound such a wuss but oh my gooodness it's EXCRUCIATING every single time
    i'll be in college or someone quiet and posh and i'll literally have to scream and swear bloody mary, it's so embarrassing, i think somethings wrong with my body

    or when i used solid carrot oil for a week in tenerife
    couldn't lie in bed, had to sleep sitting down, had to stay in the same clothes for days, had to put off going the toilet as long as possible cause knickers scraping my thighs was just unbearable!

    oh cramp and sunburn, i guess i've been lucky if that's the worst pain i've had hahaha

    UTI that caused truly epic kidney pain. I was found naked, lying in the bath, pale as a ghost and vomiting. It was awful.

    I had one of my teeth removed (to work braces, not because of poor hygiene, just sayin' ) and the injection didn't work.

    *blubs* I can't believe my dentist continued through my screaming. I hate dentists.
