So many painful ways to hurt yourself but for the sake of deep and thoughtful discussion, which one of these is the most painful everyday accidental injury?

A) Jellyfish sting
B) Bee/Horsefly/Wasp sting
C) hitting your pinky toe on furniture
D) stepping on legos
E) bite your tongue/cheek/lip
F) Charlie horse/cramp
G) hit your funny bone
H) paper cuts
I) bruised ego
Edit: J) toddler hitting you in the nuts

how about falling 20’ off of your roof on to the driveway- crushing your heel so badly that your Achilles’ tendon pulls it out of your shoe in a big blob. Not to mention the large grapefruit sized ball of bone and flesh sitting where your wrist used to be. does that count?

No. We are discussing sissy injuries that hurt more than they should. Not broken bones.

Just kidding - ouch!
My BIL just did something similar in December. He spent a week in the trauma unit and had a few surgeries on his wrist and femur.

Calf cramp or one in the arch of your foot. Just shoot me instead.

On that list I’m going with C

However I would have added toddler inadvertently hitting you in the nuts to the list

Several good ones. But I think when you have grown men playing a violent sport only to stop everything and writhe in pain, causing the entire world to hold their collective breath while women put their hands over their mouths in near tear-jerking concern, only to have it be a cramp, that pretty much ends the conversation.

Of course, it really becomes about what matters most. The intensity of the pain from a cramp is unmatched, but also dissipates quickly and you're back to 100%. Bite your tongue or cheek good and your life continues as is, but you could also be looking at a week of agony. Stubbing your toe on furniture is kind of a mix between the two(intensity and longevity), but also typically takes place at night when you're often half asleep, so that adds another wrinkle. So many ways we inadvertently pummel our bodies.

Those pains are awful! When I was pregnant the first time I remember waking up with cramps in excruciating pain - made me jump up straight out of bed. With my second pregnancy I had sciatic pain straight down the back of my leg that would bring me to my knees out of the blue. I'd be walking along and it would strike. Definitely don't miss that!

Added to the list although I've never had it happen but heard it was painful.

I grew up surfing, so jellyfish stings were part of the deal. But in late spring there would sometimes be an invasion that you couldn't escape if you wanted to be in the water. They'd be all over your board, on your back, etc. But the worst was a few times they'd float up your board shorts and spend a few minutes just pulsating on your thighs and everywhere else. No fun.

Have you ever touched fire coral? Ouch!

Kidney stone. Anything else is competing for second place.

Have you ever given birth? :lol:

To be fair I've heard kidney stones are the same or worse.

Every mom I know who has passed a kidney stone will admit the stones are worse.

I'll take your word for it and hope to never find out!

Definitely J. When my son was a toddler we got him a little set of plastic golf clubs. Just before I threw them away, he hit me in the (bad place) with the driver while I was asleep in the recliner. It is truly a pain that only the passing of time can relieve.

I’ve never had a broken bone, but have tended to several during my coaching days and some were very painful. The worst was a kid that snapped his ankle in a tackling drill. In those days we’d just load them up in the pickup and head to the hospital. He was in pain and hollering so we got him in the front seat of the truck and propped his ankle up on his helmet. This relieved the pain some until the coach that was driving hit a couple of pot holes. The kid started hollering and the other coach yelled “hush boy, we’re about there!” That display of concern and sympathy no doubt helped to begin the healing process. That was over 30 years ago. If it was today, I’d be in the state pen.

I hope so too. I would not wish it on anyone. I've only had one and the duration, while seeming like an eternity to me, was not nearly as bad as some others I've heard of.

my wife has had four kids - including not dilating on the first one (10lbs 5 oz - 200 stitches and no epidural).
she's also had a c-section.

she has also passed ~100 kidney stones of various sizes and shapes including 13 in one night at the ER. she also lost one of her kidneys due to the over usage of that sonic stone blasting machine that damaged her ureter.

and...she will tell you that she prefers childbirth over kidney stones 8 days a week.

No. Why would I? The name explicitly conveys the notion of pain.

At least with child birth there’s a great ending you’ve been wanting to see. Passing kidney stones seems similar to being a professional mover. You’re doing all this work, loading/unloading, taking things up stairs, exhausting yourself, but without the benefit of knowing you’re getting a new home.

O.M.G. - give that women a Purple Heart! That sounds awful! Seriously that women is amazing.
