Emotionally - Criticism from loved ones Physically - When I broke bones

Emotionally: My Heartbreaking from what someone I love said. Physically: When I cracked my head open and you could see my skull. Come to think of it that was also emotionally because all the kids called me Frankenstein.

Physically- I once thought childbirth, till I had a really severe gall bladder attack Emotionally- The death of my 3 month old grandson

Emotional.

physical My broken femur bone..Thats all you need to say

Right now I would have to say physical... broke 7 ribs, my breast bone and clavical, Lacerated my liver and spleen and had two chest tubes and I had this nurse who was always screaming at me to take a deep breath all the time.

physical. I had gotten stiches in my head, chin, and then just some muscle in my neck got pulled or someting like that and for some reason that was the worst.

Physical When I was going into the third grade I fell down the cement stairs Then I hit my ear on the metal railing I had a ringing sound in my ear for 3 days. I bruised and cut my arms and legs badly. I fractured my left arm I was at my friends house My parents took me to the ER a couple days later. At least it hurt then idk if it would hurt now I should try it...

Emotional. I have felt such deep emotional pain that I could feel it in my chest.

Emotional. I never do anything too physically dangerous.

Emotional. Because there isn't a limit. Physical you can basically say this is as much pain as you get before it's so bad you can't feel anything.

Heart Attack...Kidney Stones...Lung biopsy. Emotional: besides family deaths....being in 911 was horrendous for me...I am much better now..time heals.

being burnt(65%) , heart attack , 2 strokes , and quite a few more things

I've felt so heartsick that I thought I was going to die, and have cried for days, literally. It was extremely painful. But childbirth was MUCH more painful. That's the most intense pain I've ever experienced. I don't think anything will ever top that. I certainly hope not anyway.

emotionally after a 7 year relationship when I came home and nobody was there... physically when I was ill a few years back and started having seizures and tore some muscles in my back.

When the Dr. told me in the hallway at Seton Hospital in Austin Tx. that my dad needed a heart transplant. It was both emotional and physical, I fell against the wall. I did not faint but it was close. I have never in my life felt so helpless or weak.

Emotional. I can usually handle physical pain, but I've been in so much emotional pain before that I could barely function...

Physical probably the day I was goofing off and tried to jump down the steps and cracked my ankle emotional would be the day my sweetheart died.

Watching my best friend drowned when I was 12, that totally sucked.I have had alot of physical injuries,none hurt quite like that experience.

psychological...but your question is asked in the comparative form:)

Back pain.

I had always thought it was childbirth, until now, as I am trying to pass a kidney stone. Now I know the meaning of the word pain.

Emotional pain takes a hell of a lot longer to fade away.

Emotionally--a divorce after 24 years of marriage. Physically--2nd degree burns over 40% of my body.

that would be a tie between labor and a sinus infection.

Back pain following a sports injury. I could barely move my spine for 2 days without whimpering pathetically! A perforated eardrum is also verging on unbearable!

Heartbreak. No physical pain I've had to endure can match the agony of getting my heart sheared in two. Course I'm a man and will never have to give birth.

Heartbreak!!!

emotionally: I got dumped the night i was going to propose. Physically: I blew my knee out.

Physical - tearing all the ligaments in my left ankle playing footbal. Emotionally - losing both my parents to cancer in less than 2 years.

Labor pains

Being on fire is no fun, but it takes some time for the pain to set in. I broke my neck once. That hurt. But the fire thing was worse.

The worst pain that I had ever expeienced was that of not knowing when the pain would end. I had a problem 3years ago and I put on such a brave face getting up and going to the bathroom and stepping out for a smoke talking rationally to the nurses while waiting to get the ultra sound images while sitting with the teck, she said "wholly shit" jumping up and literally running to the doctor leaving me there to squirm around I could not find any comfort. The tech and the doc asked me how I was feeling and I told them no different than before the ultrasound apparently a vital organ had exploded in my body and was in need of hospital care that could not be provided at the community hospital. Shortly after they told me that I was to be transfered back to canada immidiatley for my kiddneys were now starting to shut down I was sent in to oblivion with copius amounts of morphine that resembled the character in the movie STAY for thats how I now percived things I seen people in that semi dream like state and talk to people who I had seen in my hospital room the only problem was that these people who i was talking to had been dead for along time not able to discern the dead from the living people thought i was talking to my self. I swear this really happened I told my aunt that Fred was just hear sitting in that chair I asked her "did you talk to hime?. This was all very fine but I still felt the uncontollable pain in my stomach oh my god how I prayed squirming around getting the iv tangled and then the nurse kept pumping the morphine in to me every 10minutes and I could not keep still from the pain in my stomach oh god stop stop the pain I mean it was so bad I was going religious right there on the spot. I was not allowed to drink any water for they the doctor wanted to look at the other organs in my stomach with out any thing in my stomach. and then more morphine god help. I was getting to the point of hostility the pain was driving me mad and more morphine. and my brother showed up at the hospital and I told him look I know I'am dying, let me choose where I die. I asked him to get my clothes I don't want to die hear, and to please give me somthing to drink for I felt so thirsty despite the fact they were giving me iv liquids. My brother and his wife were there and i again asked them for my clothes no I can't help you, he didn't even give me a coke no fluids he told me. I fought like this for a week in ICU. I was finallly stabilized and was moved to a private room. I have never felt so much pain before i had no idea how bad pain could get. I was a changed man after that, my total stay was 7days ICU and 24days recooperating in the hospital. I'm to this day a changed person, I no longer take the health of my body or my mind for granted, for I was given a second chance of life to not hurt is a blessing. I'm for every indebited to the hospital in both south east alaska, and to those staff in whitehorse general hospital. Quite inadvertantly my family doctor was the person who had ordered a plane waiting for me once I crossed into the canadian side of the border and had me medivact to a canadian hospital. I owe so much to so many who saved my life. I give thanks to all, and my blessing to all that have to be in hospital care or home care and may they get well soon. god bless

Well..let's see...I have given birth three times, I had a shattered hip joint, and a severe gall bladder attack (which was almost as bad if not AS bad as the labor pains), but none of those can come close to the pain I felt at the funeral of my three month old grandson.

Physical, and it was awful. I threw up 25 times in the span of 2 days! Emotional pain usually lasts a lot longer, but it's easier to deal with. And this, coming from an angsty 30-yr-old disabled woman who probably will be forever stuck with that teenage syndrome. Human beings have a greater capacity for enduring emotional pain, than physical pain. So it's natural that a person would say that the worst pain they've ever felt was emotional. This is simply because people are better equipped to deal with emotional anguish. If physical pain is measured up to DOL 10, I'm guessing that emotional pain would be measured up to (hypothetical) DOL 15.

Emotional

Emotional and it hurts a whole lot more than physical pain.

Physically--pleurisy I felt like my bones were breaking. In my shoulders, back, and knees. It was painful! Emotionally--anorexia More than the physical aspects of self-imposed starvation, the emotional pain was killing. And I was 15 years old, a time in a girl's life where she can't deal with her emotions properly!

Emotionally, it would have to be the feeling of failure that was caused by a freinds deceit. Physically, any ligament tear sucks really bad.

Emotionally - the death of my Grandad and also when my boyfriend broke up with me after a 3 and a half year relationship. Bad times :(

Emotionally - the aftermath of a miscarriage. Physically - giving birth; although the instant its over you forget about it!

kidney stones

A broken heart....

these questions

Emotional pain.

i surly tell you that love is the worst kind of pain!!

I used to think having a hysterectomy was but I honestly think that emotional pain is worse than any kind of physical pain. Physical pain heals..emotional doesn't. LONELINESS is the worst kind of pain there is to me. It doesn't heal. put me in a room with 10 trillion people and I am still lonely. so I would have to say Loneliness

To me its a broken heart. I have had several over the last few years. Some were much more painful than most people can EVER imagine. Dealing with a new one right now. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't shut my mind off. I feel like throwing up and my head is throbbing. Trying to convince myself that I want to continue existing. So tired of feeling like this. I have been knocked down so many times, and gotten right back up. Thinking of just staying down this time. Can't figure it out. I usually bounce right back, but I can't seem to this time.

A paper cut. Ouch. =D

cutting my arm on glass DAMMIT

Emotionally: The feeling that I'll never be with the man that I love because he is happily married. Physically: The time in Florida hen I got such a bad sunburn that I could hardly move and the blisters were gigantic!

Physical pain would win for acute pain. Giving birth was horribly painful, so I erase that from my memory. But emotional pain is chronic and much harder to bear. Loneliness was tough on me last year while I was alone in Florida, but the unjust death of a loved one ranks higher on the horrible scale.

Wow, I think when I had to put my cat down I lost my best friend and when I had to find a home for my dog I had ever since she was 6weeks old because the landlord said no more pets. My heart hurt inside so bad.

Emotionally - loneliness. And not just the "I'm home and bored and all my friends are on vacation" loneliness... the "my family disowned me a year ago, I lost all my friends in that struggle, I've just become a mother, my baby is hungry but I have no milk, going through postpartum depression and I have no one but my husband who, god bless him, is trying hard but has NO idea what's going on..." kind of loneliness. Physically - after giving birth, I haemorrhaged. The postpartum bleeding actually hurt WORSE than the 37 hour labor and unmedicated delivery.

Emotionally : the loss of my mum Physically: spinal tibia fracture with a split knee cap

I had 50 staples ripped out of my feet with a needle nose pliers after a big surgery. My grandmother was holding my hand while I was screaming curse words.

Emotionally was when I realized that my 7 year relation was one huge lie! I have never felt so empty in my life!!

Emotionally - broken heart from various things such as death, break ups, etc. Physically - dry sockets when i got my wisdom teeth removed. man that sucked. i was moaning and crying for a whole weekend before i could get to the dentist on monday. i hope until child birth i don't have to experience anything like that again.

My worst pain both emotionally and physically was when I was given to understand that the marriage of my eldest son and my eldest daughter-in-law is on the rock and may be breaking up eventually.

When I felt absolutely nothing. I couldn't seem to feel happiness, sadness, anger, nothing. It was like being dead but still having a physical body. I don't even hardly remember those days... just the empty feeling.

... physically - Ninja nerve pinches for torturing information ... ... emotionally - being dumped by my fiancee shortly before the wedding ... she left me for the guy she had been cheating on me with ...

My last divorce = Lost my *real* "one & only" (yes, I know how stupid that sounds!), my job of over 25 years (she cont'd to work there), *lotsa* 'friends', my 'dream' house onna hill w/ totally secluded swimming pool, half of all my liquid $, two cars, my cockatiels & doves and part-time 'use' of a cool cat! - Bummer. - :-(

When my first long term girlfriend broke up with me for a reason that I never found out. She even refused to talk to me forever after that. There was no fight or anything. I can only assume that her mormon family and friends turned her against me. Damn christians.

physically....a charie horse in my foot!!! ouch!!!!

E: When I found out that I was too weak to commit suicide. P: When I had food poisoning from Elio's Pizza. I was so scared I actually prayed to god :)

Emotionally: When I found out that my now ex-fiance was cheating on me. Physically: I endured almost two years of pain from a severe chronic bone infection for two years following a traumatic amputation, sometimes accompanied by cellulitis. It was cured by two re-amputations.

Worst for me was emotionally. No medicine or cream to make it better....

Feeling abandoned when I needed him

Emotionally first with my aunt and then second with my fiancee. They were both two of the most important people in my life.

Emotionally. Death of someone I loved dearly.

Spinal-block anesthesia headache after a spinal block for surgery... It's the ultimate headache, it makes you want to die as soon as possible.

Emotionally, the death of my father and physically, when my epidural ran out and I had to push my 10lb son out...OUCH! +5

loneliness

physical-- I got a spinal tap

Emotionally. That's when I found out that my boyfriend for 7 years was cheating on me. What's even worse is when he pretended he's still interested in marrying me when he can't even treat me with respect.He has changed totally.

my worst pain whould probaly be my heart broken by first love.

The worst emotional pain was when my house burned down and I lost EVERYTHING. I was in shock for several days. Even now, 2 years later, there are some tough times. But at least nobody died, so it could have been worse! We had a victim here in San Diego who had a plane crash into his house; he lost his house, his wife and his children. Now THAT must have been unbearable!
