Gout used to be common once, I did not realise it was that painful
 I thought it was just a common lifestyle/age thing |

About 20 years ago I had food poisoning from a takeaway, serious stomach pains, full ambulance job 3 in the morning, got to the Northern general in Sheffield and did a $hit so bad stunk out the whole of one of the biggest hospitals in the north of England.

I went to a Grammar school and was taught by priests who needed little reason to punish you via the means of a leather strap, a cane wasn't good enough for these sadists... and it fecking hurt. But the worst pain I've felt in my life would be emotional pain, much worse than physical pain.

Gall stones massive pain in chest apparently its worth than giving birth which I can vouch for took me 12 hours before they would give me any morphine on the ward.When I had them removed they ballsed up the operation and ended up having leaking bile duct in other words peritonitis,the pain was worse than the pain I went in with bile is caustic and was leaking so had to have a self induced morphine phs machine.Never been in so much pain constantly for 7/8 days
and the morphine was such low dosage was still in constant agony!! |

1.. 6" Q tip jammed down my bellend in a clap clinic 2.. 6" needle pushed through my kneecap to vent fluid after a cruciate ligament reconstruction 3.. Having the drains removed from my knee after the cruciate surgery |

Petrus Romanus had my eyes watering with his story of the clap clinic!!
I have to go with the gout brigade though. Have considerable experience of it as a result of chronic kidney failure, leading eventually to a successful kidney transplant and no more gout. Classically in the big toe which is nothing short of agonising, but I agree with the poster who said it's worse in the knee. Many years ago, I was driving home and suddenly got a crippling attack in the left knee. It was so painful that I couldn't depress the clutch pedal. So I improvised and did the accelerator, brake and clutch with my right foot, which required footwork that Len Goodman the ballroom dancing judge would have been proud of. Got home safely swathed in sweat and had to hop right footed from the car into the house. Knee blew up like a balloon and was so swollen with gouty fluid that the doc in the hospital had to drain it off by driving this huge needle into my knee joint, extracting this green liquid, and then injected the joint with steroids. Not my most comfortable hour!! |

Gout in the big toe for me aswell. I have lost a finger sawing, broken ribs, inner ear infections, but none of them come close.

By:
If you think gout in your big toe is painful, you've clearly never had it anywhere else Confused
Ankle is much worse, but you better pray you never get it in your knee Cry Believe me, you would cut your c0ck off with a rusty knife, just for the opportunity to move the gout away from your knee and onto your big toe Shocked Whoops Just developed a cold sweat on my forehead thinking about it Blush PMSL! I simply cannot get my head around the same pain in the knee though...I would have cut my toe off at one point.. |

Kenney...What dose of allurpurinal do you take?
|
|
By:
Went for a pi$$ in a pub toilet once and caught my hampton good and proper in my fly zip. Fooooking painful. Toilet was packed as well.
Had to back away from the urinal with my c0ck hanging out as I headed towards a cubicle to sort out my bloodstained dick. Lots of strange looks all around |

Been lucky to not have had much physical pain - famous last words
 so, it has to be recovery from ACL surgery for me. |
|
By:
I've had all sorts of different kinds of pain , broken ankle , cracked skull , burst lip , recurring dislocating shoulder for years on end which i had operated on , no end of tooth pain
but the worst was i'd say the same as Foyles War , a huge Abscess in my gum also at a Bank Holiday weekend that i couldn't get to see a dentist at all with until the Tuesday morning !! I gladly would've died that weekend instead of standing that pain non stop , no amount of painkillers etc work , you can't eat , can't sleep , a complete & utter nightmare  |

By:
on the first page of this thread i said I had gout in my ankle and that it was ridiculously painful, and no-one said anything, so I thought maybe I was being a wimp. Im reassured by all these gout stories.
I had a gangrenous appendix and it didnt even cross my mind in terms of pain compared to gout. |

I once had to sit through an entire episode of birds of a feather.

If you have an attack of gout you should not take allopurinol, it could make it worse. Naproxen is what you need.
I've had it in my ankle and it's bitterly painful but I worked with someone who used to get it solely in his elbows. A big lump of a bloke literally reduced to a blubbering wreck. |
|
By:
I take Allopurinol, it's the most commonly prescribed remedy for gout.
I've started eating lots of cherries which are very good for the condition. |
|
By:
as is not drinking beers but feck that.
|
|
By:
Kenny mann, my mate is a G.P. and he told me that. For me when I get my two attacks a year Naproxen sorts it out extremely rapidly.
I'm not overly impressed with the not drinking beer bit either. I walk at least 35/40 miles a week am and basically very healthy but gout does flare up every now and then. |

It's a rich man's disease, they say.
I am the exception. |

Not myself but a work collegue of mine described how one night whilst in bed he thought he heard a noise downstairs so got up and went down without turning the light on. Jumped of the last 2 stairs onto a 3 pin plug left lying there from the hoover. It went straight through the sole of his foot. Took 12 months before he could walk properly again and still gives him jip today.
|
|
By:
Forgot to add he said he nearly fainted when it went in and again pulling it out it was so painful.
|

By:
It's all in the mind.

Allopurinal for gout is a preventer.It thins the blood... I take it every day. If you have an attack, Stop!!! and take the pain killers instead.
|
|
By:
Yes paulypaul you are quite correct, you should not take Allopurinol if you get a flare up.

Piece of Lemon or drop of Lime in your Lager does the trick for Gout

2 x dry socket infections at the same time felt like my head was going to explode emergency dentist was required for pain relief.
Hope I never get this gout though from reading this thread, sounds horrific. |

Only yesterday, out in the garden, I had a massive sneezing fit and my hernia came out again.
Same happened at Xmas and was very distressing to family members who didn't know what to do! It is hard to stifle the cries of agony, whilst I am pushing it back with my fingertips, and God knows how painful it would be if I didn't know how to deal with it. |
|
By:
abscess on a tooth for me as well.
Was in the middle of treatment been going on for a year , but it would not clear with antibiotics. 48 hours with no sleep as it throbbed constantly ....then as if by magic it stopped . |

Bloke at work is suffering from Gout , took medication and it starting attacking his stomach lining.
HE has been on crutches now for 2 months. |
|
By:
Scratched cornia for me. Remember punching the ceiling of the car on the way to the hospital.
|
|
By:
I've had several tooth abcesses, I've had piles, and I've had herniated disc pain (leg and back) - absolute agony for several months. Tried everything for the pain and even morphine didn't get near it.
But none of that compared to gastroentiritis which burst a blood vessel in my intestine and the blood poured into my bladder - that gave me so much stomach pain, I actually couldn't breathe. I was sh1tting blood for 3 days afterwards.  |

A badly sunburnt back takes some beating for pain, not sure what sunstroke is but if its really really badly sunburn then i,ll go for that.
|
|
By:
sunstroke much like proper flu. sickness, shaking, body pain. had it in zante years back. pretty bad but nothing in the grand scheme.
|
|
By:
