Toothache. Most general pain I can just tolerate until it goes away. But I become completely useless with a toothache. I’m not productive and I’m irritable. I grab a painkiller as soon as I can.

This one just recently as I’m getting older: lower back pain. Getting up after sitting down for a while in an awkward position and the pain is so bad that I literally collapse into a squatting position with my hands on the ground until I can slowly get up again.

If we're talking about unpleasant sensations, there's one I get that makes me feel nauseous that I can only describe as being like a smooth grooved surface with unwanted lumps in it and I'm travelling and lurching over it in some unseen dimension. (I've actually met at least one other person who described this without me mentioning it first, so it might be somewhat common. I have no idea.)

I was watching a Let's Play video of a video game the other day and the texture for the water's surface in-game somehow reminded me of it, and it made the video hard to watch.

If we're talking about actual pain, I've had food-related (possibly also medication-related) stomach pain that had me curled in a ball thinking I was going to die and then thinking that might not actually be such a bad idea because then the pain would stop.

I now assume that that must be similar to what some people go through with period cramps. No way I'd want to do that once a month. The handful of times it happened to me was more than enough.

Honourable mention: The weird sting and sensation that isn't actually a smell but is somehow in my nose if I accidentally touch a hidden juvenile thistle in a lawn. Those things are prickly monsters that are just a shade bluer than grass and you often don't see them until you've put your hand on one. Other sharp pains sometimes trigger that "smell" as well. I always associate it with the colour of those thistle leaves though.

I've got a weird issue with the soles of my feet. I'm not ticklish at all, but the soles of my feet react as if the nerves are turned up to 11. It's only for light touches though, I can walk around barefooted with no problems, even on rough surfaces.

If someone touches my feet it's a sensory overload that lasts for a while afterwards. It's a weird combination of light tickling and burning, and feels like there's something stuck to the bottom of my foot for a minute or two after the touch stops. The really weird part is, I can tickle my own feet, but apparently you're not supposed to be able to tickle yourself 🤷🏻‍♂️

My worst is kidney hydronephrosis. Felt like dying from a knife in my side and then every minute or so someone twisted the knife.

Worst pain in my life physically was appendicitis. It set a new high bar.

Mentally? Hurts too much to talk about.

pancreatitis. It felt like someone stabbing me in the side with a dull knife made of burning glass.

I got my tongue split in 2017 so uhh healing that is definitely up there. You basically have the worst sore throat of your life, can't talk, can't stop drooling, and can only "eat" smoothies by pouring them directly into your mouth.

Chewing on styrofoam

You're scraping too hard.

Eating without YouTube 😒🚬

Being forced to walk on a leg that has fallen asleep.

Back spasms and kidney stones.

Bullet Ant bite. People have killed themself to make it stop. It locks your pain receptors to the on position and doesn't allow them to turn off.

Probably pancreatic cancer.
