I'm not talking about life threatening illness or anything, but I'm currently in the middle of some dental work having lost a fight with a metal strap that hit me in the mouth.
Tonight I'm suffering from a bit of toothache that turned into a raging bull of pain as soon as I stepped out into the crisp air outside, meaning I've had to cty off work. Dentist trip in the morning I think.
What's worse than toothache or ear ache? I find with pain in other parts of your body you can seperate yourself from it to some degree, but mouth and ears just seem to be all encompassing when they're hurting.
So aside from a kick in the knackers, what's worse?
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
There's nothing comparable to tooth trouble is there.
I broke a front tooth not too long back and still have the 'temporary' cap on there.
I'm not looking forward to the real thing being done as it's root canal work and by the look on the dentist's face when she told me I'm guessing it's not going to be pleasant.
I've had canal work on a back tooth before but get the feeling this is more sensitive stuff. That was pointless as a couple of years later the tooth broke in two and had to be removed. £850 down the drain.
My back went in October while I was practicing hockey, it was painful but not to bad when I got home, next morning I couldn’t stand straight and took me 10 minutes to get down the stairs at times it felt like gravity was trying to crush my lower back.

....I dropped boiling water on the top of my bare foot.
About 10 square inches of skin came off and unless I had my foot in ice cold water it was the most painful experience of my life for about a week.
I then had the issue of footwear while it healed, more pain.
Not strictly an ailment, but burns in general fooooooking hurt.
Burns are a good shout actually, nasty feckers.

Similar with me. Back pain playing footy. Managed to drive gingerly home. The pain was so bearable I couldn't sit up and went to lie down on the floor. WifeSentence told me not to as I wouldn't be able to get back up again. I ignored her and couldn't get back up up again. Actually I would have been happy to lie there all night but wifeSentence insisted on helping me up, whereupon the pain got so bad I fainted. As I made gibberish noises as I was coming round WifeSentence thought I had had a stroke and called an ambulance. They insisted on completing the call out even when it came clear that I wasn't having a stroke. They checked me over and I nearly fainted again so they took me, for the first and hopefully only time, to the hospital in an ambulance. I waited, lying down on a trolley for 4 hours by which time I felt fine and danced out of the hospial and back home.

I must be a sadist - that made me laugh far too much!
If anyone else has a routine like mine which involves cycling about 20 miles a day, I wouldn't wish you a bad case of piles.
Had a bunch of the nasty bstrds for about a week last summer, and could feel the pain from sitting on them in the back of my eyes and chest (obviously in addition to the pain in the chocolate starfish)
Guts, which mean you can't eat most of what's in the shops & can't socialise normally; backs (as already mentioned) and necks. Incidentally, it was only after an op on my neck that a couple of foot problems that had been bugging me for years, defeating the best efforts of both podiatrist & GP, disappeared as if by magic!
Toss up between glandular fever in my first year at uni(which also ensured I couldn't bloody drink for six months after, because it mucked with my liver) or a dental abscess that was first horrifically painful, then came out as a honking great big lump that made me look like I was concealing a golf ball in my gob and culminated in spending a week on metronidazole, which is officially the worst of all the antibiotics - it makes you puke your ring if you so much as sniff a beer, makes everything taste metallic and instills a constant low-level nausea.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.
I dropped my tablet edge drown on my little toe and the one next to it. It was a Deputy Dawg moment (for the aged posters!) God the pain! But yes, toothache is the worst.
I managed to wreck all the ligaments playing football at the age of twelve and the pain was so bad I couldn’t breath or move. But unlike toothache the worst of it passed quite quickly.
