What is the worst injury/illness you have ever had?

T.I.A. in 1993, with temporary loss of feeling in my right arm, followed by another while in hospital, resulting in temporary loss of feeling in my leg and 3 weeks in hospital. Then glandular fever acquired in hospital took me back in 4 weeks later.
Worst pain would be sinusitis and being sewn up following the urgent delivery of ds2, without anaesthetic.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

Stop responding.
No matter how many times people are warned that the purpose of his threads is data-mining, they seem to carry on regardless.

As someone else has said, it's all relative.
Meningo-encephalitis wasn't good but far worse was the lumbar puncture to diagnose it! Lying flat on my back for weeks and weeks in a record breaking hot summer, was dreadful.
Really bad cough to the point of vomiting for nine months - not sleeping etc, awful.
But the worst thing was removal of a broken infected wisdom tooth and the infection got right into my jawbone. I was unable to take ibuprofen or simple antibiotics due to other medical problems so had to only take paracetamol and a very slow acting antibiotic so boy, did I suffer! Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, convinced I was losing my jawbone!0 -
