Toothache! (Although some women will probably disagree and say childbirth). 

I’ve had toothache since yesterday and I’m a wimp when it comes to the dentist. I think I need to pluck up the courage and go though.

    Try some tooth tincture from the chemists?

    I've had kidney stones three times now and women I have spoken to who have had them and children agree that kidney stones are as bad if not worse.
    As for tooth ache I use sensodyn rub it on the affected tooth.

    Earache and toothache are my top two.
    Obviously I know it’s not the worst pain ever - I’ve had kidney stones and endured a 36 hour labour and they definitely top my list - but I find earache and toothache really difficult to deal with.
    Good luck at the dentist Mark

    I still put my toothache above kidney stones, as I’ve had them a few times, maybe they didnt impact me as much as it did for others? 

    The toothache has gone but I have a few mouth ulcers now, going to get some advice from the pharmacist. 

    I still think I best just ring the dentist too and get it over with. The more I over think the more I’ll talk myself out of it.

    I'm glad the toothache has eased off a bit @MarkN88 :) I agree that it's best to get to the dentist if you can though, as it'd be good to find out what's causing it and see if anything needs to be done. You've got this!

    I don’t do pain - I use all pills and potions.  Toothache is one that wins Oil of Cloves or whisky for me - makes me smelly, damages taste buds, puts me in a happy place where toothache hasn’t been invented

    If we are discussing worst pains then for me psychological "pain" wins.

    I went through some really dire psychological torment and at its worst I would have done almost anything to get rid of the "pain" including having all the worst physical pains I've been through back all at the same time :D

    Not trying to belittle anyone's physical pain just saying if anyone wanted to torture me then psychologically is the way to do it, I'd be your slave :D

    Hi, if you have a while to wait for your appointment, then I can recommend a product on Amazon Prime, called "Ambusol"! It got me through an abscess until I got to the dentist. It's reasonable too. Hope it helps. ?

    In fairness after the initial pain it just suddenly stopped and I was fine. Although I have plucked up the courage to go and get checked anyway.

    Sorry child birth snd labour and the whole pregnancy thing isn’t a walk in the park nor is it as nice as a tooth ache. 

    I hope your tooth ache has gone.

    I’d have to say toothache and heart break. Luckily not both together!

    I had a dentist heavily distracted by his assistant drill a root canal without anaesthetic once. The pain went from pain to an extreme heat in my head in milliseconds. I said “wow! That was extreme!” As I pulled myself out of his chair and wiped the tears from my face, do you know what he said...absolutely nothing! He then gave me the injection and all was eventually well.  He was sweating profusely I must say.

    That pain was so so bad I can barely describe it.
