Hey Youtube, Jim here!
Welcome to Top 10 Archive!
Do you know what CIP is?
It’s a syndrome called Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, and it affects a small percentage
of humans causing the patient to feel no pain at all.
NO PAIN!
Can you imagine?
How intensely would you live if you had no pain?
You’d work out harder, fight harder, and be a lot less careful and a lot more clumsy,
I’m sure.
This gets you thinking though, what are the pains that person would miss out on?
What are the Top 10 Worst Pains Humans can experience?

10.
Peritonitis This is the name for the inflammation of the
peritoneum, tissue that lines the abdominal wall and organs.
It doesn’t just get inflamed for no reason, it’s caused by an infection from either
fungus or bacteria.
It doesn’t sound that bad when you leave it at “inflammation”, but in reality,
this could kill you!
The abdominal pain you get as a result is intense and caused by any movement, you also
have vomiting and constipation.
When should you watch out for it?
Patients are most vulnerable after a stomach ulcer, a ruptured appendix, or pancreatitis.
9.
CRPS A type of chronic pain that you get after
something traumatic such as surgery, injury, heart attack, or stroke.
While most people feel pain before and after surgery, all related to the symptoms themselves,
this pain is far worse.
Patients often say it’s a burning or throbbing pain particularly sensitive to touch and also
causing joint stiffness and muscle spasms.
These symptoms can even last for years!
8.
Stonefish bites Stonefish look like rocks and become camouflaged
on the ocean floor, which is why humans have to be extra careful not to step on them.
They’re found in the Indo-pacific coastal regions and have particular glands on their
fins that excrete deadly neurotoxins when they feel they’re under attack.
Apparently, the number of toxins it releases is proportional to the amount pressured, so
a heavier person may get a much larger hit, and even die within hours!
But before death, the person bit will feel extreme pain and inflammation which spreads
quickly.
They’ll become delirious, nauseous, and sometimes even paralyzed or have seizures.
If bitten, you must seek immediate treatment, but if it was an abdominal bite, even that
might not save you.
7.
Kidney Stones We’ve all seen some representation of someone
having a kidney stone.
Whether it was Joey from Friends or characters on medical shows, we know that it’s like
passing a large rock through a slim straw and that nobody in their right mind looks
forward to one.
The “rocks” that pass are crystalline lumps made of calcium, struvite, uric acid,
and cysteine.
The pain will start below the ribs and the right shoulder - which is definitely not what
most imagine kidney pain feeling like.
Later, they’ll result in fever, blood and pus in your urine, and vomiting.
If they block the tract entirely, the pain is often unbearable until passed naturally
or surgically removed.
6.
Achilles Heel Rupture There’s a very good reason this particular
injury made it into Greek Mythology and storytelling.
It’s a pain of epic proportions.
The Achilles tendon is the largest in the human body and when it tears it’s supposed
to be one of the worst things a human can experience.
Did anyone see that scene in House of Wax where the bad guy’s Achilles tendon is actually
cut with scissors?
That, to this day, is one of the hardest scenes in cinema for me to watch.
People say it feels like getting shot in the back of the ankle.
Luckily, most of us won’t ever deal with an injury like this.
5.
Bullet Ant Sting What if someone told you to put your hand
in a glove full of bullet ants?
That they’d then sting you over a hundred times within seconds, and it was probably
the worst pain you’d ever feel?
Would you do it?
If you’re in this Brazilian tribe you would, because it’s their initiation ritual.
After you’ve seen people do it for years and years I imagine you start to think it
can’t be that bad, but, guess what?
It most certainly can.
According to the Schmidt Pain Index (based on painful insect stings), this takes #1 as
most painful with a score of 4.0+.
The creator of the scale describes the pain as pure, intense and brilliant pain like fire-walking
over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel.
Dr. Schmidt can both create pain scales and paint quite the picture!
4.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Another type of chronic pain that is just
as terrible as it is rare.
It’s caused by a malfunction in the nerve in your face called, of course, the trigeminal
nerve.
This nerve is very sensitive, often acting up when you drink things that are too cold
or have other related incidents and sends pain or discomfort around your jaw and ear.
When you have Trigeminal Neuralgia, what happens is actually a shot of excruciating pain for
no reason every so often.
Any menial task can lead to pain like this.
Though it’s unlikely to go away, surgery and medication can help manage the pain.
3.
Testicular and Ovarian Torsion For men, this incredible, crippling pain comes
after their spermatic cord gets twisted and the blood supply to the testicle is cut off.
The pain is immediate and strong, felt in the abdomen.
If fixed with surgery immediately, the testicle can often survive.
For women, this surgery is the 5th most common gynecological surgery and happens often to
younger women, where their ovary is twisted so badly that the connecting artery or vein
is cut off or reduced.
Women will feel extreme abdominal pain as well as other symptoms.
The ovary also has a high chance of making it if fixed right away.
2.
Childbirth This had to make the list.
Even though 50% of the population will never endure this pain, labor has always been incredibly
painful.
It’s bad enough that it’s told as a punishment from God in the Bible.
Still, we’ve made it slightly more comfortable with medication, and a lot of pregnant women
won't experience it because of cesarean delivery.
It’s different for every woman, but if the screaming you hear in every TV, movie, and
real-life scenario of birth is any sign, I’d say men are lucky they don’t have to experience
it.
1.
Second Degree Burn You might be surprised that Childbirth isn’t
#1 and that it’s second-degree burn, not third, that makes the cut.
The reasons for that are simple.
Childbirth is finished after a certain amount of time, usually no more than 30 hours, and
afterward, you’re likely left with joy and a child you’ll love.
With third-degree burns, the skin is scorched to such a degree that the nerves don’t even
send pain to the brain anymore.
Second-degree burns, however, burn through several layers of the skin causing pain in
every single one.
This pain can last for weeks or more and really bad burns can even require skin grafting.
Burns are truly the worst pain a human can experience.
