Dave of the Ethan, Lou & Large Dave Show had to pass a kidney stone and he said it was the worst pain of his life. We spoke to Dave from his recovery chair the day after it passed.

This sounded awfully excruciating and it got me to thinking...

What's the Worst Pain Someone Could Experience? 

We brought this question to the I-95 listening audience but not until I took childbirth off the table. I said "let's just call childbirth the worst and then move on." Do I know it's the worst? No, but I've learned not to argue against that. These were some of the many responses we received.

Lauren - Oxford, CT

"A kidney stone is probably worse than labor- I births two kids Au natural! Ughhhhh feel bad for you Dave! I just had to get the laser and stent done for two stones 9 mm and 6 mm.. it was not a fun procedure- lithotripsy 2x didn’t work… and I still have the 9 mm stuck in there!! It’s torture… fee better soon."

Ned the Head - Monroe, CT

"Getting kicked in the nuts hurts more than giving birth, over the years women will say let’s have another baby, but I’ve never heard a man ask to get hit in the balls again."

"Most painful thing I've dealt with: ulcerative colitis flare. The entire large intestine constricts like a Charlie horse, over and over, like labor. I was in the hospital for 8 days before they got it under control. ANYTHING I ate or drank, including drinking water, caused spasms. I wanted to die."

Anita Gooddikens - Patterson, NY

"I'm laughing so hard at the segment this morning I missed my f--- exit."

Southern Rock Joe - Carmel, NY

"I had what’s called un-descended or migrated testicle operation when I was 12 so that means one of the beams decides to come loose and works its way back up into your abdomen then you have to be sliced open they fish it back down to where it supposed to be and then staple it in place absolute worst pain in my life and I had shingles and kidney stones but I’m still here."

Carolyn - Danbury, CT

"Here’s the pain: shingles. Because it is extremely sharp pain that doesn’t stop - it reaches an awful intensity and then just STAYS at that intense level for days/weeks. And to make it worse, it can linger in neuropathy after the other symptoms resolve. You can’t sleep because of the pain but you have to sleep to get better but you can’t sleep because of the pain but you have to…etc etc"

Miss Vicky - Pleasantville, NY

"Getting a tetanus shot in my foot after stepping on a rusty nail."

Free Falling Roofer - Southbury, CT

"Here’s the worst pain. My mother in law."
