I'd rather have pain than nausea..

I'm not quite sure whether I prefer nausea or anxiety

1. Anything to do with rats. I can't even think about the previous page's story about stepping on one without a certain part of my anatomy crawling up inside.

2. Finding a substantial hair in your food and having to extract it from the mouthful gently so as not to break it.

3. The final milliseconds before an accident and the realisation that it could have been avoided, but now it is too late.

4. Stepping on a squirrel.

arpee - wow! Trypophobia is exactly what I have but couldn't find words to describe it! I always thought of it as a fear of cross-sections!

I also really hate being itchy, and the sensation of having wet cuffs after you've done the washing up.

My first world one is when you have a massage and they cover your feet in oil and then having to put your socks on.
In the real world panic attacks ,as many people have said. I know the plane won't crash and I actually enjoy it once I'm on the plane . The lead up though .... Not pleasant. Thank you Mr Diamzepan.

I'm not keen on the feeling of wet sand between my toes when I have shoes on, but I seem to have grown out of really hating that one!

I keep half-waking up having this one where I'm convinced I've got something lodged in the back of my throat and am about to choke to death. It paralyses you with terror. I think they're called night terrors.

No dirty jokes, please. ๐Ÿ™‚

I make lots of aeroplane parts at work and tend to over think things and have started having full-on panic attacks before and during flights. Thankfully my doc now has me well medicated.

Mine are sleep related.
Had two attacks of sleep paralysis a few years ago. Anyone who has had it will know how unpleasant it feels.

Also, the feeling you get when you think you are falling out of bed but you aren't.

Finally, after a few drinks I fell asleep sitting on a livingroom chair. Thought I had nodded off for 15 mins. When I stood up and put weight on my right foot I just keeled over. Had been asleep for 5 hours with my left foot resting on my right calf. Although not painful it felt as though I had no bones in my right leg below the knee. Very off putting and initially quite frightening.

Morphine has no effect on me so I'll go with coming round after having an appendix and neighbouring cyst removed with no painkillers. I don't remember it being painful just a brain with so many signals all saying this is very very wrong.

Or that feeling when it dawns on you that you're not going to make it and you are infact going to shit yourself in public and have to walk on.

I was given Tramadol after recent surgery, but never again! I had horrible hallucinations and nausea. The post-surgical nerve pain (severe enough to keep me awake for 3 nights) was an infinitely preferable sensation!

Tramadol really doesn't agree with everyone, though more commonly young men and old ladies IME.

My most unpleasant was having 10 wound drain pulled out of my shin. Not painful as such but definitely wierd and unpleasant. It was a great piece of surgery and a nice tidy wound, but nevertheless the sensation it being dragged along under my skin was still (as a nurse) one of the yuckest things ever.

Since we're talking surgical things, I HATE the feeling of the screws under my skin where they attached the plate to my collar bone.

Having the pins pulled out of your radius (they were put in lengthways along the bone), without anaesthetic, with a massive pair of pliers.
I was only 15 at the time so my bones had healed around the pins and didn't want to let go.
It was painful, but the feeling of a massive force that seemed to be pulling from the inside of my bones and the cracking/crunching when the pins finally let go was far worse.

Half a bottle of shiraz and 2 tramadol is a nasty combination.

I can also not recommend having a catheter removed. That is very unpleasant.

Having staples removed after surgery was nice in the same way as picking scabs is enjoyable.

Being injured, whole drunk or on drugs.

The pain is tangible, but not really present.

"It'll be reet" I recall saying one night before the doctor stitched my hand together in the morning.

I can categorically state that the least pleasant feeling is that of having a video camera pushed up your old man, all the way into the bladder. Not painful (mostly) but the constant torrent of water sent up there at the same time made it feel as though I was having a never ending, uncontrolled piss and it was really, really not nice. I never knew it was possible to pass out whilst lying down...

Seasickness. When there is no respite, and nothing you can do about it.

Yep, agreed. Been working at sea now for 25 years. Still gets me if I join a ship and sail straight out into rough weather. Passes after 2 days, and a good kip.

Nausea, don't care about headaches but the alcohol nausea when you really hit it is awful. Had a tramadol/red wine induced session recently. Just. Awful.

Asthma attacks are horrendous, had one in Tunisia. Felt like I was going to die.

The worst though is that point of no return when you fart and you realise that you have gambled and lost.

Emsz- bikini wax? That's nothing. Believe me, that's nothing. Electrolysis is much worse!

Mind you, I was told by someone they were doing a bikini wax on a doctor once, who was so tired, the doc fell asleep while it was being done!!

Back to OP, I do have one particular thing I mind. Not painf at all but one I never want to repeat. I just simply cannot describe it on here...

Can I nominate the burning smell when you have your vasectomy cauterised with a soldering iron?

A friend of mine had to have their sinuses cauterised - described it as quite an extreme olfactory assault combined with the sensation of being gently poked in the brain.

Fear

Out of control fear be that rational or irrational is terrifying and maddening.

Once found myself alone in a very very remote wooded mountain hut in New Zealand.

Realised as the sun was setting that it had been the location for a very horrific murder, and to make matters worse had read that the killer had been released from prison that week.

Once the realisation of this had taken hold of my mind... I seriously thought I was going mad with fear.

Horrible

Getting a phone call from your dad that starts 'Don't panic, but......'

That immediately has the same impact as when someone says 'I'm not a racist but.....' - you know something bad is following.

......' Your mum's been in a car crash. The paramedics think she's OK but I can't get near at the moment because the firemen are cutting her out'

Did not enjoy that pit of the stomach feeling. Last night about 8pm.

No serious damage, bit of whiplash, banged knee, very shaken. Thanks to the 3 different emergency services, we had them all last night.

- hearing the surgeon's scalpel scraping away at your cheekbone

I've had similar with minor surgery on my forehead, just done under local with a damp flannel over my eyes. The sound is quite unexpected - scratchy and scrapey - you sort of expect the scalpel would glide through your flesh effortlessly, but apparently your forehead is made of pretty tough stuff, It was like listening to someone trying to cut through an old boot with a fork. The local anaesthetic also makes every touch and movement feel bigger. The incision was less than an inch long but it felt like I was going to have stitches across my whole forehead like frankensteins monster. What was really disquieting was listening to doctors and nurses who all seemed to have comedy german mad scientist accents. There would be a pause in conversation and then I'd hear "hello, we're talking to you" and engage me in surreal version hair-dresser small talk while I'm blindfolded and having my skull scratched.

"you look familiar actually, have we met before"
"well possibly but I'm blindfolded so its hard to tell. I do live quite close to the hospital though"
"yes, yes. I thought so. I recognise your nose"

A very good friend of the family - my sort of third parent really- had quite an enquiring mind. When she had a hip replacement she talked the surgeon out of giving her sedation because she didn't want to sleep through something so interesting.

Could you not see the screen? I found watching the footage & having it explained to me took my mind right off what was going on. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Seeing or hearing Piers Morgan makes me more nauseous than that ^^ did.

Not me but my wife said that having a C-Section on an epidural was very odd/horrid. No pain but she said she could feel the surgeon pulling around on her insides...
