I had a dental implant once. Now I'm glad they completely sedated me before they started, because I never noticed anything until it was all finished

[@doctordootch]

I had an implant done in 1991. Took a few visits.

How much was it? I’ll need several in the future and my insurance refuses to cover it.

I got an implant too, just local anaesthetic, it was odd when they drilled into my jaw for an hour, but it didn't hurt

@Tony From Syracuse I just had two put in and I had no pain whatsoever. I had more pain with a bridge Than with the implants. If you can get it done then do it.

[@2001coolchemist]

As a dentist, I stopped watching when you said a dental implant is one of the most painful procedures. Yes it's true that if you aren't anesthetized any dental/medical procedures can carry pain/discomfort. However a dental implant surgery on its own (as graphic as it sounds) is one of the easiest surgeries to numb the patient for, and one of the surgeries associated with the least amount of pain after.

[@msvaj]

I wish what you are saying is true cause I need a few of them done. I hate needles, even at my age, I still cry when I see a needle going into my skin.

Yeah, it wasn't THAT bad. Only slightly worse than a root canal, honestly.

My husband had a crown snap off for some reason, and he just had an implant in his maxilla. Time between break and completion of the procedure was only 2 months. He was inconvenienced by not being able to blow his nose, but he didn't complain much about the pain. I'm also getting an implant, but it's from a shoddy crown in my lower jaw. The original cracked tooth hurt more than the extraction I got yesterday, and more than when my crown snapped off. (Army dentists aren't very motivated to do high quality work, and we were both army.)

[@Nerraw3134]

@@msvaj what he's saying is true! My father is a dentist (and I was initially studying to become a dentist before changing majors), I have spoken to him at length about several procedures, and I can confirm that what Basal Dabbas is saying is true. As long as you're fully anesthetized you won't feel a thing! Also if you do feel anything at all, let your dentist know and he will give you more anesthetic before proceeding. Hope this helps to make you feel better!

[@LilXezon_1121]

The most painful medical surgery I've had so far is a Liver Transplant, my entire body was so messed up afterward, I couldn't sit up because my abdomen was completely cut open, and it's honestly the worst thing I have ever experienced, it took my body 6 months to stop hurting and even now when I get a pain in my side from running I have flashbacks to being in the hospital bed. This was December 4th, 2017.

For me, it was getting a piece of my brain cut out, and then waking up to find out my brain was swelling, which is obviously dangerous too. Doctors said it was pretty rare for that to happen. It took over a week for it to go down. The surgery was resumed and it went fine. That's the worst pain I've ever been in though. Edit: If anyone's wondering, I had epilepsy seizures. I had it somewhat under control with high dosage of medication, but when I did have a seizure, it was severe. I had to be revived once. So my neurologist said the best thing to do was find the source and remove it. It was my left temporal lobe. My neurologist said it was pretty much destroyed at that point(former neurologist had done nothing for years). So it was removed, and it cured me from epilepsy. It was in August 2010 when I was 12 years old.

As a victim of dental neglect when I was a child I have had 7 root canal surgeries as an adult (with more to come). I'm pretty much used to them now and they don't hurt me at all. Except for one time when the anaesthetic wore off during an operation once. There is no pain in the world that I could compare that to. I can't even begin to describe it. It is like every sense your body is capable of was enhanced to the point of sheer agony. It hurt to breathe. It hurt to open my eyes because everything was too bright. Even the quietest of noises sounded like being front row at a death metal concert. I could literally hear the air moving around the room and it was deafening.

That was the most rediculous pain I've ever experienced. Not only was my body in shock, but my entire abdominal area was sliced down the middle. You don't realize how often you use your abdominal muscles until they're cut. I had to force myself to walk every single day and it was too much. Not to mention not being able to eat for a week and having a NG tube down my nose.

For #2, you forgot to mention that most lumbar spine surgeries (like mine) are done through an abdominal incision much like a C-section. One surgeon literally holds your guts out of the way for 4 hours while another surgeon literally reaches all the way through you to work on your spine. Insane. And yes, the pain that I woke up to in the recovery room (and what awaited me in the following months) was absolutely unimaginable, from the bone aches to the spontaneous muscle spasms that felt like my abdomen was trying to tear itself open again. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have an artificial replacement disc instead of a vertebral fusion! I have almost full range-of-motion.

[@spikeybunny6577]

Yep. Mine was a 360°. My abdominal incision was about 8” up & down around my belly button, removed & replaced the discs, fused the vertebrae from the front…, once fused through the front & my guts put back, they flipped me over and cut 3 different incisions along my spine from the back to install the pedicle screws & rods. Loads of fun! & a few years later, they did it all again a few levels up….

[@theruggedden5177]

My wife had (or was told) to have an arterial blood pressure monitor put in during her C-Section. Biggest issue is that my wife has notoriously been a VERY difficult stick (needle wise) and they literally couldn’t get the needle to go into her artery in her wrist. They called just about every person they could and tried countless machines but it just wouldn’t go in. I’ve NEVER seen my wife is so much pain ever, she was so over the pain that she told the hospital she’d rather be discharged right then and there and go to another hospital to have the baby in another day or so. This was all at John’s Hopkins in Baltimore. They ended up just putting a blood pressure cuff on her and she was just fine.

Ridiculous. I've had four brain surgeries, more dental surgeries than I can count, gallbladder removed, thrombectomy to remove a pulmonary embolism, bone marrow draw, and some other minor surgeries. Sure there was pain after each, but that's what pain meds are for. The only one that was extremely painful during was the bone marrow draw, and I've certainly had worse pain than that in my life. If you're feeling pain during a surgical procedure, then you and the anesthesiologist need to have a very looooong heart to heart. I actually asked them for more pain killers (aka, fentanyl) during the thrombectomy because I could feel them rummaging around in my chest. At first it was just odd, then it started getting painful. That was the point where I scared the surgeon and asked for more fentanyl. He assumed the twilight anesthesia had put me to sleep.

Not that it compares, I've had several crown implants done. And during each procedure, the anesthesia wasn't enough; there were certain spots in which I could still feel pain. I assumed the anesthesia couldn't be any stronger than this, so I would have to endure. Which I did. But one event later, they drilled a tooth in which a nerve seemed unaffected by the anesthesia, and the pain I felt was excruciating. That's when I told the hygienist about the pain and immediately thereafter, they gave me more anesthesia and we were able to resume the procedure with no pain. It took over two hours to get it done. The moral of the story is, Don't be an idiot like me. Whenever you feel any pain or sensitivity while a dentist operates your mouth, immediately tell them about it and get more novacain! There is no shame in that. Enduring when you don't have to is unnecessarily taxing for the body and the brain. Be smart unlike me.

Not only that, but we don’t use staples for hemorrhoids. We typically use either suture or rubber bands.

That's great that your grandmother didn't experience that much pain but that's definitely not how it goes for everyone. And any time a medical professional tells you it's "not that bad" it's because they don't know personally or they just don't care.

Well pain in each individual is different honestly. What one person deems “the most painful experience in their life” can be different to someone else. There are medical and dental procedures that have high statistical rates but from what I’ve seen (also in this thread) is that pain is subjective.

I can confirm that a spinal fusion is really painful.. I‘m 26 and have already 9 vertebraes fused, from C0 (the back of the skull) until my second thoracic vertebrae. The days after the surgery were incredible painful. I was on Fentanyl, Ketamine and Methadone and still had pain when I had to stand up. Even now, 6 months later, it’s quite painful from time to time. The vertebraes lost their function, so the muscles are angry. 😅

Having fibroids removed doesn't hurt at all if you have endometriosis! I had one so big, that ultrasound techs usually ask if I've had a c-section. Nope, just that fibroid removal! The part that hurt about that recovery was the bloating, but that didn't last more than a couple of days. The army cut the required recovery time down by more than half, so unfortunately my intestines and some nerve tissue fused to my scar, which hurts when I cough, but is still more pleasant than endometriosis WITH the fibroids.

Well with the local anesthesia they would usually put a numbing gel over the area to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure then 10 mins later they ask you of you are numb enough then they will use the needle.

I've had 3 of these already. I had to have a hemorrhoidectomy a few months after delivering my daughter (Which I did with NO pain killers and needed 8 stitches). I was out for the actual procedure, so that was fine, but the pain in the following 2 weeks was so bad, that I actually fainted twice. If given the choice ever again, I would deal with the hemorrhoids. That was 25 years ago and I still cringe even as I type this. I remember the stitches although they were dissolvable, they would still pinch really bad. ugh.

Depends on the reason for the hip replacement! A lot of people find it very painful and a revision of a hip replacement (for example due to damage from a metal on metal hip) was excruciating and took even longer to recover. I am really glad that yours was OK! I completely agree that it wasn't my most painful orthopaedic procedure- that was when they cut both hips up and bolted them back together like a jigsaw

My hip replacement in July was easy peasy. Prior to it it was misdiagnosed as me needing a third back surgery from my CT Mylogram. It may need operated but is painless so duh!!! I begged the VA to look at my hip. I was on a four wheel cart to get around. The last 4 months I fell 3 times and sat on the edge of my bed 24/7. I finally gave up and went to see my back surgeon. He saw me struggling to walk in the building and without missing a beat had the nurse get an x-ray of my hip. Boy was I hot!! It was fractured and being miserable for 10 months showed signs of healing then refracturing from falls from having a fractured hip and walking/ limping bent over on that cart and losing my balance. Standing up from the toilet was so bad I pulled the sink just to the left of me outta the wall a little at a time over 10 months. Bone spurs that were jabbing at nerves and surgery 5 days later. Easiest recovery I ever had from about 14 surgeries I’ve had. I’m 57. 3 back surgeries,2 shoulder, 2 hernia with mesh, sinus, rhinoplasty on my nose,tonsils and knee replacement 2 months after the hip this October. The back surgeries were tough but my knee replacement was brutal. 6 weeks of horrible post op pain.

My cheeks swelled so much that I could actually see them in my peripheral without a mirror. The second time (getting the posts put in) was even worse because I knew what I was walking into and it actually somehow hurt more. It was totally worth it in the end though. Being able to just drive my face into a burger or a whole fruit and just bite off a piece still feels like a super power. Also, I have the totally awesome memory of the day I finally got my teeth installed and my dentist kneeling on top of me, wearing a full face shield holding a diamond grinder to my face and sparks flying out of my mouth, yelling over the noise "keep your tongue back or you lose it!" as he shaped and sharpened the cutting edges.

Which of course there's swelling in the bone then there's going to be discomfort. My doctor actually offered to write me out pain medicine but I couldn't take it so he at least wrote me out some ibuprofen 800s and I remember being in the line at CVS starting to panic because the lidocaine was wearing off and it was starting to hurt pretty bad. I think the sales lady could tell I was in pain and hurry up and gave me my medicine and I popped one ibuprofen 800 right then and there in the parking lot. Within 15 to 20 minutes all my pain was gone. Not one ache or pain. Don't be fooled by what people tell you is the lesson I'm trying to tell you.
