I thought when I lost my dad was the biggest pain but no it wasnt it was when I lost my hubby that the pain hit hard and with that kind of pain you cry rant rave at the world for not finding a cure for cancer. You gather up friends to stay up and talk to you all night in IM like Gabs.
the pain is always there but it dulls some what with time

The biggest pain for me physically was giving birth. I tore badly and had to get stitches (more than just a couple) and during the first few weeks, they were very painful. Luckily I had my twin sister to help me out until I could get back on my feet.
Psychologically, ummm finally getting out of a seven year relationship with my ex. Not going to get into details but I think I wasted at least 4 years of my life with him. There was a lot of pain and suffering involved and I am thankful that I found someone else who is loving, caring, and loves me for who I am. :)

Trying to get our lives back since our housefire. We have done all we can and thus far no one has been willing to help us get the house repaired and our lives back on track. The only option despite the frustration, anguish and lack of hope is to go on. We do not stick in the past since it is the cause of us living as we are now and we really need to repair the house and become contributing members of society again. I will be over it once back in my house again. Will not forget though. Will be grateful though.

My biggest physical pain BY FAR is my knee. I injured in 1998 and in 1999 after the operation the doctor declared it would never get better nor worse. Well it does get worse, at least twice since I have repopped it back out and in which hurts like nothing else. It hurts all the time, and keeps me from being flexible and stuff. My recent injury of the left ankle same as the left knee leg isnt helping me. And 3 weeks later still doesnt feel right. *sigh*
My biggest pschological pain is my low self esteem. I am shy, I am quiet and I let the world walk all over me and surely I still cant fight back. I can only fight back in part when its say my parents or sister. After that I give up. I let customers, friends, and ex-friends walk on me like I am rug on the carpet. Then later I then wonder WHY do I hate myself so much? yeah it sucks being me sometimes!

I consider myself fortunate to generally not have significant physical pain... I get occasional headaches from allergies, but they are pretty trivial, compared to most people's aches and pains.
Psychologically... I guess most of my "pain" revolves around my childhood and upbringing (my parents had a kid, in spite of having neither interest in, nor time for, children), and my past difficulty in forming/finding relationships with emotionally healthy and balanced people.
I believe your quote there is right-- TO A DEGREE-- because unless we understand what brought us from "point A" to "point B," it will be VERY difficult to find a better way to get from "point B" to "point C."

The biggest pain in my liofe is in fact pain. I am in strong pain every day. i can only sit for a while before I get bad pain and must lie down and rest. I wish it would just go away! I cope by getting enough rest, listening to my body telling me when i had enough and need rest, i try to set up my life so i do not stress, and that i do everything in en energy saving way.

My biggest pain in my life is my daughter's health. She has been ill for the past two years with many different things. She is only 16 and has been through a lot, from migraines, to cancer, to PCOS.
I'm still working on getting through it, so it's still there, but the way that I cope is to do a lot of praying! That and my friends are what has gotten me through everything.
We are looking toward the future as much as we can...

My physical pain is from a broken bone in my foot. I broke it in 2002. My doctor, good old NHS, never believed me. It took me 4 years to finally get to see a surgeon with another problem. Different problem, same foot. The bone was repaired just before Christmas last year. I Spent 6 weeks in a leg cast. I now have more pain than I did before the operation. How do I deal with it? I try to ignore it and go about my business. It is not easy, but I can do it.
Emotionally, it was knowing that my parents did not want me. They told me this when I was very young. It has taken me a long time to deal with this. It is the past, and it needs to stay there. There are times when it raises its ugly head, but I deal with it.

No-one can stay in the past...no matter what people think everyone moves forward. You can choose what you bring and what you leave behind - except for the scars and how the hurt and the pain have shaped you. Because the pain and hurt, the shame and guilt, the fear and lies have all made you into who you are today.
We all need love in our lives to survive pain and remain whole. If you have it, hang on to it always because you are very lucky. If you find it, look after it, tend to it nurture it and watch it grow. Be dilligent in caring for the love you have.
If you don't have it and can't find it ....let's just say you aren't healthy, or truly happy and that is very sad because you're probably very alone and trying to prove that you don't need anyone. You must keep your heart open and hope alive no matter how difficult that is. If love comes along and your heart is closed then you're a goner.

Right now my biggest pain is I have a ringing in my ear that was suppose to be fixed by a surgery I had and still isn't and doctor gives me a big song and dance story. Going for a second opinion that is for sure. I so agree with the pains in life that are in the past need to be left in the past. Can't keep on dragging them up. My hubby good at that for sure.

my biggest pain ever is when my x bf betrayed me.
What i did to surpass that i just kept my self busy in my work,i tried to live each day to the fullest though its really hard.i tried to see the other side of my life and understand that there must be a good reason behind that pain.and ofcourse the very powerful thing i did is I just kept praying.Yes prayer really helps.I lift everything to HIm and i cried so hard until i feel that im tired of crying anymore.....till i've learned to accept that pain and finally i decided to move on and give my heart time to mend.Its a long process but its very fullfilling once you surpass it.Your like a survivor.:)

MY biggest pain was having to love a very irresponsible, ungrateful, immature, guy... and unfortunately now- he is the father of my soob to be born child. He was the one who gave me so much pain.. up until now, i havent gotten over him and i admit- i still havent forgiven him.
I know we should always move on from that past but- im having a hard time moving on- with regards to this because he is the father of my child whether i like it or not...
Currently, i am attending a recovery program to help me heal this pain- before i give birth- i hope... I do pray this works for me though... =)

I have had my share of pains in my life.But I don't remember them now.I take some time to get over my pain though.sometimes months.But not longer than that.Only one time,I had to drop out of school for one year because of sickness and I regretted that for the next 5 yrs,I did not like the idea of becoming a junior in class to those who were my own classmates!but that is it.I got over it, and now I tend to take in any pain fairly easily.I too believe that we should not stick to the past.I remember the saying always,"if you think of the past,you waste your present".

Physically, the most severe pain I've ever felt was probably back pain. But the most prolonged physical pain, and almost as severe, was when I crippled my left hand with a radial arm saw at work. It took microsurgery to re-attach my index finger, and a second operation six months later to mobilize it. I went to OT (Occupational Therapy) ten hours a week to regain as much use as I could. By the grace of God, I can still type and play the piano!!! I can't carry anything really heavy with my left hand, though.
Emotionally, my most painful experiences have probably been deaths in the family.

My biggest pain is dealing with my anxiety/panic. I was doing well and now since last winter had to be put on medication and I hate it. I just try to do the best I can each day..but sometimes I feel like it is not enough and that life is passing me by...

My biggest pain both physical and psychological is suffering from Meniere's Disease, which casues severe vertigo attacks, ringning in my ears, and hearing loss just to name a few. It also caused clinical depression, which in itself is hard to deal with and causes physical pain in the form of nasuea, body aches and headaches to name few there.
It is very hard to deal with a disease that causes so many other issues, and it is even harder because no one understands it, in fact most people never heard of it until I got it, including myself. Of course when people don't understand it is hard for them to be compassionate.
It is a struggle but I do get through it minute by minute. Before I got the Meniere's Disease my biggest pain was tendonitis in both of my arms from the shoulders all the way down to the wrists. Now that pain is miniscuel compared to the Meniere's.

The biggest 'pain' in my life is my Fibromyalgia .. it's bad enough to stop me doing a lot of things .. it brings me continual p[ain and fatigue ... and there is no way I can make it disappear .. I also know that for most of the rest of my life I shall have some pain and fatigue on most days ...
Psychologically I can only live my life thinking that the majority of it will have been a waste of time .. due to lack of money I 'exist' rather than live .. and due to fatigue I have no energy to do more than exist ..
It would be nice if we could press a remote switch that would catapult us directly into the next phase of our existence .. and I would have flicked that switch long ago ...

My biggest physical pain in my life, is my constant lower back and neck trouble. Due to an accident about 7 years ago, it is extremely difficult to do anything without pain. Because my liver is so bad (an unrelated illness) I don't take any pain medication. A chiropractor helped me, but insurance does not cover it and I can no longer afford it.
My biggest pain psychologically? It's being bipolar and fighting the disease and the stereotypes that come with it.
I'll be fine though. It's in the Lord's hands and thank God I don't deal with it alone. : )

I agree.It doesn't help living in the past as it can't be rewritten.We should always keep moving forward and not chase the past.Well,I don't have a physical pain and would like to keep it that way.
