Hands down Hemorrhoidectomy. No comparison to childbirth (9lbs 3 ozs 21 inches completely natural and 9 lbs 13 ozs 22 inches long 2 weeks overdue), broken bones, nose job, spinal stenosis, 4 degenerating collapsing cervical disks, back surgery, breast surgery. 3 1/2 weeks after procedure could finally drive for 5 minutes without feeling like wound was going to tear open. I'm not talking about bands or anything like that, but actual surgery. Mine will take months to fully recover. Keep in mind that the wound is not always stitched (mine was not and resembles the Grand Canyon), bleeds regularly for weeks and it's in an area that you use whether you like it or not fairly soon after surgery. After a week I was in ER and put on very strong pain killers that just barely took the edge off for maybe 2 hours. It was a very necessary procedure and I'm so happy I went through it now in my 40's because recovery would only be worse as I age. Be prepared, it will take weeks, possibly 3 or more to return to work. Drink LOTS of water and consume LOTS of fiber. Docusate has sodium and I took too many trying to counteract the affects of the pain killers so try a variety of methods to keep BM's gentle. Gallons of Prune Juice... Plenty of sitz baths or just spend as much time horizontal (gravity adds to the pain) and in warm water as possible. Keep the area pristinely clean. Anything less and the already torturous recovery will only be worse.
I'd have to say I had an abdominal resection for colon cancer where they took out about 2 feet of my large intestine. I also had a total knee replacement, which is very painful also.
I am told one of the most painful is the repair procedure for Pectus Excavatum. It has a recovery time of 6 months, has you on epidurals for 3 days straight afterwards, and essentially makes you feel like you broke every single rib in your chest (the rib is one of the most excruciating things to injure). I am due for the surgery in about a month and the doctor has been prepping me for the intense resulting pain!
The surgery to correct Pectus Excavatum known as the Nuss Procedure can be very painful, especially for people over the age of 18. I was 28 when I had the Nuss Procedure (1 year ago today), and still have random pain & 'soreness' due to the titanium bar in my ribcage. Its the equivalent of having all 24 ribs broken all at once. Your ribs are pushed outward, just to the point of snapping, and held in that position for 2-4 years. Thank goodness I have that 1st year behind me now.
I would think that anything do with a joint replacement, since bone related pain is among the most severe, and likewise, amputation of a major limb since there is total loss of limb and flesh as well. Another thought would anything that would relate to removal of a segment of vein, or skin harvesting for skin graft. (Some told me that this was done to him after his leg was cut off by train.) I have heard that adult circumcision can be QUITE painful.

Yes but its a very painful process it takes a lot of surgeries
Laser resurfacing is not painful, but it will require a recovery period of ten days to two weeks
Recovery from spine surgery is a long and often painful process. Your doctor will prescribe physical therapy to help speed your recovery. Be sure and follow that regimen carefully for the fastest recovery.
Due to improved pain control, advanced medical techniques--including those that reduce recovery time--and cost-cutting considerations, more and more surgeries are being performed on an outpatient basis.
Yes, it is fairly quick. Especially when compared to more invasive surgeries where they need to cut.
That's pretty normal! :) Most people get them by age 25 or so. But some people just don't get any wisdom teeth at all. Be thankful! :) No painful surgeries!! :D

more painful, most painful
It helps with recovery, makes the muscles supple and less painful again.
