Perhaps the worst thing on the cross is the cramps. The pain of the nails, of the suspension is excruciating, but that of the cramps must have been much worse. I know people who have so much pain in a single leg cramp that they scream.
On the cross, they are cramps on the arms, legs, back muscles, shoulders, abdominals. pain to scream in all muscles.
The crucifixion was without respite and the screams of the tortured were permanent.

Yup. When you get a cramp in your foot or leg, the only way to relieve it is to get into the right position and stretch it out. Being on the cross obviously prevents that. It would be horrific. I wonder how long they'd last when you can't stop them yourself.
 
Can you imagine the infinite suffering that the crucified person in Roman times could feel?

Before the crucifixion proper, there was the cruel flogging and the painful "via crucis" which means that the condemned man was already completely exhausted before he was nailed to his cross and it was erected in awful pains.

But that was only the beginning of the ordeal because the real agony was only beginning!

In the uncomfortable position occupied by the crucified, his muscles contracted one after the other causing strong cramps impossible to avoid or repel.
After a more or less short time, all the muscles of the body were nothing more than hard knots and the agony became unbearable.
The pain and symptoms were the same as for tetanus (condition of the muscles under permanent contraction).
Death was crueler and more excruciating than that caused by tetanus - the slow and continual contraction of each muscle.
Death on the cross prolonged the agony as long as possible.
Each hour became an eternity and it continued to increase with other additional sufferings.

The cross would not let go of his victim and lead him to probably the most cruel and painful of the dead.

Yes. This is an excellent conclusion.

Imagine all these cramps when fixed by nails!
 
Being crucified means constantly 'falling' from the cross, fighting against the pull of gravity on the body weight. The nails prevent this falling, but still, the condemned had to do a lot of effort. Resulting into muscle fatigue, cramps, spasms.

But just an itch on the nose could already have been a torture, since it was impossible to scratch it.

Nobody feels an itch when sliding downwards until the movement is stopped by nails pressing on the bones with the body weight.
