Same here, about two years ago. I hope never to feel that kind of pain again...:shocked:

What? you living in da hood or something???

Nahh, I just have a habit of having to save the day. Usually ends badly for me.

 

[IEC]

1. Getting shot in the left testicle with a .68 caliber paintball from <10 ft. away. Swelling and pain for weeks, but no permanent damage. Lesson: wear a cup, or don't play.

2. Running a ~104F fever while having an especially virulent form of flu. I thought I was going to die that night, and definitely couldn't sleep... another guy in the dorms that got sick at the same time was taken to the ER...

3. In-line skating downhill onto a different road, car came out of nowhere so with no brakes my panicked slide-stop attempt caused me to tumble into a 2.5 ft stone wall @ ~30MPH and over into the brush on the other side. Had abrasions and cuts all over my body, estimate 10-15% of skin surface, plus bruises. Smarted like hell. Lesson: don't skate downhill in skates without brakes, or learn how to slide-stop better. I used up half my first-aid kit that day.

That was my last major pain... dam near felt like i was transforming into something. broke half of one of my incisors while bending to sit down on a couch with a beer bottle in my mouth.

That bit about damaging a tooth just reminded me of my involvement in someone else's pain. I think it was in second grade - I was playing tag with someone else, but she tripped on a rock and fell onto a steel jungle gym, right smack on one of her teeth. It wasn't a baby tooth either. I think it split down the middle. I wasn't directly involved in the injury, it was just a trip during a game, but I still feel bad about it.

Dude, I have that same bad memory... I saw my brother fall and break his front tooth off on a rock when we were walking down some rocks to go fishing with our Grandpa. He broke his left front tooth right in half... think Lloyd in "Dumb and Dumber" but with both sides chipped... *shutter*.

:beer:

 

[T9D]

Blowing out my knee. Seriously there is no reason we should be made to have THAT much pain. I get it, there is something wrong with it. It was insane pain I was screaming out (not a girly scream).

That and when I broke my arms in 5 places at one time. I fell 25 feet out of a tree when I was 10. Basicly did a dive strieght down into the grass.

 

[sdifox]

Cracking the ball of tibia where it meets the foot (ankle I guess). Playing volleyball, jumped up whilest doing 180 turn because idiot teammate put the ball on the net. got slammed by 2 gorillas from the other team (they hit me, instead of ball). Me land with legs crossed, landed on the top of my foot, snap, crack the ball of the tibia. I was just sucking air. You don't know true pain until you can't scream...

Tendinitis in my foot... both of them... was on NSAID for a week. I couldn't even touch my foot. Doctor asked me if I am an avid athlete. I pointed to gut and just laughed.


Running around one of those thing that spin, there is a tree stump! Whack, dislocate one of my toes. That was not the painful part... The painful part was whem the bonesetter pulled the toe outward to reset it to the proper place. Again, air sucking, tears streaming time.

Stabbed in the leg with scissors. Curtesy of my brother...


Surprisingly, big shard of glass hitting the outside of my eye socket was not painful... bloody, but not painful.

 

[rudder]

rotator cuff surgery. Although the surgery itself was not bad. It was the 2 days after when I was on a plush couch and had to get up to take a leak. Every which way I rolled it felt my shoulder was about to burst open. I had to wait until the wife came home and helped my up... but that was still no less painful.

I've blown out both knees (ACL) and know what you mean. I have a bad feeling mine was a girly scream. However, I think therapy was more painful than the actual injury.

In the past month I've had shingles and a pinched nerve, both very painful. We caught the shingles before they spread so I did get saved on that one. The pinched nerve was miserable for 2 days until the muscles relaxed. I could not move without a shooting pain going down my leg and thru my back.

pffft thats nothing. How about my arm that got squeezed (finger nails in flesh included) all to hell while my wife decided to do a natural childbirth. Now that is pain.

 

[Canai]

Once I got shoved into a stove where there happened to be a big pot of boiling water... 6x4" 2nd degree burn on my elbow.

That or right after I had surgery on my scaphoid... It hurt so bad all I could do was lie on the floor and throw up

 

[SampSon]

I was attacked and mauled by a pitbull when I was a child.
It tore a couple holes in my arm and ripped up a lot of flesh.

 

[Bryophyte]

Unmedicated childbirth. Twice. I think some of you guys have had worse though, especially people with extensive burns. I've had 3rd degree burns a couple times (not sunburns) and they sucked. Cutting the end of my left index finger (and healing up from it) was exquisitely painful as well.

 

[Rage187]

7 kidney stones in 6 years last one being 5mm that I passed unassisted.

 

[Darwin333]

3rd degree burns over 1/3rd of my body caused by 700 degree roofing asphalt when I was 16 years old and working a summer job. Basically, I was hauling some material backwards and the crane driver, who was acting foreman while our normal foreman was on vacation, pushed a mop cart directly behind me without warning me. I hit the back of my knees on the cart and fell backwards into the hot asphalt. My right hand instinctively went back to brace my fall and actually sat in the asphalt for a good 60 seconds. I was leaning back to far to stand straight up so I rolled over to get out of it and the whole thing basically dumped on my back and arms.

Asphalt isn?t like cooking grease. Grease gets on your skin at 500 degrees and a minute later its at room temp. Asphalt on the other hand just keeps on cooking so the crew threw two water coolers full of ice water on me to shock the asphalt. That saved my hand but presented a new problem. When I got into the burn clinic the asphalt was basically fused to my skin and they only had one way to get it off, by peeling it off (along with the skin it was fused too). Think being flayed alive. They couldn?t put me to sleep because I was in shock and they couldn?t give me massive doses of morphine for the same reason. So, for 4 hours they peeled my skin off while I screamed like a bitch in more pain then I thought the human body could endure before shutting down. It was so bad that, even though I didn?t want to die I wouldn?t have thought twice about shooting myself at the time simply to make the pain stop.

Unfortunately the story doesn?t stop there. The treatment for burns like that is almost as bad as the injury itself. Every morning they woke me up and brought me to a room with a stainless steel chair that sat on a pedestal with all kinds of hoses coming out of it. There I went through my daily debreedment (sp?). That is where they basically take a steel brillo pad and scrub the hell out of your fresh burn wounds. The point is to remove all the dead skin to avoid infection and to allow new skin to grow. The mental and physical pain is unexplainable. I tried to stay awake at night as late as possible because I knew as soon as I went to sleep I would awake to that god forsaken room. I begged and pleaded with the nurses to not bring me to that room everyday but every god damned day they would wake me up and take me in there.

The two skin graft surgeries that I got while in the hospital where a cakewalk compared to the rest.

Too bad there isn't a cool prize.

I didn't even go into the year of almost daily physical therapy I had to go through just to be able to hold a pencil.

 

[xboxist]

Jumping 30 feet off of a bridge into a river (at night; couldn't see much at all). Misjudged the distance, over-rotated and landed 100% flat on my back. Aside from knocking the wind out of me, the force of the impact cracked my sternum.

Had my best friend not have jumped with me (unlike the other 6 chicken sh*ts that stood there after we all counted to "3"), I likely would have died. Such a fiercely painful and intense few moments. He dragged my ass to the shore. Between panicking about the lack of breath, and dealing with the pain from having a cracked breastbone... I'm still shocked I didn't pass out or something.

PS -- we scoured that jumping area for rocks and other obstacles earlier in the week. The river was a good 20 feet in that spot.

 

[purbeast0]

I was too young to remember the pain when I broke my femur after I was hit by a car and dragged 90 feet.

But I do remember breaking my left ankle and spraining my right ankle at the same time about 2.5 years ago, and that was the most painful thing I've ever experienced that I can remember.

 

[Fritzo]

LOL- I mentioned this topic to a friend in the desk next to me and he said

"Well....they didn't have lube in prison..."

You make me feel bad for even posting in this thread. Sorry to hear you went thru that.

 

[DaShen]

Fell onto the curb on my lower back playing basketball. Extremely painful! I was actually crying and screaming and that never happens. My friends were really scared because they have never seen me act that way before.

I had that. Trust me a back injury is much worse. Although the dislocated knee is really painful too. Popping it back in place hurts like hell.
