Physically, what is the most painful experience in your life.

[RRfireblade]

Mmm, fell off a building...head first (20'+) landed on my skull. Hit some scaffold braces on the way down but apparently didn't slow me down enuff to keep from breaking my brow bone (skull fracture) on the bricks I landed on.


So....


Anyone of the resulting injuries I guess I would have to say.

[Muzikman]

oddly, as many times as I have gotten hurt, most were not too bad in the pain department. I dislocated my left knee MTB'ing which hurt pretty good. Had my right hip dislocated in a fight, it hurt, but not as bad as the knee. Had a nail go clean through my foot (in to the bottom, of the top on the ouside of my arch).

Those are about the most painful.

Waking up each morning...

I feel bad for people who don't drink... they wake up feeling the best they will all day.

When I shattered my left arm, the doctor pushing, pulling it to make sure I didnt dislocate it. The then nurse taking the X-Ray, SLAMMED it down on the X-Ray machine(she didnt like my dad who was a doctor at the hospital, my mom told me that afterwards), I literally punched her in the gut(I was 9 years old).

EASY Choice but heres my long list of injurys:

Sliced a good chunk of my thum off when a Home made project whent bad (belt flew off at engines redline and wiped around cutting my thumb like butter)

Cut my head open (the back right under the skull) docs said a few mm and id be dead (three stiches withought frezzing at all no time i had lost too mutch blood).

brused ribs (had a truck International 4300 Box Truck roll and the tire pinched my my rib cage stoped the truck LOL)

shattered the cartledge in one knee in a bicycical accident involving a LARGE hill and a rock. Happened almost 10 years ago i still have no feeling in that knee (like i can cut it open with a knife and not feel a thing)

Ford Explorer SUV changeing tire on side of the road and the jack snaped got my hand stuck between the body and the tire whent the truck fell. only some bad cuts thought more shock than pain

Falling off a scaffolding and getting jamed between the scafoled and wall stopping my fall about 6ft from the ground LOL (WALL RASH? on my belly (see being fat does have some pluses id probly have broken my neck if i had not gotten stuck LOL). Painfull yes but more embaresing than anything else.

and of coruse a broken nose and more cuts and bruises than id like to admit.

And the number one most painfull thing i have experianced. A hernia. INDESCRIABLE PAIN and EMBARESSING as all HELL ( think getting kicked in the nuts by a proffeshional soccer player wearing steel toes multiply that by three and add that as constant pain for weeks With smarp increases in pain at ANY MOVMENT). I have lifted MANY objects that are pretty hefty up 45lbs on my own. But what killed me was a bloddy 40lb pump and putting it into a truck. I lifted it stupidly and awkwardly so i would not pill any oil. I felt a small twinge of pain and though nothing off it and continued onto my day. I go home after work go to sleep (i worked nights) and wake up soon after cringing in pain. I try pooping some pain killers to go to sleep but the pain only worsened till i had a hard time breathing. I then decided id have to bite the bullet and visit the docs (something i HATE and NEVER do). Doc says i probly have a minor hernia and i should take some drugs and rest bring the swelling down. I decide screw that i dont want to mis work i need the money so i go to work pop some of his drugs and get my first job (tires and brakes on a big rig IE. HEAVY WORK). I try my best but litterally fall over in pain and nearly pass out. get home piss blood then decide i need more drugs. skiped work for a week took alot of tests and even more drugs and WAY TOO MANY visits to the doc and am told im well enough for some light work took me a good 3 months to be able to lift again without immense pain. It was very painfull and very embaressing as it was something soo tiny and light that had me keeling over in pain. (shoot compared to this all my other injuys were like pin pricks).

I laughed at something when my morphine wore off the day I had my appendix out...

That hurt.

A lot.



I also fell skiing once (badly), took a header off a 20' drop that I missed due to bad lighting... didn't get injured, but it took a few minutes to recover from the wind being knocked out and untangling from my skis (my tails hit the back of my head).

[gimp]

I had my sternum broken in 2 spots, my ribs bent about 4 inches and held together with 2 metal rods. I had a severly concave chest. The doctor said it was the second worst one he's seen. Women who have had the operation done said the pain was worst than childbirth. A different kind of pain. It's your bones bending, it's not comfortable at all. It's the most painfull operation they perform at Mass General. That's what my doctor said at least.

Got pepper spayed a week ago, the 10% stuff.

so. tell us about this girl.


hmm, looking through this thread i can see im fairly lucky. i havent had any memorable injuries since i was pretty little. i still have a scar on my thumb from forever ago when my sister locked me out of the house, and i banged on the glass window. and my fist went through it. it cut off a chunk of my thumb. that and one time i slid into a patch of plants... which ended up being thorns. my whole left leg was bloody, and i spent that night in my family room digging the thorns out of my leg with fishing pliers my parents gave me. they finally took me to the hospital cause i couldnt get two of them out, they were too deep.


and this isnt me of course, but it is pretty bad. my friend was depressed for a while this summer and he finally told me that he got a call from a girl he liked... who was in the hospital. she was walking on the sidewalk and a drunk driver hit her, broke her leg and cracked an entire side of her ribcage... and probably more, i cant remember. she had been in the hospital for 2 or 3 days before she was able to call him on her cell phone.

Hold out your left arm.

Now dislocate your elbow 180 degrees until your pinky touches your shoulder.

Been there. Done that.

[SCpoloRicker]

I've come to the conclusion that I am an utter wuss.

I mean, I've had three surgeries on shoulders. One was decent, I went under, it hurt, etc....

But, wow. There are some ridiculous stories itching to be told over beers out here.

[bam wannabe]

this one time, i ate nothing but doritos for a week straight... and when i had to go #2... i might as well have been dropping razor blades





JUST KIDDING! :rofl:




no really though...

Didn't happen to me, but my college shop teacher Doug was telling the class probably the most painful sounding story I've ever heard.

It went a lil something like this:

There was this guy in shop class who was pretty good size and pretty tough (not a wuss by any means). Anyhow he was sitting on his but with his legs spread out in front of him and was working on some rear drum brakes on a pickup. He went to pull the drum off and it slipped out of his hands and he dropped it smashing his nut inbetween the drum and the cement floor.

Then he ran to the restroom and called Doug in to see it and I guess it was SPLIT OPEN!!!

Anyways he was keeping pressure on it with his hand to keep the pain and bleeding down and when the ambulance showed up they actually taped his hand (and nut) to his leg so they could transfer him to the hospital...

I can't imagine the pain of having a popped nut... that would be insane!

I broke my collar bone at football practice a couple days ago.
At first, I wasn't too sure I did anything serious to it, so I stayed in for a few more plays. I fell onto it, so I walked off the field.


I drove myself to the emergency room where the 'rents met me.

I never imagined how much a broken collar bone could handicap a person. I have the keyboard sitting on my lap. I have to lift my left arm to get it onto the keyboard.

I've got allergies. These are the most painfull sneezes ever.



I also screwed up my tailbone snowboarding. I'm not sure if I did anything to serious to it or not. I didn't bother going to the doctor.
I tried bowling the next day. I got a 26.

[slade]

now what about thordic's story about nickel shots?
