    Tooootally misread the word walking :o

    :D Had to adopt a new style of doing that too.

    Chronic diarrhoea on flight from New York to Dublin. In between bathroom breaks i was letting rip some serious gas every 1 or 2 mins. Uncomfortable flight for me , but probably far more uncomfortable for the fella who was seated beside me . In fact he should be posting here, not me.

    Dry needle therapy. It was advised as a remedy to seized back muscles after rough """massage""" (the lines of bruises say otherwise...) and stretching failed.
    I thought it was a fancy name for acupuncture, so figured **** it, why not...

    It really, really isn't :o
    Had this done on my shoulder the needle up through my armpit to the shoulder muscle nearly made me cry.

    In the days following my circumcision I was forced to adopt a new style of walking; think John Wayne with a full nappy and you're somewhere close.
    Just an N away from being post of the year.

    I was also circumcised (as an adult) - have to say, I remember much more low-level discomfort rather than actual pain. Cramp in your leg is much more painful (though brief), IMO.

    i had a bad case of phimosis, i only ever got the helmet back in the rare time i'd get lucky. it hurt like fúck and tough work getting back over the head!

    finally i plucked up the courage to ask 'the lads' about it, and they said, no that's not normal, get it checked out.

    so the head was very sensitive, was sore for about 2 weeks any time it even touched my jocks. so i waddling around until the sensitivity went to normal.

    The most uncomfortable I've ever been would be watching Basic Instinct in the same room as my Granny & Granda.

    I forgot to put my bra on this morning. My nipples were chafing. They were so sore. Nothing I could do all day about it.

    You forgot?

    What do you look like? Need a visual to fully appreciate your pain.

    Had several pulmonary embolii - bloods clots - on my lungs at the end of august. Closest I've come to sudden death according to the doc.

    The pain when they struck was intense - I didn't hesitate to shove the pain killing suppository up my arse when the nurse handed it to me.

    When I was about 12 I had a tooth removed. That's not the painful or uncomfortable part. I went in and the dentist said he'd numb my gum at the start of the procedure.

    He then wasn't sure whether to give me a filling or remove it.(remember now I had my gum numbed at the very start) so he then decided to X-ray my tooth to see if that would help his decision.

    Then he ****ted around and I think saw another patient while I was drooling away with a numb gum.

    So he eventually decided he was going to remove the tooth.(remember I had my gum numbed at the start)

    So he then started to go about removing my tooth. He said and I'll never forget his words "you might feel a little pinch" sweet Devine Jesus and his blessed mother a pinch ?

    It appears the gum wasn't as numb as he thought it was.

    Another tooth story

    I told the old Eastern Health board butcher that my mouth wasn't numb enough when she started drilling the tooth

    She drilled into the nerve

    Getting the packing changed on a perianal abcess for the first time after the operation.

    5 inch deep open wound, about the width of a €2 coin.

    Sadist head nurse give me two paracetamol before changing the wound.

    Nothing in my life even comes close to that pain.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,828 ✭✭✭gosplan


    Getting tubes with packing around them pulled out of my nose after an op and sometime in hospital.

    This was a few days into recovery, worst over and all that put they just rip them out and pull the tube through.

    It's a weird cross between horrific pain and really needing to sneeze.

    Thankfully goes after a few minutes.

    Oh jaysus help us.

    I had to get the other back tooth out a year after. I mentioned that I was very nervous(due to that old Langer the time before) He said don't worry he gave me two shots of the good stuff. :D and a lovely young dental nurse to hold my hand :D I was drooling all the rest of the day.

    Getting a tube inserted into my chest to allow a lung to reinflate. You're basically being stabbed really slowly and deeply by a blunt object.

    Having 14 staples removed from my skull post brain surgery.

    Waking up post brain surgery and vomiting my guts up

    It was after my knee operation. They broke my knee and cut tendons on one side to shorten them and stretched the tendons on the other side to lengthen them so my knee wouldn't dislocate on its own anymore. My leg was in a plaster of Paris and I'd morphine afterwards but absolutely nothing stopped the pain. It was horrific and it took everything I had in me not to scream.

    I had a catheter in after an operation, and I had an awful urge to wee. The nurse told me that couldn't be possible, and only took it out when she could see how uncomfortable I was. I p1ssed like a race horse after , the relief !!

    I had to start asking to be numbed to get my teeth cleaned. I can't stand it, I would nearly be lifting out of the chair with the pain of the cold water on some teeth.

    Nothing life threatening or overly serious for me but some stomach bug or food poisoning last year. Sorry fir being graphic but...

    Pain like nothing else I had ever felt before in my stomach and a world record for toilet use in a 48 period. I'm not even sure what could possibly have been coming out after the first dozen times. Literally had a raw arse from so much wiping.

    That was me last Christmas! But I thought it was a hangover initially and brought the kids to a Panto...I can't stand Al porter since.

    I had my back waxed ( about 3 Xmas ago) and a few days later it started to grow back and I was wearing a Xmas jumper out and it was ridiculously itchy and I ended up going home early I couldn't stand the itchyness.

    I was on the tube in London and I felt something around one of my my ankels. I looked down and I saw a piece of material sticking our from the bottom of my trousers and realised it was the pair of underwear that I had worn the day before. I decided just to leave it as if anyone see me attending to my ankel then it would alert them to what had happened.

    I waited red-faced till I got to my stop and proceded to walk out of the train and then station exit feeling the underwear falling out more and more as I walking along, making it more and more visible. I dared-not look around to see if anyone noticed. On the street pavement I pulled it out as fast as lightning and though phew thank god that's over and threw the underwear into the nearest bin.

    Either 32 hours with no water or 10 hours absolutely dying to pee. I know people regularly fast for a full day and are grand but I found the discomfort unbearable after 20 hours or so. I don't know how they manage. The actual pain and discomfort of needing to pee was worse in real terms but the added stress of not having water made it seem much worse compared to knowing that I could/would pee if absolutely necessary.

    I put up with a very bad wisdom tooth for about a year and two months before getting out. Currently having crippling back pain from five damaged disk in my back 2 are herniated and another on its way out as well due to having no curvature in my lower spine. Also have Degenerative disc disease. On top of that its been wearing on my hip and knee and now gone down into my foot work is an absolute drain.

    Learning to use tampons. Being stuck on a bus to a festival for six hours after drinking a flagon and the bus driver refused to stop for a toilet break.

    Gout .
    Suffered with it for a very long time, If you touch my toe with a feather it was like a hammer hitting a nail.
