Whats sorest thing you've ever been through

Stark · 21-08-2003 12:20PM

Playing on a roundabout in the playground, getting my leg caught in something on the ground and ripping ligaments in my groin. Then having to go to hospital, having a nurse tell me to sit with your legs spread open while they x-ray my testicles, I couldn't stand the pain of moving them even a millimeter.

Burning my leg on the exhaust pipe of a motorbike was really painful too (although I was about 3 at the time so I could be overrating the experience).

A friend of mine when in 5th year of school got stabbed in the eye, and had part of his thumb snapped off between the hinges of a massive iron gate. There were other incidents as well, but those are the two I can remember. It was a really bad year for the guy. I nearly fainted when he told me about the thumb.

Having one of my wisdom teeth cut out *without general anesthesia* Normally you have to be knocked out to have it done.

Was supposed to have it pulled, but the dentist realised after he'd got started on it that he wouldn't be able to pull it as it was too deep (hadn't yet grown through the gums) so he took his little dentist drill and sawed it in half and removed it in two pieces. All done under a bit of novocaine applied on the spot. Massive pain. Nightmarish pain.

LA_girl · 21-08-2003 12:36PM

Oh, and the time I had 2nd degree sunburns covering my legs. That was pretty bad.

Sleipnir · 21-08-2003 12:39PM

Dislocated knee (twice) now THAT was painful.

Fell out of a tree onto my head (and i mean straight down onto it) when I was a kid and had a headache for two weeks.
("oooh ee was never the same boy after that fall")

Was sitting on a skateboard with my mate pushing me along as fast as he could.
Board developed a wobble so I put my hands on the ground to stabilize myself, which my friend promptly stood on and skated a few feet on.
The skin on the back of my thumb was worn away down to the bone. Dunno how much blood I lost. Still have the scar.

Breaking my tailbone doing a wheelie, couldn't move for 3 weeks. That doesn't heal and still hurts when cramped into an aeroplane or cinema seat (being 6' 4" doesn't help)

Oriel · 21-08-2003 12:48PM

I've never been to any hospital, only been to the doctor's once for something wasn't that important anyway.

Heh heh heh...
*touches wood

this is fun allright!

my personal best was dislocating my shoulder, breaking my collar bone and 3 ribs after a "debate" in a pub toilet with a junkie loon who decided that a punch to the back of my head while i was taking a pish would be err disarming. I flew acroos the jacks and went shoulder first into another urinal doing all that damage to my right side. Then after a few whiskeys failed to make the pain go away a friend decided that moving my arm would help, it didn't and i passed out. eventually went to A&E where i was left for 6 hours , x-rayed given a few aspirin and sent home. After 24-36 hours of agony i went ot my GP who told me i had definately dislocated my shoulder, went back to hospital where they were a little bit embarassed a failing to spot it , mucho oucho!

As a young fella I decided to take a bumble bee to show my sister, the bee seemed to have disliked the inside of my fist and stung me on the palm, now that bloody hurts !

commuterised · 21-08-2003 01:03PM

janey there's a lot of pain on boards.
I feel the most painful experience of my life is yet to come, well in the far distant future (childbirth)!

When I was 10 I stood on a darning needle(yes it was sticking right up in the air), even now when thinking about it, I squish up my foot, yeeooowww.

When I was 4 I stood beside the superser(those gas fire things), well not beside as in my leg was touching the firey bit, was in so much pain it didn't register until my mum saw me and started to scream. oh I can imagine the singed sking still stuck to the superser, lovely. Spend months in gauze, and still have a delightful mark on my leg to go with the story.

I used to cycle alot...dont anymore for fear of bad drivers, have been clobbered by cars on more than one occasion(once by a drunk driver)...never broke a bone tho...Each quite painful but what was most painful would have been skidding on black ice and going face first into the curb, ended up with a few cuts and scrapes on my face, and 2 chipped teeth...in saying that it probably would have been alot worse had I not been wearing a helmet...

Havelock · 21-08-2003 02:21PM

This so funny, I'm sorry, but reading over this I can't but help laughing.

Trojan · 21-08-2003 02:38PM

Think it must be breaking my nose in a rugby match, bagman coming on and saying "You can't break it twice", and playing on for another 30 minutes...

Woman can cause quite a lot of pain too.

kensutz · 21-08-2003 04:44PM

I got my nose broken in 2 places while playing a soccer match. Went for a header and this fella comes out of no where and leading with the elbow, smacks me straight across the face. I fell on the ground unconcious, woke up to notice my lip and nose were twice as big as it should be. Went to A & E the following day to find out it was broken.

And now you wonder why they outlaw use of the elbows in soccer.

padraigmyers · 21-08-2003 05:07PM

Worst pain I ever went through:
Kidney Stones - male equivilant of child-birth supposedly!
Nuff said......

Tiesto · 21-08-2003 05:12PM

i broke my finger last week playing football and wrecked the tendons but it wasnt a bit soar.Just felt like a sprain.

Stark · 21-08-2003 05:13PM

oh god there's a thought. Ping!!!

TacT · 21-08-2003 07:42PM

why are all these people apologising for laughing? These events happened so we could look back on them and laugh

weemcd · 21-08-2003 08:05PM

i was beind dragged down some stairs, on a chair with no legs when i fell off at the bottom and whacked my ass, its still sore over a week later, cant imagine what a broken tailbone feels like.

15 brawny punches to my balls in the space of three hours. After the first seven I kind of built up an immunity to the yelping out.

so so curious about that one caesar?

me myself, while this one is up there with most embarrsing as well, but i fell down a man hole and tried to stop myself with my ankles going down, basically i dislocated my ankle bone by allowing to to completely break through the socket, when they pulled me out of the man hole, i tried to stand on it (grateful thanks to thoses who caught me when i passed out). I will never the forget the agony i was in.

Also broke wrist last christmas trying to do the karate kid. (lots of beer involved with this one, so not much pain).

When i was younger i swallowed a bee which had landed on my ice pop, it stung me down my throat, my mother said that she though i was dying, my throat swelled so much that they were doing the tube in the throat thing (the hospital, not my parents).
But my parents stopped them (afraid of witchery medicine), and the swelling went down thankfully, allowing me to fall down a manhole fifteen years later.

The appendix bursting is absolutely horrific.... Like a million daggers into ur abdomen...

Also...when I was little, I was in a pretty bad car smash.... car hit another car and I went head first through the windscreen (which surprisingly didnt really hurt) but having a car door land on top of ya and pinning ur broken legs to the ground is probably about the worst pain Ive ever experienced......

Tonsilitis is pretty nasty ...... I remember being in the hospital after finally getting them out and I was looking forward to the jelly and icecream for my poor poor throat, when I was presented with some dry toast and told to start eating. Apparently its better for ur scars ?!??!
Agony trying to swallow sharp toast crusts with a sliced up throat.

DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) hurts like a demon too.......

gazzer · 22-08-2003 02:48PM

The worst pain i ever ever went through was when i was twelve and for medical reasons i had to be circumsised. The pain for about 2 weeks after was unbearable. I had to have a bath with savlon antiseptic for the first week.....

Stark · 22-08-2003 04:55PM

testicular torsion. It was a repressed memory until I read this thread. Basically had one of the veins or ducts or something going into one of my testicles twisted (painful enough in itself) so that all the blood and stuff got trapped and the testicle swelled up to about twice its size. Agonizing.

Lukin Black · 22-08-2003 06:19PM

Most of this has me cringing so bad..

Mine pales in comparison to the rest, but I had a thick piece of clinical gauze removed from my nose after a sinus operation. It was about a foot long by the time they took it out. It felt like coarse, coarse sandpaper. The nosebleed a minute later was something else altogether.

Tiesto · 22-08-2003 06:32PM

well one time, at band camp, i stuck a flute up my arse!

feylya · 22-08-2003 06:37PM

This happene to a mate of mine. He was playin football and got a shoulder to the mouth. The result was a broken gum guard and his palate (bone on the roof of his mouth) broke when his two top front teeth got knocked back.

Spud · 22-08-2003 07:48PM

Listening to you

embee · 22-08-2003 08:47PM

My cousin put his hand into a blender once...... "just to see"

Three of his fingertips are missing...............

My friends(male & female ) ganged up on me one night out and knocked the hell out of my balls - not in a good way. To this day I still don’t know why.

AngelofFire · 22-08-2003 11:11PM

Having to get rid of kidney stones by peeing them out. when i was wee lad

Sarky · 22-08-2003 11:51PM

Anyone ever accidentally staple their fingers? Now THAT'S painful. I wish it hadn't happened 2 hours into one of my mocks...
