    When I was about 12 I fell out of a tree onto a kerbside and broke my shoulder in three places wasn't sore at all initally a funny pins and needles feeling was all I had. It was later on in Hospital when I was lying on a bed waiting to be seen by a Doctor when he came all cheery like and grabbed me by the shoulders to sit me up in the bed and said "well young man which leg is it" God if I didn't let a roar out of me that time I think he got more of a fright than I did.

    Depends on the part of the finger, accidentally stapling the fleshy part is surprisingly non-painful.

    kidney stones?

    piss them out?

    hmm, how does one get kidney stones in the first place?

    im gonna try to avoid them at all costs.. sounds very nasty indeed..



    well when i was 15 i was on holidays in majorca with my cousin and it was around 1.30pm, pretty hot time, i was running back to our apartment for something or another, our apartment was on the edge of a block with the edge having a small curved part with plants in it..

    they had this metal pipe in the "very" edge to keep the water hoses out, and if u have ever cut something metal in some way or another ull know the top of the pipe has small bits of sharp shrapnel..

    very sharp indeed, anaway i wasnt paying much attention ran past, the pipe ripped into my right leg, strangely enuff i didnt feel it, i got to the door of the apartment to be met by my cousins dad and he asks with a shocked expression "barry whats up with ur leg"

    i looked down and there i saw my bone to my right leg and some of my white tissue i had just removed a 4 inch length by 1 inch width gap in my right leg

    i never really felt the pain, was sheer shock probably, but once i was rushed off to this local medi-centre and the doctor couldnt inject any where else around my leg he had to inject into it..

    i passed out on the table, my dad just tells me i almost crushed his hand, then after coming home and my stiches taken out i was left with nice bits of the stiches to pick out, which wasnt fun either..

    have a nice scar though from the 10 stiches

    ouch :D

    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.

    Did they leave it in by accident??
    that's horrible.

    I got stung by a bee when i was 5.

    Sorest thing ever. Ouch!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 21,377 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    It's not that sore (especially not compared to some of the **** posted here). The one time I got stung by a bee, it was more the fright than anything else, it had crawled all the way up my leg and was about an inch from my tender bits when it stung me. Haunted.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 843 ✭✭✭DaithiSurfer


    just kidding :)

    I've had worse things happen but not for discussion here. Don't want to make people sick

    Ok, I'm finished laughing, now its time to share.

    I went skinny dipping in the south of France (so many things can go wrong when a story starts this way). It was late at night, I'd been drinking wine, alot of wine, anyway that not important. What happened was, as I was pulling myself out of the water, a wave pushed my legs under the rocks, I felt my knees hit something sharp, didn't think anything of it at the time. I came home to Ireland,a few weeks later. I was worried by the ache in my knees, couldn't place why my joints where so sore and swollen, or identify the little spots on the skin. I went to the local hospital, where I was informed after 4 hours in A+E, while the doctors and nurses had called like a million experts, that I had black mediterian sea urchin spines in my leg. Appartently the pollution in the harbour water and the urchins natural toxins had gotten into my blood system. They took another 3 hours to work out with steriled needles, without antaseptic (would have caused more swelling and pushed the needles into my flesh). The pain of two doctors stabbing me repeatedly with long sharp things was almost as bad as the muscle cramps and aches that plauged me for months after that as the toxin worked its was out of my system. Uch!

    I completely forgot about a bout of neuralgia around my ribs I had during my leaving cert years. Tis nasty, some pain nerves just turn on and refuse to switch off. As far as I can remember, it's the only thing that happened to me that had me gasping with the pain. Most likely the most pain I've ever suffered in one go.

    My worst: (in Mallorca)

    Looking at a surgeon 'sanding' the grit out of my exposed chin-bone after I decided it would be a great idea to try cleaning the road with my face while travelling at about 60mph on 125cc scooter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,525 ✭✭✭JustHalf


    Once I was leaning on a makeshift table that broke, falling and slamming my head against the edge of another table.

    Another time I was kneeling on my bunk-bed (top), chatting to my brother on the lower bunk. He pushed my bed up with his feet, causing me to fall about a metre and a half directly onto my head.

    The worst was probably when my and my brother were lying back on opposite ends of the sofa. My legs were open, and my brother had one foot on the back of the sofa. He let this foot drop, and it travelled past my knees directly onto my testicles.

    Basically, an axe kick to the balls.

    Woah, I've realised that some people have gone through more pain then others.

    Just remembered when I was 12 and *playing* in the yard at school, I hung out of a tree , fell, and my hip landed on a fallen tree, right where a branch had been broken off!! Didnt really hurt at the start, but suddenly I just passed out in the middle of the ground!! Went to the hospital and they said that it had pierced my bone a 1/2 inch. Was in agony for weeks (still have the scar)

    Also at school, *playing* British Bulldog, slipped on the gravel while turning sharply, knocked my head off a kerb and subsequently off the ground. Was knocked straight unconcious and brought to hospital.

    Finally, when I was 7, I was tripped and my head went straight INTO the corner of a radiator, imagine my surprise when I realised that my head was stuck!!!

    I had a FREAK motorcycle accident about 3 months ago where the front end slid out from the bike on some Gravel (thank you DL/Rathdown County Council!!!!) & I went nipple surfing on the road & my leather jacket road up & I tore my ENTIRE stomach area.

    NOW that didn't hurt, but what happened after I went to the ER did.

    The proceeded to clean my stomach area with a wire-type brush with a red iodine based solution (despite the fact I told them I am SEVERLY allergic to red iodine & the only form of it I can use is the purified clear form!!!!) for over 45 mins WITHOUT any pain medication.

    They gave me an injection which they said was my pain Medication, which later on I found out from another Doctor that checked my chart cos I wanted to amp up my pain meds cos they weren't working was a ****ING tetanus booster!!!!

    My entire stomach area felt like it was on fire for over 34 hours after it!!!!! Now I got some really ****ty scarring on my stomach from it.

    My advice to ALL those with mopeds or motorcycles - if you only wear a helmet & don't wear a protective jacket or pants, let me tell you - the pain you'll feel from flesh against road is NOTHING compared to the pain you'll feel during the healing process or when they are cleaning you up in the ER.....

    Lesson to be learned people.......................

    ** class dismissed **

    the lesson is never go to hospital!

    Is physical pain the only one allowed?

    Because getting dumped, for the first time at least, is very, VERY painful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 778 ✭✭✭Terminator


    Every time I get a filling. Last time I had 4 needles and it still hurt like hell.

    I was wondering how long it would take for someone to post about emotional pain.

    Yes only physical pain, being dumped is painful but not very interesting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,219 ✭✭✭invincibleirish


    i dunno if anyone saw in the guardian g2 supplement yesterday(tue) a letter to the resident doctor descrived the excruciating pain felt by someone in their anus who was having a ****,my eyeballs watered and my whole body cringed as i read it....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 21,377 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    didn't see that. what was the cause?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 999 ✭✭✭Raz


    Let's see what comes back to me as I write this ....

    Earliest memory of pain is from running around my minders driveway which is on a slope. At the side the slope is cliff-like down about a foot and a half to an alleyway. I fell over the foot high little fence onto my head in the alleyway. When you're about 3 a two and a half foot fall is quite high!

    After that, same minder (I was there most of the day for 12years), I was running in the hallway and tripped. I cracked the top of my forehead on the top corner of one of those small moveable radiators that you plug in. Still have the scar from that one.

    Next up, My brother and I had bunkbeds. My bros friend was over and I went to climb the ladder to the top bed. When I had my hands on the top rung the friend grabbed my ankles and was saying witty remarks like "Ooooh! you're gonna fall". So to spite him more than anything else really (I probably could have held longer but I was getting a bit hysterical too) I let go and fell, using my face to break my fall. I only managed to put my teeth halfway through my lower lip. Blood everywhere though. Went to hospital and got stitches. I thought I held up well at the stitches but my dad said I cried and screamed like the baby I was!
    That was probably the most traumatic experience of my life.

    When I was around 5 or 6 I took the corner into my grandparents driveway a bit too fast on my bike (which had a suspicious lack of brakes!!) and I caroomed (sp?) into the fence the far side of the driveway entrance. One of the fondest memories I have of my nana is when she brought me up to the house as I was bawling my eyes out. Here's thinking of you nan :rolleyes:

    Around the same age I was going down a hill on my skateboard. As I was taking the corner in the middle of this hill I saw I was heading directly for my brother who had one knee on his skateboard pushing himself back up the hill. I heroicly dived to my right, off my speeding skateboard. the result was a huge 'Y' shaped cut on the right side of my right kneecap. My brother and my cousin who was there at the time made herculean efforts at cheering me up though. :)

    The next thing that takes precedent in my memories is when a guy in the yard at school ran shoulder first into my right eye. That left me with a nasty black eye!

    My last year in primary school I was messing in line and had a golf tee sticking out of my ear and I was going "aaaggghhh" pretending it really hurt. It was funny till the guy behind me hit the golf tee. then the screams were real! One of my friends said "I thought you were messing at first." !!!!!!! :rolleyes:

    More recently, during the summer of my 3rd year in secondry school I was doing my neighbours lawn. I was using the strimmer to do the edges and because we had run out of the plastic wire used in it, I decided to use the metal wire that we had for tying up trees. The wire couldn't take the stress of being spun so fast and it broke. It flew off like an arrow and hit my ankle.
    After initially looking for the rock that I'd just whipped out of the long grass I looked at my ankle to see if it was visibly damaged. Needless to say I was a bit surprised when I saw a lenght of metal wire sticking into my shoe!
    "Whew", I thought. "Good think my shoe stopped that!" On closer inspection I realised that my shoe hadn't stopped it.
    "Whew", I thought. "Good thing my sock stopped it!" It was a completely illogical thought but I had it! I then pulled back the sock only for it to slide along the wire.
    I never had as big a shock as when I realised I had piece of metal stuck in my ankle.
    I walked home (I was only living next door and my body still had the natural anestetics going through it) and rang my mum and said "Mum, I've done something really stupid..." She thought I'd burned the house down!
    Went to hospital (second time ever!) and they pulled it out and sent me home without crutches. "No you won't need them, it should be fine to walk on." I'll be damned if I didn't need them.
    When the pain killers wore off that evening it was the worst pain I had ever experienced. It was the first time since the shouldering incident that I cried from pain.

    Only two more to go :)
    Leaving cert year, playing football on the all weather pitch. One of the guys was about to shoot/cross and I ran in and got my foot on top of the ball just before he kicked it. I can't remember anything after that until I got up off the ground with my face covered in blood and gravel! He must have sent me flying when he kicked the ball and I must have been spinning in the air aswell because I cut my chin on the right of my face and my cheek/eye on the left of my face. I got a woefull blackeye from that and a blood spot on my eye which didn't go away for about a month.
    But I'm pretty again, I swear :)

    Lastly, I was at my girlfriends house during the first year of college and she has a basketball pole setup in here front garden. Between where the pole comes out of the ground and where the net hangs over the ground there's a kerb about 8" high. I picked up a Basketball and started to relive my days on the school team. I ran in and jumped to do a layup and landed behind the net. Unfortunately this meant that I landed on the edge of the kerb. At this point I went over on my ankle and proceeded to thoroughly tear most of the ligaments in that ankle.
    Not the first time I've torn ligaments in my ankles but the freshest of the memories (most were from basketball mind you!!)

    So that's the major injusries of my life :) you might say I'm accident prone but I think I'm lucky, I've havn't broken anything yet! And it gives you a great feeling of invincibility :p

    Sorry bout the lenght of this, there was just more and more to add!

    I've broken a leg, cracked my skull and dislocated my elbow, that one was v. sore but the most painful thing to happen is to catch the tip of my willy / foreskin in the zip, at the tender age of 9. The folks had to cut the trousers off me, and were considering calling an ambulance but managed to cut enough of the trousers away that they could work the zip apart and off.

    Oh yeah, I forgot that I split my skull open when I was three. I was knocked out for like ten hours, or something along those lines. I cant remember what the pain felt like, but it must have been sore, as they used medical glue and stitches to but my head back together and I was in hospital for near two weeks.

    Who said imitating the t.v was a bad idea?

    But I still stand by the fifteen punches I received to my nuts one night, being a rather unpleasant experience.
