    I think I posted in one of these threads before but anyway..

    Torn Cartilage in my knee. Twice . Took 8 months to diagnose both times. Oh and very badly fractured my knuckle a few years ago too, surprising not that sore to be honest, it made for some cool xrays all the same :o:D

    Childbirth!

    Seriously? you can remember being born and it hurt? Was your moms womb lined with sandpaper and barbed wire eh??


    As for me it was after i dad pilonidal sinus(look it up) and they had to fill the would with the dressing. The next day they had to change it and when they started pulling the dressing out of the wound I thought I was going to die. I left teeth marks on the metal bars on the hosp bed!!

    A kick in the face due to being in goals.

    A wedgie.

    Titty pinch.

    Brainfreeze.

    Nothing compared to my dad, broke his back falling from a two story building site onto broken rubble.

    Fell from the top of a waterslide and landed on the flat of my back, cutting my chin open in the process.
    Thought I'd broken my back when I came to.
    Only needed 3 stitches in my chin.
    Fcuking oww though.

    Broken coccyx.

    Bad intestinal infection or kidney infection, probably the former that was worse.

    You just reminded me I had a bad kidney infection a few years ago. So bad I collapsed & the doc thought it was my appendix.
    It was frightening how fast it happened. Got up that morning & felt fine, by the afternoon I was curled into the foetal position on the ground.

    All interesting stories and very painful, but hitting your baby toe off the corner of the door with no socks on has to be the most painful thing ever! You could punch through a brick wall just to distract yourself from the absolute pain of it! :)

    Whilst taking a flight to UK and feeling pretty good as sitting in between two hot guys. Upon the descend (fasten seat belt signs on so no loo) having to ask for a sick bag from flight crew and promptly throwing up - that hurt my pride big time :o ! Can you picture the mortification of handing the sick bag back to the stewardess !!

    Fell off a roof and broke my back:oStill living with pain:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭Reeni


    TMJD pain from the joint spasming and catching the trigeminal nerve.

    but one of the most enduring memories of pain is when I was younger, when I used to share a room with my sister. Came home late one night so left the light off and took my shoes off while going to bed so as not to wake her. I stubbed my toe on her bed, and tried not to scream, turned and stepped on an upturned plus, in my insane pain-addled brain ran to my bed where i stubbed the other toe off it.

    Agony.

    Kick to the 8alls in a kickboxing ring. Ironically when I eventually recoverd, it spurred me on to victory.

    Yup that happened me also! I had been sent by my GP to be checked into hospital; had my bags packed and all. The hospital doc examined me and told me I didn't have appendicitis, rather it was a kidney infection! Luckily they found out before the op I suppose, would have been funny afterward when I was still writhing in agony!

    Top of finger ripped off inside the jam of sitting room door that slammed shut from the wind.
    I could see the shiny white bone underneath.
    Aul one took the piece of finger with us to hospital and it was re-attached.

    Ouch.

    Also, biting down hard with the roof of your mouth on a toblerone :pac:

    Having to get a needle shoved into my ankle 3 times. Doctor had to bend the needle to get it right in. :(

    Advice: getting stitches in your hands or feet? go with general anaesthetic. Know ya clear out of it. Trust me.
