    I would consider myself pretty lucky with injuries, couple of broken arms, sprained ankle, few stitches is about all I've gotten.

    However when I was 7 I got a slap of a hurley just above the eye and between the pain and shock of all the blood on my T-shirt it was horrendous. Even the stitches being put in was so painful, I'll never forget it. The scar it left isn't even that cool :p

    So AH'ers, whats the worst injury you ever had?

    STD's or a cramp in your gooch do not count!

    Regular Migraines.

    I've had no physical injuries that come as close to being as painful

    I caught the top of my hoojah in my fly. :eek:

    When I was 7 months old I fell out of my high chair and was in hospital for days. My mother thought I was dead, because I wasn't crying. Clearly, this is my excuse for being an idiot.

    I fell through a pair of french doors and cut my wrist.

    Broken arms/fingers/ankles.

    Fractured wrist, or a kick in the nuts that left me pissing blood for a fortnight.

    I think the latter was much more emotionally scarring.

    Brother dove over my leg with a tractor.
    Ligament pulled a chunk of bone out of the side of the knee, It hurt a lot.
    Not as bad as the pain when the first time I bent my knee after the cast came off, was agony. Followed by realising with horror that I would have to straighten my leg again :(

    A chick at a party once cut me on the knob with her nail at a party. Felt the pain but couldn't tell what was up due to the lighting. Didn't realise til she handed me a beer, and the bottle was all bloody :eek: Queue discus convening the Lads, and asking for help.

    The bastards just made me drink the pain away.

    The string off my coat got caught in an escalator, I was pulled down and the escalator ripped my back to shreds


    My lovely coat was ruined too :(

    A hairline fracture in my ankle which took ages to heal, it was so small in the x-ray it was barely visible but the pain was horrible.

    Also a nasty gash above my eye after walking into a shelf :o lots of stitches and a bad ass scar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭cruiser178


    Put a jack hammer on my foot and hit the trigger by accident, that was a bit sore. Apart from that few stitches here and there, been lucky i suppose.

    Never had anything worse than nettle stings on the arse, and an attempt at relieving me of my nipples.


    Do they count? :pac:

    ripped a couple of the main ligaments on the outside of my right foot to shreds in a soccer match about 5 years ago. had to go to hospital, never felt pain like it. . .


    . . .of course the nurse was more concerned with the broken big toe on the same foot that I had yet to notice - still don't know how that happened

    cut the top of my finger off when i was 3, my mam slammed the door on it...i remember there was loads of blood and my hand was wrapped in a yellow towel that very quickly turned red but luckily it got reattached again

    We're on the second page and not a sign of a torn banjo string, those women's bumholes mustn't be as tight as back in my day :pac:

    First day in Australia, swimming at bondai beach i was going one way and the undercurrent was going the other.

    About half a mile out and i feel the worst pain i have ever felt in my life, feels like my leg has been ripped off and i am thinking that this is it a shark has got a hold of me (there had in fairness been some sightings and i think an attack a week previous)

    Swim back to the beach using only my arms, literally seeing red from the pain and when i drag myself on to the beach i look down expecting to see a leg missing. The calf muscle in my left leg had been pulled out of place and pushed around to the front of my shin, the whole thing! I had also ruptured the achilles tendon as well.

    Worst pain ever!

    Heres an x-ray. They're titanium rods,screws and cups holding my spine together at my neck. Where the screws go in is actually a piece of bone removed from my hip.

    I pulled a pot of tea over myself when I was an infant, got severe scalding on my neck, chest and right shoulder.

    Got skin grafts and still left with some scaring on right chest and shoulder.

    same thing pal, hurley full force in the face, couldnt see cause my nose swelled up like a balloon and had panda eyes for about 10 days, still cant breathe right through my nose even though i was hit 14 yrs ago (half of us didnt bother wearing helmets back then).

    In 1st year of secondary school, I was practising for a long jump event coming up at a county event.

    The P.E. teacher who was supposed to be supervising had gone off to watch a soccer match in his office, and had left a 4th year in charge of the training (so he was maybe 16 years old).

    Anyway, nobody had thought to check the sand pit to make sure it was safe to land in.

    I took my run, jumped, and both my ankles snapped when I landed on a huge rock buried beneath the sand.

    Was painful as hell, and apparently I screamed so loudly it was heard on the other side of the school.

    Queue panicking 4th year, who said my ankle was just in shock, and I was fine. He cancelled the session for the day, and everyone left.
    This left me to walk up a pretty long and tall gravel covered hill, with no shoes or socks on, and two broken ankles.

    I think the walking to the school with broken ankles was the worst part.

    Wow. Are you okay now?

    Snapped achilles tendon and hernieated disc in my back for me (different times)
