What was your most painful injury?

Irishguy16 · 02-05-2015 06:21PM #1

Mine happened a couple of weeks ago, managed to shatter my kneecap into a couple of pieces! Had an accidental trip, my knee took the entire fall, full body weight, plus the weight of my heavy backpack at the time.

Was only after an hour or two that I realised it was much more than a bad bruise, had an operation a few days later, surgeons pinned the bones back together, 5 weeks later bones are healed,and I'm beginning to take baby steps again

Nothing else even comes remotely close!

Not so much an injury, but treatment for one...
A spinal tap.....aaargh

Stood on an unturned Lego piece once.

It was touch and go for a while whether I'd lose my leg or not.

Nowhere near the most serious, but the most painful was a scalded finger, hands down.

An up turned electrical plug is in the top 5.

Disc injury to my back Jesus h Christ it hurt like hell

Inner thigh ligament tear. Months of pain and not being able to walk properly. I was the driver in a head on crash, and the unbelted passenger behind me went through me.

Closely followed by an ankle ligament tear, with months of pain and not being able to walk properly. Football injury. Couldn't play for a year after it.

Cervical spine injury. Serious nerve pain with no way to find relief other than to wait it out (weeks). Awful.

Even thinking about that makes me cringe, when I did it I could hear the puncture sound as it went into my foot, the pain was horrendous and the blood which gushed out had a purplish hue to it. Left a scene of total devastation on my landing.

I woke up with a leg cramp last week. Spent the next two minutes hopping around my room, creating all kinds of interesting new compound swearwords.

Perhaps you want to take step away and actually keep quiet because this is only the second thread I've clicked into this evening and you're bitching in both of them.

Broke my kneecap and dislocated the whole lot.i still get squeamish when I see someone hurting their knees in a match.the most painful thing I've experienced although it didn't last as long as the knee injury was a cut to my eyeball because I rubbed a my eye one morning wearing dried contact lenses.the edge of the lense somehow got sharp and I was hungover and rubbed really hard.it left a cut right down my pupil.i could see a black line through my vision and yellowish liquid came out.the pain was so bad I thought I was gonna go mad.i was shaking with the pain.it took about three days to go away fully.i also got pleurisy before and it was really really painful.i though there was something drastically wrong.a violent stabbing pain in the back of my lung.

It's a toss-up between the time I had my big toe crushed by a retractable bar on the back of a tractor, and the time I jumped off a ledge, landed on uneven ground, and tore the ligaments in my ankle.

With the toe, I had to go to the hospital because the bottom of it had burst open. They threw 4 or 5 stitches in. That wasn't too bad. It was after they had removed the nail that the pain began. Two big needles into where the nail used to be. That hurt quite a bit.

With the ankle, I couldn't walk on it for weeks. Probably should have gone to a doctor about it, but I just hobbled along.
Just after it had healed, I was helping a cousin move furniture. While carrying something light, I walked into her front garden, and once again stepped on uneven ground.
The first two happened while I was drunk, so the pain was a little more bearable. This time I was sober, and it was the other ankle. Took off my boot and watched the ankle swell up. Drove barefoot to the doctor, who sent me to the hospital, and the second ankle healed a lot faster.
Then my father died.

A broken ankle, it wasn't as bad until I saw that it was backwards....

Got a six inch nail up through my foot once when I stepped on a plank of wood.

Got the prong of a fork down through the other foot (my brothers and I had an awful habit of not knowing where the line between horseplay and attempted murder was :pac: ).

Went over the handlebars of a BMX, chipping my tooth, that was actually more painful than the time I went to limbo under a wire fence (the fence was electrified, I let go but I caught my four front teeth on the wire, yanked them right up, and amazingly I was able to slot them back into position!).

Being trampled by a horse was painful, but I didn't feel a thing after the first once-over, actually the hoof on the back of my head where the horse caught the base of my skull, that was pretty sore, my head was flopping from side to side as I tried to run away, but then someone told me my head always did that when I ran, probably since the time I tried to hang upside-down on a see-saw by the back of my knees, lost my grip cos I wasn't strong enough to hold on, smacked off the ground head first, 'bout a three foot drop cos I was only six or seven at the time.

Took a lump hammer to the back of my head a few years back, but it wasn't serious because the guy lacked the physical strength to follow through (that time the drugs didn't work, for him at least, still hurt like a bitch though!)...

Can't think of anything else right now apart from taking a few hits to the nads, but I wouldn't say there's a man here doesn't know that feeling :pac:

Running full pelt through ferns,down a hill,left knee(in the "cocked" position) hit a huge rock and smashed my kneecap-looked like pizza slices on the xray!

I'd have to agree with this, most painful thing I've ever experienced, makes me wince everytime I think about it.

Painful even reading that! :eek:

I've never actually broken a bone, but would falling into a bed of nettles count as a painful injury? They bloody stung the shyte out of me in my tee-shirt and shorts!

What was your most painful injury?
