Worst pain ever????

[UKWildcat]

Oh okay. While that is still interesting, I thought you meant an entire set of your top teeth. You did say "front" didn't you?

Of this list of choices I have had all but a broken bone. I never really broke a bone, but fractured my nose in a fight. Stitches didnt hurt all that bad, Migraines sucked donkey shit right from the colon tap. I never meant break your tailbone, just falling on it hurts enough. Getting hit in the Jimmy goes away quick and happens alot, I have sat on my balls once or twice, that hurts bad also.

Double G, in the ninth grade we were playing softball and there wasnt enough gloves for everyone, so I played left field with out one. A ball was hit to me and I caught it bare handed. I was like, it isnt bad. The next batter hit one to me and I was all cocky about catching it. It hit right off the heel of my hand and then right into my nutz. I dropped like a toilet being emptied from a plane. That took about 30 minutes to go away.

Mine aren't on the list: Pepper Spray is slightly ahead of Taser at #1 (because it hurts so much longer), bruised rip cartilage is #3. Not good, any of them.

Recently I had a contender- put my contacts in while there was some kind of hot pepper on 'em, it felt like my eyes were getting scooped out with a red-hot spoon- took 'em out and cleaned 'em up good and it was fine.

Worst BLINDING pain I can (sadly) CLEARLY remember is dropping a gallon of boiling water on my foot (handle broke on the pot while I was moving it) while wearing army boots (which were TOTALLY waterproof but flared out to provide and easy way to funnel most of the water in there) and work socks

I hit the ground immediately writhing in pain and screaming, ripped the boot off but it was too late, when I took the sock off ALL the skin on my left foot came off like a condom with the sock- then I figured there was no use going to the hospital, cleaned it up pretty good and waited it out til the next evening, when the pain still hadn't gone down and the whole foot was looking kinda REAL ugly- I went in and told 'em I'd burned my foot a little- the doc came in and smiled and said" okay says here you burned your foot, let's take a look at it..." I showed it to him and I SWEAR he almost passed out or puked, he just stammered "Wh-wh-when did you DO this?" and I replied "Last night" and he looked totally astonished and said "WHY did you not come in earlier?!?!?!?!"


This was where the next most (or maybe even more, I kinda hit the ceiling for by this point pain and blocked most of this part out ) painful thing happened- the doctor just started saying some mumbo jumbo (a distraction which worked) told me to look at something on the wall then whipped out some kind of little scrubbing pad like you'd use on dishes and SCRAPED THE FUCK OUT OF MY FOOT WHILE HOLDING IT IN A DEATH GRIP- I screamed and he apologized, and after that every day 3 times a day I had to redress the fuckin thing and put ointment on it which hurt like fuck for the first week then got better pretty quick

Another incredibly painful thing was when I shattered my elbow them few years ago, the got misdiagnosed at the hospital and worked a shift running a floor cleaning machine (vibrates about as much as a rototiller) whit said shattered elbow- I thought it was just a sprained wrist but it hurt SO much there were tears streaming down my face the whole time- got home and Elf told me that the hospital called and left a message- I called 'em back and they told me to get there ASAP- then I got to wait for 6 fucking hours to get the cast put on

There's more but I'll give up the floor for now

I have sat on my balls once or twice, that hurts bad also.

I did that once getting into a car, but that pain subsided much faster than when the soccer ball got me.

I've also fallen on my tailbone a few times. The pain is weird to describe. It's like your whole spine goes numb and you feel like you're going to dry heave. The pain only lasts about ten seconds but it feels like a lot longer.

Another painful memory that I can remember was when I fell off my bike when I was 10 and I skinned my knee open so badly that I could even see some bone. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt much until it got sprayed with disinfectant and rubbing alcohol and the like. Then it stung like hell. I've still got the scar on my knee, and it sort of looks like a vagina.

Mabs, that is some CRAZY SHIT that happened to your foot. God damn!

Ball rollover hurts pretty fucking badly, too. This typically occurs when you're lying down, and somehow your scrotum is resting on the bone. And, when you move, you squeeze one nut between your tighty whities (which are elastic and press back) and the bone. It can actually be worse than a kick to the crotch, because those don't typically directly hit a ball. I had it happen one time that hurt so bad I was nauseous, but I couldn't stand up to get to the toilet.

I don't think I've experienced many of the choices. Ball-taps/kicks/punches obviously hurt like fuck, even though they do go away, but it sucks bad.

Last March, my friend was slamming my locker each time I tried to open it, just to be a dick. One of the times, I had my left pointer finger in there, and the fucking door's thinnest metal part smashed my finger into the main part of the locker, right at the base of my nail. I shouted "FUCK!" at the absolute top of my lungs, and then it started to bleed like shit. My finger was puffy as all hell for quite a long time, and there was purple blood underneath the nail until it grew out. It took like six months for that fucker to come back all the way, and it was damn weird.

It sounds like it shouldn't have hurt too much, but goddamn was it bad, especially since it was all concentrated in that one finger and didn't go away for a really long time.

Another bad pain I had was when I rolled my ankle. It was severely sprained and swelled up instantly. I thoughtI broke it, I think I would have rather broken it, but it hurt like fuck.

I voted Other for a broken heart.

okay, so two "big toe" stories.

sophmore year of college i'm living in a dorm that used to be a standard brooklyn apartment building, complete with ancient elevator and creepy labyrinthine basement. one drunken night my friends and i decide to check out the basement and equally ancient elevator machine room, which, btw, is pitch fucking black. oh, and i decided to do so barefoot. so one of my friends decides to "play-push" me, y'know where you just nudge someone as a joke, but being as drunk as she was, and as pitch fucking black as it was, she totally misjudged the distance between us and nearly pushed me into the elevator pulley system just as it (literally) sparks to life as the elevator is called to some floor above us. well, to stop myself short, i step down really fast and hard with my right foot, but it hasn't fully left the floor yet, as i proceed to step ON my right big toe WITH my right foot. i'll repeat that, because it bears repeating:

i fucking stepped on my fucking right toe WITH my fucking right foot.

the only way i could walk to class for the next three months was by taping the handles of two plastic spoons around my big toe. so that kinda sucked. i now have chronic pain problems with my right foot, specifically in the big toe region, though i'm not sure whether or not it is related.

about a year and a half ago, i had some dead skin around the toe nail of my left foot. as i am wont to do, i was a bit overzealous in achieving smooth skin in the area, and exposed a bit too much dermis. well, a long commute from park slope to columbia university (4 subway transfers, one in a long underground tunnel) and back again, plus a long day of work sweating in my leather shoe led to a rather nasty pain where the skin was exposed. as a freelancer at the time, without health insurance, i simply hoped that it would go away.

it didn't.

the pain got worse, the skin started to grow over the nail, and it got to the point where i was limping whenever i wore a shoe. one night in particular, i was getting out of a chair in a particularly awkward way, and simply glanced my toe along the edge of the back of the chair and crumpled to the floor. that was when i conceded that it was, in fact, infected. that weekend we went to a "doc in the box" immediate care place, where they gave me shots of novocaine or whatever, and proceeded to cut my toenail in half, digging it out from under the overgrown skin, and cutting the excess skin off. i watched the entire process, it was pretty cool. the doctor mentioned in the middle that i had a "very vascular nailbed". i asked if this was bad, and she simply said "no, just interesting."

at the end of the day, i ended up with my toe wrapped like a mummy and one of those stupid velcro strap boots. they told me that it would be very raw until the nail grew back and the skin healed, but i guess the pain of the infection was such that any pain from the healing process was absolutely nothing, and it healed well.

Infection pain's got to be the worst. Not only is the pain itself unimaginable, but it makes you sick as a dog.

The only infections that made me get sick were ear infections. Thank God I haven't had one in almost ten years.

I had my first ear infection last summer, while I had pinkeye and worked at Target. I could barely hear or see the customers and I couldn't breathe and constantly had to shit.

With all this medical talk, I almost feel like I'm somewhere else.

Jesus! And you actually worked?!?!? Damn, I bet that was rough, and you likely looked like death. Also, no telling how many custies you got sick; isn't pink eye mad contagious?
