Pain; share the love!

[ZennyPLUS]

Have you ever been in so much pain that it's literally cause to you fall to your knees and cry? Is it a physical pain or an emotional one? Perhaps a mental pain too?

I've got this killer toothache that rivals the worst car accidents I've been in, and it's gotten down on my knees more than a few times. There was also that one time I think I nearly broke my sternum in a crash on my bike, but that was kinda hazy and all i remembered was pain and having a hard time breathing.

Talk to me.

i've been extremely lucky on this one.. i've never broken any bones, suffered any excruciatingly painful injuries / surgeries, etc. the most painful thing i can recollect is probably getting a few stitches or jamming my finger in a door and having some skin peel back. a little cringe inducing but nothing nearly as bad as a lot of things.

i did crack my head open as a child, twice actually. but i don't remember these events because i blacked out shortly after having them happen.

the most extreme pain I can remember was a few weeks ago when I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms from coming off of a hydrocodone prescribed to me because of a wound I sustained from breaking up a pitbull fight.  I don't think it would have been as bad if it werent for the fact that as soon as my symptoms started to kick in, I was in the middle of an 8 hour flight and had to sit upright in a pretty uncomfortable seat through most of it

or maybe getting my kneecap shattered with a cinderblock when I was in 6th grade

or accidentally grabbing an electric bull wire with both hands when I was 14

no wait, its every single time i stub my pinkie toe on something while I'm walking around in the house  barefoot fuck that goddamn shit hurts more than anything in the world

I get a lot of migraines. The worst one I ever had was in 8th grade where my whole head was exploding and every sound was but a ring. I staggered to the clinic only to wait for a parent to come down and get me an aspirin.

I've also, in 4th grade, I was on vacation at Daytona and by the pool I slipped, fell, and crashed my head on the concrete. Luckily I was knocked out so I could only feel have the pain. My head wasn't split open surprisingly though.

hmm.... an overload of information. mostly due to repercussions of processing it.

Probably when I snapped the bones in my left arm in half, shattered the bones in my right arm and broke my 2 front baby teeth in half. That day sucked :x

[Sheepy]

This wasn't my experience, but one of someone else's that I had witnessed in person. In middle school, 8th grade I think, it was the last period of the last day of school, which happened to be gym class. There were a couple of kids playing basketball inside, where everyone was either playing too or just sitting about like I was. When I had just grabbed my things for the bell, these two kids playing basketball crashed into each other which resulted in one of them breaking their leg. Right in front of me, he was shouting and his leg was bent the wrong way.

Coaches went and got a wheel chair for him right before the bell rang, and here I am leaving knowing the fact that that kid had to start his summer vacation in a cast.

Poor guy. :<

When I was young I was having a bath and I wanted to use the fancy soap so I climbed out of the bath up onto the sink to where they were. I slipped and fell onto a glass container, it shattered and blood went everywhere. I know have scars all over my body.

A runner up is when I was doing a grading for karate and I had to fight 20 rounds with only 10 to 20 seconds between each round. This is after 2 hours of stamina training so by that time you are absolutely buggered. The punches to the face and such aren't as bad as the exhaustion, these people are fresh and I was spent. Though you can't half ass it and be defensive or else you fail. So I had to attempt to fight, and its not easy work fighting someone when you a fresh either so when you're stuffed its a massive challenge. If you've ever seen a 100man kumite you see by a few fights in the technique becomes very sloppy.
100-man kumite. Shokei Matsui
Video starts at the first fight, if you watch it then skip to halfway the guy's attacks become sloppy, very difficult. I wouldn't be able to do it now, I've become way too unfit.

Mental pain is probably when I was ill with whooping cough and glandular fever at the same time, I had a 39°C temperature and it was above 30°C outside with no clouds or breeze. I left school early because I was unwell, then I staggered into work and told them I wouldn't be in this evening. Then I managed to get home and then collapsed in bed. I passed out for a while and came to a few hours later, I drank a litre of water which was next to my bed then proceeded to sweat in agony for the next hour. Then my father came home and I tried calling out for help but my voice was too weak then I passed out again for a few more hours. I came around again and was drenched in sweat as if someone had threw a bucket of water over me and on my bed. I then tried calling out again but my voice was still too weak and then a fair while passed and my mother came home and I heard my mother ask what happened with me because the school rang her up and told her I left. He said he didn't hear a thing and mum came into my room and found me in such a desperate state, she then took my temperature and then yelled at my father for not helping me and not paying attention. She then gave me some water and a few painkillers then proceeded to have a fight with my father which ended with him ripping the door off the hinges and him yelling at me. By that time my fever didn't get better so my mother took me to hospital and they said I had severe dehydration.

1) until I was about 12 my mother took me to the dentist about once a year to get teeth pulled even when they weren't loose or ready to come out

2) last year of high school got some cavities filled. got white fillings cause I didn't know they were a scam. One fell out. Tooth got infected. Cheek blew up like a balloon. Had to get a special kind of root canal surgery where they shove a small spoon through the tooth and into the cheek, scooping out all the infected flesh. Gross and long process. The anesthetic didn't work.

3) working at Target at about 5 am back in 2004 or 2005. Putting up price signs early sunday morning. Managed to jam a small rectangular sheet of metal through my palm and out the other side of my hand. I was too sleepy to give a fuck. Hurt like a bitch an hour later. Bandaged it myself, got better, no scar.

4) Sometime halfway through high school. Fall out back of school bus. Land on left leg. Twist lower half of my leg around backwards, shredding the cartilage and muscle in my knee. Didn't want surgery. Got a cast. Got the flu right afterwards. Couldn't care for myself. Spent two weeks basically dragging myself through the house with my arms like an animal, vomiting and shitting nearly constantly. Often couldn't drag myself to the restroom quickly enough in emergencies. Had to pee into a thermos. Eventually was able to use a cane and go back to school. Idiot friend thought I was my brother and tackled me in the hallway re-injuring the leg. Never have I come to close to murdering a human being. I still hang with this guy a lot too. He knows one day I'm going to get revenge for that shit. I still walk with a limp.

5) July of 2011 or so, thought I was having a heart attack during XMEN ORIGINS. Couldn't breathe, rushed to hospital. Turned out to be a random anxiety attack out of nowhere. Got a lot of xanax to help with mood swings. Didn't help. Fell into a deeply depressing existentialist stupor that lasted up until maybe last February when I suddenly had to do a lot of work for weebl. Cost me a fortune. Managed to get myself un-fucked enough to take a road-trip to New York and go to comic con.


On the plus side, going to the hospital revealed I am healthy as a fucking horse.

Had bad earaches when I was younger and trouble with hearing.I had to get tubes in my ears and it always sucked not really being able to go underwater (they have earplugs but all those products fell never stayed in my ear).  Then they took out my tonsils which I don't know why but supposedly was to help my earaches. Still got tubes for a few more years with earaches and crap until I got a lot older.

I played lacrosse in middle school. One game we went up against a private school for girls, and these girls seriously looked like tanks. While going for the ball, one of the girls rammed into me, I stumbled, and ended up twisting up my ankle really bad in a ditch of grass. Thought it was just a sprain, so I wrapped it, and now my ankle is all messed up and pops when I move it around.

when i was in 4th grade i think, we were swinging around on some handle bars and i fell and primarily landed on the area between the left side of my neck and my left shoulder. to this day, i really can't turn my head all the way to the left.

[Gladius]

slipped on an ice patch and cracked my left elbow joint on the concrete, didn't realize how bad it hurt until hours later

doctors took an xray and found nothing wrong talk about USELESS

"Yeah. No big deal. I'm just bad-ass as hell."

How did you manage to fall out of a bus?

[Kooh]

Was in P.E Class, we had to carry a team member distributing the weight like you would with a bride:


My jackass teammate didn't alert me, came running towards me, and I went down with him.

I have a sciatic problem now. I wish this upon no one. You will never know how it feels, but I do.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciatica

It's a nerve that connects to the spine and goes through the buttcheeks.

Think of it like a perpetual shot.

I've only ever gotten hurt legit once in my life. It was in 6th grade and we had just been let out of school for the Thanksgiving break and I was walking down the main street from the school, I was hurrying to get home cuz my dad and stepmom were picking me up for the weekend. To preface, some kids had started some shit with me in the lunch line the day before and I guess one of the kids saw me and decided to continue what we'd left off on the day before. He ran up full speed and kicked me square in my spine, me having my hands in my pocket, didn't have enough time to react, faceplanted right on the pavement. I looked up and just saw him running off. I stand up and see every kid around me just staring in horror and I realize my mouth and basically my whole face bleeding. So I wobble back to the school, to the nurse's office which for some reason was up on the 3rd floor, so I ended up leaving a very prominent trail through most of the building and the staircases. My dad and stepmom showed up about 45 minutes later since they were traveling from far away and the nurse expected I'd need to get stitches in my lip cuz of there just being a huge gash in it. Also, my nose was dislocated, visibly crooked and I had 2 blackeyes. I also had a big foot-shaped bruise on my back for a while. Luckily I ended up not needing stitches for my lip, but my parents decided to take me to Bob Evan's (family restaurant). Very awkward, had to sit in the middle of the restaurant and was gawked at by other patrons the whole time.

Wrapping this story up quickly, the kid never got in trouble, even with everyone in school seeing it happen. Already prone to anxiety, I developed some paranoia that took me a good 2 years to overcome, only got over it fully when I moved. I always walked in the grass next to the sidewalk fearing it would happen again at some point (didn't hear the kid running towards me before). Still have a scar on my lip, but it's just a round bump on my lower lip, feels like I have like a tictac or something in my lip. Oh yeah, I remember when my nose reset itself, it happened in school about 2 weeks later. It just crinked back but it was so sudden and painful, I screamed in the middle of a reading assignment in class haha.
