Default Tell Me Your Worst Injury/Pain

Because I like reading things that make me cringe!

I can only think of one thing, outside childbirth, at the moment...

Back in high school, I got a charlie horse in my calf that lasted at least 5 minutes. It hurt so unbelievably bad. Afterward, I had the largest, darkest, nastiest bruise I've ever seen on anything, on my calf and couldn't walk for a few days... after I could, I was still limping in pain.

Since i have Transverse Myelitis i had to have another lumbar puncture (spinal tap) done. Well, when they pulled the needle out from my back they pulled something slightly (they said). I was on my back at home for over a week. Whenever i sat down i had the worst pain in my head (the WORST EVER), and when i stood up i had the headaches AND nausea and dizziness. Not really cringeful, but lumbar puncture's arent a walk in the park!

my worst looking injury would be this-



that was a result of this-


wasnt too painful though. i just looked pretty.

The worst pain-wise was when i broke my collar bone in 3 places. I was playing rugby, had the ball, tucked down to drive into someone and their head smashed into my collarbone. like i said, 3 fractures, and 2 of the pieces actually started to poke up out of the skin. Before reseting the bones, i just kinda laid there on the ground in no pain whatsoever. I knew that it was broke though.. 20 minutes later the paramedic showed up and it was time to reset the bones. they gave me a stick to bite down on, counted to 3 (bastards did it @ 2 so i wouldnt expect it!), and i screamed for 2 seconds and passed out. it felt HORRIBLE.


im all good now though

the day after the crash....




An old man pulled in front of me and I T-boned him. I nearly killed him but at the last millisecond I jerked the wheel and missed his driver door. The force of the impact (at 50 mph) ripped my thumb off because I grabbed the wheel with my thumb rapped around. The bone was sticking straight out and pouring blood. It was a fun experience I would def. recommend it....

oh and also another time that was extremely painful would be having a herniated disk in your back.
I was so painful to walk and I almost passed out trying to drive a stick. That would also be something you might want to experience.

I've had Migraines and assorted injuries, but NOTHING hurt as bad as
last summer when I broke a rib. That is hands-down the most painful
thing I have ever dealt with. And it is very slow to heal. It happened
almost a year ago and it still gets sore when I work out.

i was pulling a pallet full of batteries, must have weighed about 3000 lbs, up a ramp into a container with help from a coworker pushing from behind so we could get some momentum to get it up the ramp. as i pulled with all my strength to get it up the ramp my foot slipped on the metal and got caught i tried to ram my shoulder into the batteries to slow it down but didnt help and my body whipped into the floor like a ragdoll with my foot still caught under the the pallet jack wheel. when i took off my boot it had ripped my big toe nail clean off.

but that dude with the black eyes and missing scalp wins lol cant beat that.

back in HS... i was bike riding and a guy was coming at me.. i move to the right to get out of his way... he moves... i move back to the left... at the last minute i try to break out of the way and end up T-boning him... his bike folds in half... my bike compresses... i vault over my handle bars closeline him and drive his face into the pavement... NOT A SCRATCH...mean while i notice that a piece of my bike had gentle lodged itself in my thigh just above my knee...
so i thought it was just a little thingie... took out about an inch and a half out of my thigh... thats when it started hurting...
p.s. i still went biking for the rest of the afternoon and i still have the scar... good times...

i just threw my back out for the second time in 3 years... sharp pain anytime i put weight on my left foot... so much that i couldnt breathe while standing... was more scary than painful... and frustrating... since im not the type to stay still for too long...

I got jumped in High School and got pushed down a flight of stairs. That sucked big time.

Other than that, when I was in 4th grade or so, someone through a chair at me and hit me in the head(I was a bastard when I was young). It missed my eye socket by centimeters. I didn't get knocked out surprisingly, but blood was everywhere. I have a nice scar on my left eyebrow now. Coolest part was having to wear an eye atch. Garrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

gee i guess my pain was a walk in the park.

i was 13 and iwoke up from a nap andi couldn't walk or move my legs. i had a ******** infection. now that hurts!


couldnt walk for 2 days. i had to drag myself around and forget about the bathroom. that was an adventure. doctors said if it was anymore severe, (like it wasnt, right ) they would have had to remove it!

imagine hearing that at 13 years old

I've done some pretty stupid sh*t so this is a tough one, but my worst pain ever, and it still haunts me to this day. Freshman year of highschool, football pratice. We are running blocking drills (linemen) and i go up against my friend, he is roughly 325+ lbs, well i get by him with a swim move. I guess he wasnt able to keep his balance, he falls on me, well not me, my calf and knee. My right knee does almost a complete 90 degree angle, from the side, not back, not forward, it went sideways. Most excruciating pain of my life. I played in the game that week too, not smart. Almost the same exact thing happened, when a smaller guy rolled over my leg, i just collapsed. Tore my ACL about 85% through, been to physical therapy 5 times now, cant stand for long periods of time, not to mention i have a messed up knee cap.

i am 18 with the knees and back of a 70 year old man, it's fun. Back i got from a car accident, still wont work right for me.

i'll throw this up for fun

Okay...I'm probably going to regret asking this; but how in the heck did
you get a ******** infection?

i haven't had a lot of pain in my life, but i've had stitches with no anesthetic, woke up on an operating table, etc. let's just say i don't respond well to anesthetic. however, the worst pain i've experienced in my short years came from getting tattooed on my chest along the sternum and under the breast. sometimes i can't believe the lengths i go to for art.
