Took my shoulder out of its socket twice in the same day , for years after if i stretched awkwardly or rolled over in bed it would roll in and out occasionally . Lower back muscle spasms due to worn lower vertebrates , had me instantly on the floor pounding away with my fist , dread it happening again .
I've just scanned this rubbing my jaw where it broke and thanking my stars I haven't experienced some of the horror stories from the last 15 years.
I can confirm broken jaws hurt, I have seen fingers severed and they seemed more "fuck, that hurt" than the extreme end.
I've remembered when I played rugby, a bloke ruptured a testicle and split his nutbag, like unzipped it, he screamed until he passed out, came to, screamed until he passed out again and was shaking like a boxer thats been starched. The mess that made still makes me feel sick to this day, all of the players after that dialled it in. I remember what he had done, he was running at speed and was stopped by the big fat head of our loose head prop, the props head being what set his plums free in a world that contains testicles to a skin bag for good reason. Amazingly when we played them the following season thats all we wanted to know was how he was on a rugby pitch again, miraculously the staff at Medway or wherever he was taken managed to reunite him with the contents of his scrotum but I cannot begin to imagine that level of agony
Mowing the lawn years ago I banged into the freestanding, head high, bird house we had and 250 wasps who had taken up residence in there flew out and attacked. I had around a dozen stings on my scalp… agony and pretty scary!
Mine sounds a bit lame had a cystoscopy having pissed some painful blood 🩸 out a few times and the urologist talked it down pain wise , fuck me sideways a camera crew in my little old boy was a killer , it’s all right nearly finished, he said for the 4th time , you say that again you Cnut and it’s not finished I’m gonna throw a swearing tantrum (I thought this but just swore a bit ) my Tourette’s kicked in , it was like glass and molten lava was pouring through my chap . Nearly there, fuck off and finish .
I have to agree with morts on this one. And afterwards it’s like pissing razor blades.
I dropped the largest size full tin of paint onto my big toe whilst helping a friend move. My toe nail immediately turned black and I was in agony. About 5 hours later (5 hours too late) I was taken to A&E where they drilled a tiny hole into my toe nail to release the blood.
Deep joy. If anyone ever does that get your nail drilled asap.
Agreed. I dropped a drain cover on my finger and left it for a week hoping it would get better
Had my finger nails drilled a couple of times, as well as the hot paper clip through to relieve the pressure. Last time I did it myself before the pressure built up.
I broke my ankle slipping down the stairs at Kilburn station which was painful enough but after coating my ankle with plaster of Paris my ankle became swollen and I was in agony in hospital. I’ve never had so much morphine. The pain was unbearable and I was at screaming point when the consultant decided to cut through the plaster to release my swollen ankle. The pain immediately subsided. Unfortunately no more morphine 🤓

This thread is beginning to sound like a scene from jaws... In terms of pain and utter humiliation having a catheter inserted( unsuccessfully) about a dozen times by a group of Spanish student nurses is up there I have had kidney stones a number of times but not the experience of some above I have a badly pinched femoral nerve at the moment which is also up there. I'd still contest that the cricket ball in the gonads is the worst and of course amusing for everyone else apart from the victim
An old flatmate of mine, from back in the days when I lived in Streatham, once stood on a chair to do some painting. He then jumped off and landed right on top of an upturned electric plug. The pain in his foot kept coming back from time to time for a long time afterwards.
November 2020 I was struggling to sleep one Saturday night, thought it was indigestion. Around 4am my wife called an ambulance, they took me in and dosed me up but found nothing.
This happened on a few more occasions until finally they found I had gallstones. I cannot begin to describe the pain from this but a friend of mine who had this as well and had given birth three times said it was worse then all three births.
Eventually this lead to me getting pancreatitis which hospitalized me and finally lead to them taking out my gall bladder.
At its worst the only thing that numbed the pain was intravenous morphine which I was on for the whole ten days I was in hospital, once I got home I had to go cold turkey on it to get it out of my system which was again not pleasant.
at the time it was just painful like a bad back pain. After several hours getting through A and E with no chairs available so I was standing up with crutches I had an x ray done. as soon as the doctor saw the x ray he just rushed over to me yelling at nurses and porters to get me a bed. Ended up laying on my back. He said that at any moment my spine could of fractured more and a piece of it could of gone straight through my spinal cord leaving me either with brain damage or lose the use of my legs.
Eventually after several weeks on my back I ended up at kings hospital to have the operation. On the Friday someone else had the same operation as me. For the whole weekend all I could hear from a ward down the corridor was him screaming in pain. My operation was booked in for the Monday. Was terrified. Still had a high risk of losing the use of my legs and had that man yelling all weekend. Got it done on the Monday morning. Woke up to the most beautiful Irish nurse I have ever seen. Angelic.
The pain after the operation was excruciating but because I had three other people in my room ward I tried my best to keep the noise down as they all had brain injuries. Suffered in silence.
Never felt pain like it. I was relatively alright before the operation.
Bloody hell, I was wincing just reading this.
I'm sorry you went through this horrific experience and am relieved you have come through it.
I’ve had gallstones and gout, and, on reflection, the gout was worse.
They whipped my gall bladder out, and the gout medication means i haven’t had that problem for almost 20 years. If anyone out there has untreated gout, get your doctor to try you on allopurinol, because it was almost impossible to control just by diet (at least for me) and it’s only going to get worse.
After my bypass I was put on Codeine tablets, unfortunately a side effect of this can be constipation.
I tried to go to the toilet and could not have a poo, and was frightened of trying too hard bearing in mind my heart condition. My wife bless her got the rubber gloves out to finish the job, I was crying with relief and the desperation of being in that situation.
I get cluster headaches for a couple of weeks in the summer, every few years. Non-sufferers assume that they're "just headaches", but they're not known as suicide headaches for nothing. It feels like there's a red hot poker stuck in one eye and one side of your head is going to implode.
They're caused by the veins in your neck constricting, so your brain doesn't get enough blood to function.
I've got some pills that stop the pain within about 30 minutes, but you can't think straight because your thoughts are kind of moving about in your head. So I rarely take them and end up suffering for between 6-8 hours at a time.
Some people get them almost every night. I honestly think that I would end it all if mine were that frequent.
You have my sympathies. All of them. I suffered from Cluster Headaches about ten years ago for about three months one summer, and the pain is unlike anything I've ever experienced before or since. I could only describe it as having an icepick slowly pushed into your eyeball, then temple - jaw - teeth - neck and even the shoulder. I would end up on the floor, bent over on my knees, holding my head, rocking backwards and forwards and moaning like a wounded animal.
Now, it might be nothing more than mere coincidence, but after I started visiting my Alexander Technique teacher, they stopped and - thanks be - have never returned. Haddocks, I would imagine that like I did, you'd do anything to stop the pain when you are experiencing an attack. Perhaps it might be of some help if you looked into getting some Alexander Technique lessons? I cannot claim it 'cured' me of my Cluster Headaches - I know it cured me of the chronic back pain I'd suffered years of - but you have nothing to lose...
Whatever you choose to do, I wish you the very best and sincerely hope that eventually you'll be spared the agonies of this wretched affliction.

As a warning to everyone, never take codeine tablets, I know from bitter experience that they nearly always give you constipation

My warning would be - Ladies, never marry a man who may take codeine in the future.
@ElfsborgAddick - Now that, my friend, is the absolute definition of A Keeper. Gawd bless ’er.

This thread is beginning to sound like a scene from jaws... In terms of pain and utter humiliation having a catheter inserted( unsuccessfully) about a dozen times by a group of Spanish student nurses is up there I have had kidney stones a number of times but not the experience of some above I have a badly pinched femoral nerve at the moment which is also up there. I'd still contest that the cricket ball in the gonads is the worst and of course amusing for everyone else apart from the victim
Just letting you all know that I have just experienced the kidney stone pain for the first time from groin down to inner thigh...I honestly thought I would die ..I was vommitting, I passed out and the other half had to call an ambulance..I just hope its moved to my bladder now ..so I have changed my mind its kidney stones
